Looking at a new sight and I would like opinions on the Alpha V5 micro.  I like the idea of vertical pins but never shot em.  Pros and cons?
It's between that one and the Black Gold Vengeance which I've shot before and loved it.
Currently have a fuse carbon 3 pin and do not like it.

Either will be a great improvement over the Fuse, but both fall short in quality to the Pig Spot or TruBall.  Most of my family shoots the Trophy Ridge vertical.  Nothing wrong with it other than it's huge!  Brother and Nephew together shoot about a dozen east coast whitetails per year with them.   I've only tried the Vengeance once and the one I had rattled to beat heck and was ugly as sin.  That was enough for me.  But again...WAY better than the fuse!
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."

Armortech! Because I shot Spot Hogg for years and I wanted an upgrade! 

What is this Amortech you speak of? ;)  My Spot Hogg Hunter Hogg It has been bullet proof and the microadjustability is awesome.

I might get a slider for my backup bow to play around with.

X3.

I have the top 3 pins in .019 and bottom 3 is .010.  I don't use the 7th pin, yet.  I do want to upgrade from the wrapped 7DP to the Hogg it site eventually.

Black gold acent 4 pin DIAL OF DEATH. The sight is a killer.... Tough, bright, and let's you stretch out to 130 yards while practicing. I guess spott Hoggs are ok ;-) but I like my acent better than my SDP

I tried to like my black gold sight but it had too much "shake, RATTLE, and roll" going on.  I still have it but it is on my backup bow.

Custom 7 pin Black Gold Vengence with 6 inch dovetail. But I will say Spott Hogg makes an ok sight. Lol. Most of the sights made today are quality sights.
