What kind of site? Some of my older ones I could, but my Spott Hogg's you cant because they've got windage/elevation screws for each individual pin.

You can buy pins for tru-glo sights at Cabelas.  They just have fiber-optic wrapped around the pins, but they should work in any tru-glo sight.  I think they come in 3 different sizes.

Im just curious, why would you need that many pins? Any more than 3 just seem to be in the way anyway, and I wouldn't take a shot at anything thats 50 yards or more. What kind of bow?

i shoot a hoyt alphamax35. 57 pound draw.
i have five pins..20,25,30,35,40.
ya i could space them out more, but i like the way it shoots with them that close. ive never been a fan of having them at 20,30..etc. that just means holding the twenty on the back at 25 yards. so i went with what i did.

Whatever works I guess. I would just think that in the heat of the moment, that many closely spaced pins would cause confusion. That bow set up is certainly fast enough that I think with practice you would be much happier with 10 yard spacing.
