So I guess my old martin 5 Pin with painted pins is a little obsolete? Even though I can still put 5 out of 5 in a golf ball sized bulls eye at 30 yards.

Careful not to break arrows or rip fletching doing that

I am a real fan of the multi-pin mover sight like the Montana Black Gold ascent sight. I have a 3 pin mover and it is nice to not have a cluttered sight picture and for the western hunter I think its perfect. if you need longer yardages for say like on a Mule deer hunt than you can dial it out a bit to be confident at those longer distances. But for hunting Elk in the rut 3 pins is more than enough.

To answer your question I think the higher price offers you more flexibility. Not to mention good quality, bright pins and very customizable.

Just my 2  :twocents:

So for between $80 and $150 what is your favorite sight that has micro adjust, 5 pin, wrapped and small pins? I've always wanted smaller pins.
That's the same criteria I had when I was looking for a sight recently and I ended up buying the Trophy Ridge Hit Man.  I bought the 7-pin but they have a 5-pin too.  It's a great sight for me and very durable, which is also important to me.

I think it is well worth the money to have microadjusting.  There are few things more frustrating than unclamping to move a gnats a$$ and slipping.

I have the armortech and love it.
How long til elk season?!??

Imo black gold is the best, they have the brightest pins and best warranty.  I never was a fan of the way the pins moved in my spot hogg sights.  You get what you pay for with archery gear.

I have a couple MBG's, one a Vengeance custom. For your price range check the TruGlo Rival Hunter. I have one and it has micro and toolless (for windage and elevation), pins are still allen wrench and manual slide. Even comes with a light and the pins are graduated .029"-.010". About $130.

I switched a few years ago to a 4 pin mover and have been very happy. Mine is a mbg ascent.
