I've been a Spot Hogg shooter for 10+ years without any complaints. You can't go wrong with one. But since you asked , my favorite sight is the Hogg Father single red .010"

My favorite bowsight is the one covering up the vitals on a big muledeer :chuckle:

I killed my first animal using a sight  when using just map tacks pushed into a big eraser.  Killed it pretty dead too!  So all the sights out there will work.  But, when you want a combination of durability, adjustability and repeatability those three get my highest marks.
First two years I bow hunted I didn't even have a sight.  I had an old Fred Bear Whitetail, xx75's, and some old dull two blade broadheads.  Killed a deer and an elk with that setup.  I could hit a pie plate every shot at 40's.  Good times! (for the record, I do not recommend this setup) :chuckle:
It is foolish and wrong to mourn these men.  Rather, we should thank god that such men lived.  -General George S. Patton

Gen 2 sabo from tactical archery systems.  A bit over price range, but will add a new element to your game.  Eliminates bow torque and super fun to shoot, especially with lighted nocks.

I used to have a hit man 7 on my old bow. Great sight for the price.

Spot Hogg SDP, I've shot several different companies sights over the years and I chose this over the Axcel.  Both were great sights so I wont knock the Axcel Hd, just made a choice and have nothing to complain about.

Spott Hogg? Its out of your price range which is why I didn't mention it.  Its the hunter 7 pin, cameran hanes edition.

:yeah:
A little more money but well worth it.  I went with the pins that get smaller in diameter as you move down the line.  .029 top two pins, .019 next three pins and .010 for the last pins and staggered the colors, green, red, yellow, green, yellow, red, green.  Works great for me.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

I'm still waiting on a response to this post.  Sure looks like a nice unit when I checked it out online.

Depending on the Hunting I own two sights. Black Gold Ascent 3 pin adjustable and the Axcell Armortech 5 pin pro. Don't see changing any time soon.

Probably no response just because of who is asking  :chuckle:

Actually the IQ series are an adaptation of my favorite fixed pin sights - Sure-Loc.  This is a dang good sight!  Nice pins, great adjustment, just the right amount of brightness and tough.  The Retina Lock is a nice improvement to Jim Sherman's patented design.  For those with the patience to get accustom to it...it works fine.  If you decide you don't like the Retina Lock you can always ignore it.  Or if you decide you want a dove tail version you can get nearly the same sight with a fantastic dove tail by purchasing a Sure-Loc Leathal Weapon fixed pin.  Which is also available with Retina Lock.

No kidding, eh? :chuckle:

I need to check these thing out in person.  They sure look nice and I get tired of using allen wrenches for imprecise adjustments.
