I run a option 4 from trophy taker/ option archery. I have 3 fixed pins and one slider. The 3 fixed pivot out of the way if I only want to use my slider. Great sight and very durable in my opinion. It is on the expensive side however.

I absolutely love my HHA.  It is not exactly the cheapest but it is an amazing sight, easy to tune in and deadly accurate at 80 yards.  What I love most about this is that you can use your range finder, smoothly and quickly turn the knob to that yardage and send it.  No need to write down pin distances in case you forget or have the distraction of multi-pin.

just under $200 at amazon.  Like it more than my old spot hog multi-pin. A LOT more.

2 votes for HHA sights.  I however use the optimizer lite.  Once sighted in these sights are money.

What is your favorite method of hunting? Treestand? Calling in bulls? Clearcuts or open spaces? I strongly believe your site should fit your technique.

Treestand: single pin slider might be for you, ample time to adjust sight and you most likely already know how far your prey stands when you see it. better sight picture here for the shot.

Calling 'em in: i prefer multiple pins cuz you never know how close they will be and whether you'll have time or not to adjust but a single pin slider could work here as well.

Still hunting: Definitely go with multiple pins, most of my shots still hunting happen so quick, I usually feel I don't have time to adjust.

Also, make every attempt to get that sight as far away from your eye as you comfortably can. I started with a sight that was short and tight to my bow. After replacing with a longer sight and pushing it away from my eye, my precision improved noticeably.

I would also suggest, that if you choose a multi pin sight that you carry an extra pin in your supplies of each color in your sight in case you break one off or lose one in brush. Fix the lost pin with the same color that was there before. After years of shooting a bow, when i draw back on an animal at 50 yards, my brain already knows through muscle memory that i use the yellow pin, don't have to count down which sight to use. In time, it becomes one less thing you gotta think about and calculate.

I have lost a pin once, replaced with wrong color (all I had) and when I'd draw back, something so simple threw me off just a bit, but hey, i'm no pro. Just keep it comfortable and simple as you can. I don't like single pin sliders, personally, cuz that means I need to account for 3 things to shoot instead of 2 (range, adjust, shoot versus range & shoot).

Spot Hogg, Black Gold and HHA make some great sights but there other options too.  My spot hogg has taken a beating and been great to me so I doubt Ill switch from them.

Switched to a 3 pin last year, less confusion.  Love my Spot Hogg Fast Eddie.  You can even have pin color changed or change them yourself.  I did the latter and now run .019 red, .019 green, .01 red.  Set them at 20, 50 and 60.

Has anyone tried the axcel armortech HD 7 pin sight? Looking to upgrade my sights on my bow. I really enjoy my trophy ridge react 5 pin. But also looking to do some farther 3D shoots up to 80-100 yards. Still use this bow for hunting mule deer as well. Just curious if anyone has tried this sight. I appreciate any info all, thank you and happy fourth of July week!

My backup bow has the 5 pin version. They're a solid sight and my favorite for a fixed pin. 7 pins just end up being more than I like to sort through and I prefer to dial anything much past 60 yards. If you don't have a problem with the extra pins in the sight picture I'd say go for it.

I've got a MBG ascent 5 pin slider collecting dust that I'd be willing to part with 8).

 I've gone to 3 pin sliders. 30,40,50. Inside 30 hold on the heart with the 30 pin. Top of the back with the 50 pin at 60 yards. So essentially I've got a 20-60 (same as I ran my 5 pins) but without the extra clutter. Past 60 and I dial. Never had an issue with more pins, I just can't ever leave stuff alone :chuckle:

I bought the black gold ascent verdict 3 pin slider yesterday. Playing around with it in the house & mounting it on the bow I really like it.  It seems like a really well built piece.  Going to the range in the morning to start dialing it in

I would say best site for the money might have to be the MBG Rush. You can get them for $100 new and cheaper used. 3 or 5 pins, set it and forget it. 100% no questions asked warranty to boot

Hard to beat an HHA, single pin.  Great elk killing set up.
