good sight, almost as good as a Spott-Hogg.

Ebay I have looked at for the sight I want, a Black Gold 5 or 7 pin "ignite" or "flashpoint". Currently have an older BG "montana"
I have the flashpoint and love it. Tonight, right at the end of legal shooting hours in the timber my pins were still glowing nice and bright.

I ended up going with the TT Pronghorn for my new bow.  I'll tell ya how I really like it after a few weeks of slinging arrows with it.

There is a local dealer that sells Toxonics sights. There just as pricey as the Ignite and flashpoint. Anyone have a review of this brand?
God Bless,

I paid less than a hundred bucks for my trophy taker extreme and it works good on my captain.  I had the rest you speak of and had no complaints.  I did see one similiar to the qad called the ripcord which I personally would prefer because of the design.  I also seen the ignite and holy @#$t what a sweet sight that is and would have bought it instead of the sword if it was just a wee bit cheaper.  The qad sat too low on my captain and the dropaway portion made a snap sound when it hit the riser.  The allegiance had the clearance and so do most other bows.  There are 2 different prongs for the qad and only one of them allows the clearance under the crossbar to allow use of high profile flethings or feathers.  I pulled out the bar when I noticed the problem and it worked just fine.  It is a great design for keeping your arrow ready but shop around, it seems the prices have alot of variances from store to store.

The difference i see between an expensive rest, over a 100 bucks, and a not so expensive rest 50-60 is the adustment ease.  I have a TT Pronghorn and love it.  Cant be it for the price.

That seems to be the true difference right there...  And also, THE NAME!  Your paying for the name at some point or another...

I've only shot a handful of different kinds.  I'm using a Trophy Taker ExtremeFX Angled Slot.  It's been great... would buy another.

spot-hogg makes a good sight no doubt, but nothing is as bright as the ignite, not to mention the fact it automatically adjusts the pin brightness

I'm surprised no Limb Driver rest were suggested. Its the most accurate rest I have used in 25 years of shooting Archery. Vapor Trail makes it. Its has no effect on timing or letoff on your bow. Like the Whammy and Trophytaker rests do. Goggle it I think you'll like them.
No if ands or Buts just Maybee.

just picked up a limbsaver elite. Have it on the bow and went out in the backyard in the woods early in the morning and I was impressed on how bright it was. i really like it :twocents:
