Title: what sights do you use.
Post by: VAHUNTER on February 25, 2011, 06:42:02 AM
i went with BlackGold on my wife's and my new bows. the best sights i have ever owned. super bright pins!!! they collect light and transmit it through the pins. a sight light is not needed in the darkest conditions. + they come with a lifetime warranty No questions asked. if they break they fix them free of charge. even if it is your fault

Black Gold Flashpoint Redzone 5 .019 pin.  I bought it for the 3rd axis adjustment.  It is the brightest pin on the market.  I would love to try a Spot Hogg Hogg-it hunter at some point, but see no reason to change right now.

I'm using the Spot Hogg with Hogg wraps and love it.  I added the light to help in the blind this spring.

I have a Trophy Ridge Firewire. I am partial to the clean and clear sight picture. All the pins coming in from the side is too obstructive for my taste.

Great sight, I have the same one. Had to add the G5  light kit to keep the fixed pin bright enough.
May have to go with the HHA next cause my eyes aren't what they use to be and they make lenses that will help.

I've got this same setup but with the light.  I haven't tried it from a blind yet... just shooting in the back yard.  I really like the setup I got with the first 2 pins being larger than the bottom 3.  I was shooting a TruGlo that was bright, but the pins covered up my target beyond 30 yards.

spot hogg lifetime warranty and with the wrap those pins are extremely bright and best of all there micro ajustible,  with todays bows being designed micro sights seem like a must anymore.

Axcel Armortech made by TRU Ball....I have two sets (one HD and one non-HD) and I really like them both. They are not cheap but are well made sights for sure.

I agree,  have been using this sight since it was introduced and it is very bright, super quick micro adjustments and built like a tank!

I have both of my Z7's set up with Axion Edge 5-pin, I like what Dave has done at Axion with the elevation adjustment on the bracket, i am a 26"DL and if i tweak my arrows and poundage i can get about 277 fps so all my sights before were maxed out in the down position trying to get all i could for distance, so when i had a choice of which holes i wanted to use on the bracket it allows me to keep my pins centered in my sight ring, my camo Z7 that is set up for hunting i can still keep them centered in the ring, there are a lot of excellent sight choice out there with the new tech coming from the IQ sight with the bubble in the circle or the new sights coming out with the rings that if you can see the color you are torquing, we should see advances in site tech for a while to come.

Montana Black Gold sights are bullet proof. I am shooting the Spott Hogg Hogg It Hunter with 7 0.010" pins. I added the light for blind shooting after struggling to see the pins on a gobbler last year. When hunting from a dark blind looking into the bright light, it's tough without a sight!


BOFF - I admire you and hope to leave the sights off one day and shoot instinctive.
