IQ Micro Retina Lock 7 pin
« on: December 30, 2013, 08:42:37 PM »
Any body ever use or have used this sight? I currently shoot an HHA single pin for coastal rosies but would rather use a multiple pin sight for some east side late season mulies and was curious on the IQ Micro.

Heres a link to some more info on the sight...im just looking for some more reviews. Thanks!

I put one of those retina loc type things (no peep)on my last bow and loved it.  Unfortunately, my new bow wasn't shaped quite right to reuse it.  I've thought about this sight but can't justify the cost.

I am sure you will like it.  The retina loc really helps let you know if you are twisting the bow.

 I looked into getting one and watched a video on installation . One thing that I found odd is you draw your bow and adjust the bubble to the middle of the circle at install. My question was who is to say your bow is drawn perfect that first time ? What if you have a little torq or twist ?  Adjust the bubble & then you are drawing the same way forever.  Maybe I was missing something ? I assumed it was machined perfectly and when mounted would make you square up but adjusting the bubble seems to defeat that idea. Let me know.

The one I had had two set screws on it like a laser site.  Since everyone draws and holds slightly differently, the idea is to attempt to draw and hold in your normal, "perfect" technique, then adjust the "bubble" to as close to center as possible.  With continued shooting, you can then fine tune the retina lock feature.  The idea is to set the retina lock so that you draw and hold the bow the exact same each time, once that occurs, then you set your site pins.

If I had the money to buy a new sight right now, I would buy one of these, though I think 7 pins would be too many for me.  It is not that hard to adjust the "eye" and it has several benefits like not having to worry about a peep tube breaking, or the snappy noise it makes, or water in the peep, or it being too dark for the peep, and it is really nice for showing you when your form is slightly differnet from usual.

Good luck with whatever you choose and good shooting.
