| Pin sights Are there any FITA or GNAS target rounds in which pin sights are legal? I quite fancy getting a Hoyt Vectrix sight for my compound, but I'm wondering if having three pins constitutes multiple aiming references. I presume pins are legit for field? Any experiences with pin sights, or opinions on what's good, bad, overpriced, etc?      |

| RE: Pin sights Pin sights as you say are perfectly legal in Field Archery. They are also legal in NFAS freestyle (recurve with sights). I believe that GNAS has a class, Compound Limited, compound bow with pin sight, shot off the fingers, no release aid. |

| RE: Pin sights I'm not sure on the rules with multi pins in GNAS/FITA however I would see no problem in using them, you could even look at the Toxonics multi pin (Top Gun I think its called) this uses multi pins and has a scope lens too, best of both worlds </p>

| RE: Pin sights Curiously (!) the Rules of Shooting are a bit ambiguous here. For recurve feestyle rule 202 (e) states that only a single sihting pin is permitted but rule 207(e) for compound unlimited isn't that specific - better ask a judge !! johnn |

| RE: Pin sights Extract from the GNAS Rules of Shooting. 208. Compound Limited The Compound Limited is generally as described for Compound Unlimited in Rule 207 but with the following variations: (d) Multipin sights are allowed, except for archers shooting for FITA Awards |
