Title: What sight do you hunt with & why?
Post by: Dr. Death on May 20, 2013, 01:14:07 PM
Curious on what sight you hunt with & why?

I have used Spot Hogg Hunter 7 pin in the past with .019 pins. Been shooting CBE Tek hunter with 5 .010 pins this year. I seem to like the smaller pins and ability to move to long ranges easy with the CBE.

Your setup?

No sights I hunt mostly with a long bow.  That said I do have a shiny new Alpine Verdict for those hunts were my stick bow is a serious disadvantage.  For the sight I chose the spot tommy hogg.  Why some top rate archers recommended it.  In fact it just arrived today and now I am trying to figure out how it works :chuckle:

Once again there are many good sights out there. My preference after using many is the Black Gold Ascent 3 pin mover sight. I think it is the perfect hunting sight. THe top two pins are .019 at 20 and 30 yards and the 40 yard pin is an .010.  So for hunting Elk in the rut I would not plan on moving the sight. But then if I am hunting Mule deer at longer distances I can dial up that 3rd pin all the way out to 100 yards if I want to.

Works great for me.

Trophy Ridge Hit Man 7 - Micro. Good protection in  the ring for hunting heavy brush. Have yet to have any fibers break like i have with 2 other  Spott Hogg's.

I put an HHA Optimizer Ultra on my bow last year. It has the dial vs the vertical adjustment on the regular Optimizer.It's a single pin. Multiple pins are great, but I've had viability issues with multiple pins and I always have to guess when shooting in between pins anyway. The HHA is adjustable by 1 yard increments and I have it dialed in to deadly accurate at 70 yards (in a controlled environment). I would never shoot at game from that distance, but with this single pin from 40-50 yards in the field, I'll never go back to multi-pin.

:yeah:
In 14 or so years, after falling on in on the ice several times, after dragging it through brush so that a snake has to suck in it's belly, after dropping it 6 feet while coming out of my treestand, I have never had to make an adjustment or re-sight it in.  I can leave my bow in the barn all winter long and the first shot I take of the year, no matter what distance, my Spot Hogg is dead on!  I had a 7-DP but thought it was overkill and sold it.   I can't see myself buying a different brand.  I did have a trophy Ridge in line pin site on a back up bow, shot it a couple of times and hated it so much that I sold it on e-bay.  Yep, only Spot Hogg for this guy.

7 pin gold rush would prefer the 5 pin (wonder if I could remove one or two)

Like the pin variable lighting, and line the protected fiber.
Most of all liked the price.

Spot Hogg 5 pin hunter Hogg it with wrap.  I have also used black fold but it was a rattle trap.  I couldn't get past the noise.
Title: Re: What sight do you hunt with & why?
Post by: RS on July 23, 2013, 05:19:10 PM
1.Single pin, because I have a short attention span and can only focus on one thing at a time.
2.The smallest diameter possible, because it makes me feel better about myself.
3.Slider, because Im not good enough to "gap pins" and I cant estimate yardage so I have to range everything.
4.SureLoc, cause I have been this uncool since before the pig speck brand even made a single pin slider.

On a serious note, those are my preferences in a sight, maybe or maybe not for those exact reasons. Those CBE Tec Hunters spec'ed as noted above do look nice...

Armortech! Because I shot Spot Hogg for years and I wanted an upgrade! 
I also shoot Sure-Loc sliders.  Because sometimes rabbits at 100 yards just need a good thumping!


I have fought target panic since '85.  Most of the time I have it well controlled and have no problem using the five pin sight.  But some years it seems to get the best of me and a single pin slider helps keep it manageable.  All my ground blind bows have sliders regardless of whether I'm having a bad year or not.

Hogg 7 pin with the .10's.  Couldn't be happier for a hunting sight.  I have a Boss Hogg 5 pin that I can get 230+ yds out of, but that's just a fun shooting sight.  Damn hard to beat the Spot Hoggs period. :twocents:

Looking at a new sight and I would like opinions on the Alpha V5 micro.  I like the idea of vertical pins but never shot em.  Pros and cons?

It's between that one and the Black Gold Vengeance which I've shot before and loved it.

Currently have a fuse carbon 3 pin and do not like it.

Either will be a great improvement over the Fuse, but both fall short in quality to the Pig Spot or TruBall.  Most of my family shoots the Trophy Ridge vertical.  Nothing wrong with it other than it's huge!  Brother and Nephew together shoot about a dozen east coast whitetails per year with them.   I've only tried the Vengeance once and the one I had rattled to beat heck and was ugly as sin.  That was enough for me.  But again...WAY better than the fuse!
