Love my Spot Hogg.  Wish I'd gotten micro-adjust though.

Spot Hogg is the only sight that will be on any of my bows!  If I can fall on the ice and have my almost 300 lb carcass drive my Spot Hogg into the ground not once but several times and it not break or tweak at all, that is the one I will stick with.

I bought mine new from The Two Morrows Supply:

http://twomorrowssupply.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=SH-HI&Category_Code=Spot-Hogg

Bill Morrow is a straight shooter and at the time (last year) he had the best prices hands down. Mine was special ordered from the factory and shipped direct to my house.

I played with the old brass pins and two other new sights including the Apex Gear Nitros (.019 pins). The combination of being able to make an adjustment and then return the pin and/or housing to its original position, the fine aiming points and excellent levelling adjustments have moved my maximum practice from 40 yards to 60 and reduced the amount of hair I was pulling from my head. I would practice at a further range but ran out of pins (only shooting 240 fps).

Struggle with your old sight and focus on grip position, hand/release position, sight picture, release control and follow through until you can afford a Hogg...any Hogg.

Nothing but straight dope here.

Good to know guys... I'll be making very good money this summer and plan on picking up a new sight with my first paycheck...  What benefit is the "wrap" on a sight?  Things have sure gotten more complicated than when I first started shooting 6 years ago!

I would ideally like to pick up a Hogg used... $240+ (if I go with .010 pins and a wrap) is a lot of money for a sight.  However I compare it to a rifle scope or a pair of binos, buy quality the first time and forget about worrying...  We'll see if I pull the trigger or not.  Thanks again you guys are great

I switched to a Trophy Ridge inline sight, it does seem to give more view than some of the others mentioned above.

I hear tons of good things about Spot Hogs but I think they kinda spendy. I really like my Black Gold Flashpoint. I can't remember what I paid for it though. I think it was around $100 bucks.

Guy on AT selling NEW Spot Hogg - Hogg it Hunter's 7 deadly pins for $229 with wrap and I can get .010 pins.... talk about tempting!
Also got a chance to read 15+ reviews of the Real Deal and Right On Spot Hogg sights... and even though they're a little cheaper, they are getting just as good reviews as the Hogg It.
Real Deal with seven deadly pins in .010 and wrap to my door: $189.37
Right on with above combination: $167.54

Phool, just took a look at your Trophy Ridge inlines, look like very nice sight except I would really enjoy something with the .010 pins...

I bought a top o the line Trophy Ridge when they first came out, shot it a few times and then sold it on e-bay for more than I payed for it.  I didn't like it at all.

The "wrap" is fiber optic material wrapped around the sight housing.
Older "fiber optic sights" only had a short piece of fiber mounted inside the pin and did not gather as much ambient light.

I forgot to mention, if you have any questions you can e-mail or phone Bill. He'll get right back to you.

Keep watching AT!  I got my Hunter Hogg It with wrap for $175 to my door and have seen them go for a lot less than that.  Gotta be quick though!  Smiley

The kill is the satisfying, indeed essential, conclusion to a successful hunt. But, I take no pleasure in the act itself. One does not hunt in order to kill, but kills in order to have hunted. Then why do I hunt? I hunt for the same reason my well-fed cat hunts...because I must, because it is in the blood, because I am the decendent of a thousand generations of hunters. I hunt because I am a hunter.- Finn Aagard

The wrap for the spot hogg makes the pins much brighter, and worth the extra cheese, seven pins are a little busy for my taste 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80?   I would go with the Spot hogg hunter model 5 pins, unless you plan on being one heck of a shot. The nice things about the spot hogg is the adjustments, and very well built.
