Bow Sight Adjustment
Hello :). Before everything else, excuse me for my English; it's not my native language and it may contain some errors :). But I'll try for the best so:

No matter if it's single-pin or multi-pin; compound bow sights are adjustable to the distance of the target in the real world. Well, let's say the multi-pin sights in the game has adjusted and tuned to the 20, 30 and 40 yards from top to the bottom pins, and you need some tools (like as allen wrench, screwdriver e.t.c) which you don't have any while in the wild to re-adjust the sight. In this case, it would be understandable that why these multi-pin sights are not adjustable in the game... And it wouldn't be a big deal if the pins had been adjusted and the sight itself had been tuned well; you might find the correct aim with gaps between pins when it's necessary. For example, you've got a 3 pin bow sight. The top pin shows 20 yards and the middle one shows 30 yards and if you've got a 25 yards of distance to the target, that means you have to aim between top and middle pins; it's not so hard isn't it?

But what about the single-pin sights? It's really hard to aim in different distances. That is not easy to calculate how much gap you need WITH ONLY ONE SINGLE AND VERTICAL PIN for correct shot, just like on the multi-pin is... Actually, there is even NO NEED FOR GAPING on the single pin sights in real. Learn the distance (by range finder or e.t.c), dial the sight to the exact distance, aim and shoot; this is the process of the single-pin sighted bow hunting...

So we the bow hunters need to be able to do some adjustments on the sights; at least on the single-pin one...

Edit: You better watch this video to get better what I mean; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5logZG8x9fc

Single pin is 40 yards. I find this easier than the multi-pinned sights. Simple and easy to use.

Yeah, I bought the 3 pin and gave up on it and went back to the single pin which (once you know to aim low at close targets) I find to be accurate and quicker to use.
