Title: New Sights
Post by: Hoyt204 on August 08, 2008, 09:46:02 PM: I am in the market for some new sights for my bow. My current sights took some damage do to a move and are cracked now. What I am looking for is a .019, 5 pin sight around the $80-$120 range. I have been looking at truglo but if anyone has a sugestion please let me know.

Thanks,
Adam

My step brother had it on his mathews and really liked it. I have been very happy with it. I had a spot hogg before and it was a pain to work with. The Black Gold it very easy to adjust. I sighted in my 20yd pin and the others, 30, 40, and 50 were dead on. I like that it is pretty simple and enclosed. The guy were I bought it liked the dead nutz.

I had a small issue with mine so I called Spot Hogg at 4pm on Friday to ask some questions. Talked to a guy named Josh. He answered my question and even offered to give me his cell # in case I had any more questions over the weekend. Pretty good customer service if you ask me.

I have several different spot hogg sigths myself but the one I use most is the Sever Deadly Pins. The hunter hogg it sight is great for those who want to be super precise because it has 2nd and 3rd axis adjustments to level up that sight and make sure it's aligned perfectly square to the bow. Go check em' out! www.spot-hogg.com

I have a spot hogg and love it, but if you get one you need to go with the wrap.It makes a huge difference in light gathering. I actually bought a tru glo a month ago and really like the sight, wrap, 5 pin,.019, and camo for 69.00. I ended up putting the spot hogg on my spare bow and will hunt with the tru-glo this year. I will eventualy get the wrap upgrade for my hogg and put it back on my Hunting bow. The tru-glo will get you by but the spot hogg is the way to go for sure. Get the wrap though. A regular pinned sight sucks when compared to a wrap!
