New sight suggestions????

The #1 feature (aside from quality) that I would recommend is the micro adjust  - you'll never go back.

Thanks Lowe I'll keep my eyes open this summer... there's no way I could afford one now going to school...  But I don't think I'll be opposed to either the "Real Deal" or the "Hunter Hogg It".  Thanks for the help guys it really saves me a lot of hassle!!!

I have another vote for a 5 pin over 7 also.  Mine is a 5 pin and is a bit busy.  I am going to maybe start shooting just using one pin.

Thanks Mark, its hard not to get caught up in getting the "Latest and greatest" type stuff... thats why I'm open to some of the other Hogg It sights and other good brands.  5 Pins is more than I'll ever need I'm sure.  Also would you guys suggest the .019 pins for the top 2 or 3 pins and the .010 pins for the bottom 2 pins?  Seems like that has been pretty popular.  However I believe most ppl are going with the .019 because they are brighter, but this shouldn't be a problem with the pin wraps so I'm leaning towards all .010 pins...  What do you think?  Thanks

I replaced my trophy ridge inline sight with a Spot Hogg micro adjust 5 pin with .010 pins.  Shoot much better with this sight, but I personally don't like the micro adjust and don't have a need for it.  I'm not too sure that mine worked correctly out of the box, and with it coming from a small archery shop in Montana, I doubt I'll be back anytime soon ask.  Personally, I see no need for 7 pins.  Glad to see others that also agree with this being a great sight.

MtnMuley, you can write or call Spot Hogg with any questions you may have. They are very interested in your satisfaction and will welcome your questions. I have found a call, rather than writing, gets an answer faster.

Perhaps I am biased after struggling with so much junk in the past. I am a Hogg consumer! Got the Whammy rest and B-Stinger stabilizer too.

Ive got a 7 pin hog with the wrap and light and love it.  .19 pins.  Ive seen the .10 pins get halo's.

No pins - instinctive shooting.  Instantaneous shots but you are limited to about 35 yards.  For those of us who like a challenge - old school.

Maybe with a trad bow lol...  Something about no sights on a compound for a challenge just seems contradicting to me.  I've made my own long bows before and really enjoy shooting traditional, but until I become an extremely successful bow hunter will I ever switch to traditional gear.

WDFWsux, wouldn't the "halo's" be dependent on ones own vision or am I thinking of something totally different?

vision and light.. Ive got perfect vision but somthing about the .10 is too bright sometimes.  Its not a big deal I just like the 19's better but if you ask 100 guys you might get 50 different answers.

Check them out in person see what you think. Oh and stay away form the blue pins they suck.

[MichaelJ]

Good to know thanks...  I'll see if I can't find a dealer somewhere and go check them out.

try to look at them in sunlight or real low light thats where you will see the halo..

Uncle Ted used to shoot his old Oneida Screaming Eagle instinctive.  He was a damn good shot that way too.  He did use a release though.

The only time I have had issues with pin brightness is when strong sunlight is striking fully into the front of the site (facing into the afternoon sun).

This is the only time I have had to use the light to properly see the pins!

I have been using the .010 wrapped pins for a year under all lighting conditions, including fog, snow, rain, dusk, morning and afternoon light with ambient light coming from all directions and never seen the "halo" referred too in the above posts.

Just my experience.
