Guys, I dont mean to ruffle any feathers, I know we all like different setups.  BUT, set up your target at 30 yards, and shoot dead center.
Move your target to 20 yards and shoot it with your 30 YARD PIN.  You should see that there is no reason to have a 20 yard pin on a modern bow for Elk season. 
When limited to 3 pins give yourself a chance by setting up 30, 40, 50. One more bonus to this set up is you have one less thing to worry about in the 10' to 35' range.  Just one pin to concentrate on. 
Here is a little thing I like to do just to understand my bow better.  set up your target at say 30' then shoot it with your 20' pin and your 40' pin.  You will see that even on a white tail, with most modern bows, you have a clean kill shot.  On an Elk this is even more true.  Past 40' this doesnt work as well.

5 pin 20 to 60 and then my 20 is a floater all the way to 100 and my 60 is then a 130 for fun times with buddys

I use a 3 pin set up. 25 40 and 60. I practice at 20yds to 60. Not comfortable with anything greater than 60

I shoot SDP from Spott Hogg. 20-80 yard pins because I hunt Western Washington and it is thick a two inch difference at 20 yards is the difference between a hole to get a shot through and a limb.  But I do agree if I were hunting in more open terrain I would have 30-90 yard pin setup. At the range I use a pin gap method and it works well enough to put 5 arrows in pie tin at 100 yards.

I shoot the Black Gold Ascent and love it.  5 pins 20-60 and then can slide it all the way out 140 yards and I have it sighted in out to there.  I usually practice out to 100 yards regularly at the range.  I try to keep it under 60 when I'm hunting.
