sweet picture.  love the bow cam just sitting in the water.
Those old laminated Hoyt limbs are pretty dang hard to beat.  That sight is an old Harry Hamm 5 pin.  It was a great sight.  Very similar to the Sure-Loc Lethal Weapon of today.  Not many people used them because they were too expensive...$68.99!!  I've kept that sight locked away in a safe place.  Just in case I ever decided to get in the sight business it would be the basis for design ideas.

Thats an amazing/cool story. I also like it that u got it with an old bow like that.  I think it would very cool to have and hunt with an old compound.  Its cool to think that an older bow like that was in a magazine one day talking about its state-of-the-art characteristics and stuff. Thanks for the story

That's not an old bow to me! :chuckle:  Only real difference between that bow and those of today is the brace height, grip diameter and limb length.  If this were my thread I'd go on and on about how great that bow was/is.  I've been thinking of bringing it out of retirement this year.

I've been shooting one of those Trophy Taker sights. They're not cheap but are built solid and are well designed. The housing does NOT have to be flipped back to adjust the sliding pin but it does make things less cluttered for shooting longer distances. Depending on how far you want to shoot and not have to use holdover with the single pin will help you decide what housing to use but the with the standard housing you could dial it out to 80 or 90 yards pretty easily. I got one of the 6 pin versions in the oblong housing so I can use it for practicing out further but the nice thing is my 20-60 yard pins never change with it like the multi pin sliders do. Lots of cool sights out there these days that can get you going a long ways out there with out having to use 7 pins and dealing with all that clutter in your sight.

I recently got a mbg 4 pin slider and love it. Nice to have fixed pins from 20-50 but still be able to shoot 100yds or longer with the same sight. I love not having all the extra pins.

I have both a two pin MBG and just got a four pin version and dove tail. This is the best of both worlds  :tup:

Recently put a spot Hogg seven pin on my Hoyt and really wish I had gone with the single pin. To much clutter with the seven pins.
