Need advice on new sight

[wrongway]

Axcel all the way, shot Spot Hogg for a long time and like someone else sais they brake. Axcels fibers are all inclosed so you cant brake one off.

Oh an btw you can buy the spot hogg as is and have the armor pins put it later.

As well with the Axcel sight you can order any pin color you would like to have, I have all green on my target sight.

i am very happy with my tru-glo tool-less 5 pin.

It was the "crazy 8" vertical pin

Yeah I bought one as soon as they came out. I thought I would really like it but I could not get use to shooting the oval sight housing and the gap between the top 4 and bottom 4. It works for some people but I like my five pin sights better. They are not doing the crazy 8 anymore. I had mine for a few months and sold it and got another 5 pin TR sight. Was it the outside fiber optic on the first outside pins?

I shoot the montana black gold 7 pin on one bow and the axis on the other both are well protected sights.
both easy to adjust..good luck in your hunt for a new sight

Axcel armortech hd. Do some shopping on the net you can find them for $160ish.

I shoot a hogg and my old man has the armortech. When I replace mine I wont look at anything but the armortech.

So I'm looking at the Trophy Ridge Hitman 5 pin or the Armortech HD 5 pin. The later being $70 more then the TR 

The TR looks like it would work just fine but what I do not like is the plastic being held on the frame by a screw. I have seen in the past where the plastic weekens and then cracks under the screw pressure.

The Armortech does not have this, the plastic is housed within the frame. And the fibers are all internal which is nice.

Hard decision due to the price difference 

[Button Nubbs]

Buy once, cry once... you will never need another sight after the armortech.

There should not be any problems with the trophy Ridge stuff there is 1000's of those sites out there. If something goes wrong they would fix it. I would not count on anything going wrong

[throttlejocky20]

Quality = $$$$$ Would you by a optics because of the price. But with that said the trophy ridge is a nice sight.

[carpsniperg2]

Yeah they have sights from 50 to 200. Its just about what fits each person. I just got all my new gear for 2012 and I am running the vertical pins like always. Mine is the micro alpha v5.

OK...Went with the Armortech because Cabelas had it for 10 bucks off plus 20 more for orders over 150. So I got it for 169 and they gave me free shipping 

Sorry Carpsniperg, I did like the Hitman sight but was having a hard time getting past the gap between the front and the back of the site. The thick brush here in WA seems to get in everything on a bow and just didn't want to take the chance with that. If it was solid from front to back I would have gone with that one.

Thanks for everyones responses and help!

LOL you don't have to say sorry to me LOL

I am trying to figure out what spot you are talking about on the site. Is there anyway you can copy a picture and open it in paint and mark the area you are talking about. Since I staff for them I have a direct line into the company and can provide feed back to make things better for the people that think things might be a problem and eliminate any worry that might be had.

[Fullabull]

Lets see if this works...You can see the gap between the front and rear of the site housing. I supose it's to let more light on the fibers but I think it might let to many twigs in between that could hit the pins. Otherwise I love the site.
