This is my first time shooting a single pin site with this much adjustability and all the while seemingly being bomb proof. No rattling at all thus far. Just have to make sure dovetail is adjusted with the set screw tightened down in one of the grooves just right (in my experience). I will admit that having a 2nd and third axis is new to me for sure and I'm digging it BUT I may need the help of a shop to lazer center the site with the arrow etc to find the bow's center shot. The single pin sight has been a huge game changer for me... I would get anxious looking at my 5pin sight and with the Hogg Father single pin I'm staying mor relaxed. We'll see what happens come hunting season and if I can remember to change the range I'll be good
wow 127yards. dont think I could see a little target like that at that distance

That was my problem with a one pin. They really help the concentration level for accuracy and in my backyard I was shootin like a pro, but adding another step for range adjustment in a hunting situation made me go back to a fixed multi pin. Maybe one day ill try the tommy.
Just for fun I looked up that sight and found the price to be in excess of $300. For a sight! Holy crap, does it come with a jar of Grey Poupon?

No sorry, it does come with a 4-pack sampler, including a coarse French, standard yellow, Bavarian sweet and Dijon.On a more serious note - wow that's a lot of money! For $150 you can get a great sight
I'm certain I'll never pay that kind of money for a bow accessory but it would be fun to try out that level of equipment just to see what I'm missing.

For $150 you can get a great sight It's all relative. It depends how much performance you demand of your equipment. Are you they type of archer that shoots their bow from august-September and doesn't see the useful justification in a top of the line sight? Or do you shoot every day and demand your set up to be micro adjustable in ways most people will never consider useful? I love the Hogg Father for its adjustability and durability. Sure, there are other sights that are durable. But you won't be able to dial it for 78.5 yards. You'll be trying to split your 70 and 80 yard pins and hoping it's close. In a hunting application, this would probably work just fine to be able to kill. Also, name a sight that gives your repeatable (accurate) results at ranges past 100 yards. For me, that's worth the money. Practicing at 130 yards, makes a 70 yard shot, a chip shot. My confidence under 80-90 yards is 95% that I can make a kill shot on any big game animal, because my sight allows me to practice at much farther distances. Is that kind of confidence in your equipment worth $350 to you? Some people yes, others no.
