easiest sight I've ever had to sight in. built rock solid too, protected pin filaments for a brush buster like me, great bell design on sight housing.
....most accurate sight and fine tune adjustments, Made In USA.

I looked up the Axcel and would really like to get one but I am stuck getting someting from Cabelas where I have the points to get one. They do not have the Axcel :( I was looking at the Spot Hog's and the Trophy Ridge ones there.
Cabelas will do special orders for items they don't have listed in their catalogs. I once special ordered an Eberlestock backpack through Cabelas because I had a gift card I wanted to use, and Cabelas did not have Eberlestock packs. There is no extra cost and I know at least in my case, the price was the same as it would have been anywhere else.
Look here: http://www.cabelas.com/special-orders.shtml

I would go with a Spot Hogg over the Trophy Ridge. Bomb proof sights for the backcountry. I have a Montana Black Gold myself.
Have you run both sights? I have and as much as I like the guys at spot hogg. I have had 2 out of 3 of there sites break "in the back country" Mainly from crawling threw thick brush. A stick or something gets inside the sight housing and snaps one or a couple of those nice little fiber optic cables. I own 9 different sights right now and the only one that I have not had fail yet is the my trophy ridge stuff. So I was wondering if this was just based on ideas or if you have had both in the field? Just wondering why you would think spot hogg over trophy ridge. I always like to hear feed back. If you have used them and think that spot hogg is better or have had trophy ridge problems. I would love to hear about it. I can help with that problem by giving feedback to the design team at the company :tup:

I have had fibers break on my trophy ridge and seen them broke on a spot hogg, spot hogg now offers the armor pins also.
What model? I shoot the vertical pins. They are almost impossible to break. Trust me I know from use :chuckle: the spot hogg sites have a lot more exposed stuff. If they are the armor model I am sure it would more then 150 :chuckle:

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?

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.
Post by: Fullabull on March 08, 2012, 10:13:07 AM
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 :bash:

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!

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.
