Bow Sight Recommendations

Bed Wetter · Mar 14, 2016

Need a bow sight. Want a pin or pins that can be sighted in from 20 to 100 yards. Thinking .019" fibers or smaller. I don't know if I trust sights with distance stickers. Maybe. Go!

Single pin. .019. HHA makes some great stuff! I would check them out. Trust the yardage tape, they are more accurate than most people sighting in on there own. I have both the slider and the wheel sights. I love them both and would never go back to a multi pin sight, with one exception. I think there is a model, not sure who makes it, but it is 3 pins. sight the first two pins to a desired yardage, and the third pin is adjustable.

just got a single pin HHA and am a big fan. Can't wait to hunt with it this fall

I'm getting a new sight shortly and I"m going to go with a Montana Black Gold Ascent Verdict 3 pin slider. I like having three set pins but still having the ability to adjust to longer shots. S&S Archery has a March special where you can get $20 off and you can customize the sight with whatever features you want.

Look into Black Gold as labhunter pointed out. You can go on their website and completely customize a sight how you want it (# of pins, color of pins, ring color, size of fiber, slider or not, etc). I had them quote me a custom 4 pin with .019" for the top two pins and smaller for the bottom two pins .010", I believe. You can have them quote you direct or they told me to go to my local shop (Scheels) and bring in the form I built the sight on and I would get a better price through distribution. I haven't pulled the trigger yet, but the pricing was right in line with all others.

If you want to order a custom black gold (or spot hogg), try sandsarchery.com - last time I ordered, they had the best deal for a custom black gold sight and had it in my hands really quick too.

the kid and i shoot MBG ascent with a custom head. i shoot a 4 pin he has a 3 pin. I am sighted in from 20-100 yards. I use my bottom pin as the floater pin. so i have 20,30,40,50 then the sight moves down to 60,70 etc. they are bulletproof sights

ive shot a CBE 3 pin with a slider on it and it has been pretty effective for me!

NodakBuckeye · Mar 14, 2016

And I was thinking maybe you had twin .50s on the boat for pirates, jet skiers, ramp slobs and the like. Big ol WWII crosshair on the bow would look pretty sweet.

Now that's my kind of bow hunting.

I went with a spot Hogg about 12 years ago, now I have 2. Use the for hunting 7 pin Hogg it wrapped with .10 pins and a 5 pin Hogg it for 3-d and spots in .19. I did try the hogg father for a summer which you can get with a single pin or add a block which you can mount a stack of pins on. Thought it was just a little heavy, but I see they came out with another model that is compatible and lighter.

HHA Optimizer lite looks good. Simple, lite, tool-free, .010 or .019 pin, not $300. Worth it to drop the coin on something better? What's "better"?

If anyone is looking to buy a SPott HOgg 5 Pin real deal let me know.. I have an extra that Im trying to sell - bought brand new in fall of 2015 and only in the field 4 times..

I just (this week) got the 3 Pin Re-act from Trophy Ridge for $180 on Amazon).

I as well like that I can have set pins for quick shooting. It was easy to install, was pretty quick to get sighted in, and I love how easy it is to adjust.

I have to say, that coming from a 5 Pin, I can tell the weight difference.

I have shot it out to 80 yards and it is as advertised so far.

I will only be able to shoot out to 110 yards, below that I will have issues with the fletching hitting the sight housing.

Picked up an HHA Optimizer Lite with .019" pin and larger sight window and some other bells and whistles. $100 used. Seems to work pretty slick in my garage.
