I saw one on a bow for the first time the other day and compared it side by side to my Spot Hogg without it and the difference was well worth converting over!!!!

Not trying to be a smart ass but .019 is bigger than .010. I have an Apex 4 pin sight that has .019 for the top 2 pins and .01 for the bottom 2. The smaller pins are nice for target at the longer distances but for hunting I prefer the bigger pins as they are a little brighter.

Post by: Drifterat on September 20, 2010, 06:43:58 PM: I too have the SDP. The wrap is bright. I wish I would have ordered with .010 bottom 3 pins. In the summer or shooting in full sunlight I find that putting some black vinyl tape around it really helps with long range practice.

Also for a sight in this price range would it be too much to use quality stainless hardware? I hate how they rust...

Post by: elkslare on October 02, 2010, 02:50:10 PM: There is a huge difference in my opinion. :twocents: It made the the difference in getting my elk this year. because they are that much brighter. the other thing I like about it, it makes it a wider sight and protects your fiber optics on your pins. My son has the 5 pin and he has had problems with twigs hitting the fibers and pulling them out. :bash:

Post by: D-Rock425 on October 04, 2010, 07:59:21 AM: I put one on both my bows. It gives your pins a little extra protection too.

Post by: halflife65 on October 04, 2010, 08:50:01 AM: The Hogg Wrap is an absolute must. I bought the SDP a few years ago and went to Montana where we were getting after it every day (REALLY long days). I busted ALL of the fiber optics out of the sight and ended up down in town part way through one of the days to get new fiber optics. When I got home I promptly ordered the Hogg Wrap and it hasn't happened again.

Before I went to Montana I happened to be in Boise and went to Cabelas. Cameron Hanes was in there (just a coincidence) signing books and had his bow there. I was there right when they opened and hardly anyone was there yet so I got to spend a couple of minutes bs'ing him. He had the Hogg Wrap and said that without it you'll bust off the fiber optics. I should've listened and bought it before I went on my hunt.

It makes the pins much brighter, as well.
