Adjustable vs fixed sight

[nwhunter]

I got a new bow and need to buy a sight for it and am leaning towards an adjustable sight system.. I like the idea of a two or three pin setup for the typical 30-50 yard shots but also the capability of adjusting for longer range shots. I have had fixed pin sights forever from 5-7 pins but less clutter seems appealing especially with older eyes.. I have been looking at spott hogg, montana gold and trophy ridge as they seem to be the top brands with slide systems. They definitely aren't cheap.. Before I spend the money I would like to hear some input..
Thanks

I have the MGB Ascent three pin. Love it and never looked back. Have a 20,30, and 40 pin. After that I use the dial.

HHA is another big name in the sliding sight world. I love my single pins, no clutter and a better sight picture. I have a Spot Hogg fast Eddie and a Truglo range rover both are great. If I was doing it over I would get the dual pin fast Eddie but it came out after I already bought a single. Changing from a five pin I tightened group up so much I fear damaging my arrows.

I switched two years back from a 5 pin to a Spot Hogg - Tommy Hog with single post and two pins.  I really like it.  I don't think you can really go wrong with any of the larger named manufacturers.  In my opinion Spot Hogg makes some bomb proof stuff and I silly enough to pay that kind of money for good gear.  Best of luck in your search.

Thanks guys your making me feel better about giving it a try..

I think a lot of it depends on the style of hunting you do.  Tree stand guys usually have more time to take shots.  For me, between the elk and deer I have killed with my bow, I dont think I ever had time to adjust a sight before taking a shot.  Seems like they are all, now or never shots.

I agree that's why the single pin adjustable never appealed to me but with the 2 or 3 pin adjustable it seems like you get the best of both worlds. Pins are set for your normal 30-50 yard shots where things can happen in a hurry and are my most common shots . For  a longer shot option where typically you need to take more time anyhow you can take a few seconds and dial it up. Not everyone likes the idea and I may not either after I spend the money

I like my spot Hogg fast Eddie “double” pin. It has a double pointer on the yardage wheel too. Typically I have it set for 30 yards. Then  I have my second pin for 40. Anything further I will dial.

Above all my accuracy has improved going this route. Everything has pros and cons. But the single pin has greatly improved the accuracy of my shot at all distances.

I shoot single pin and just found that setting my pin at 28yards gives me the widest range of being able to put the pin center and hit the vitals. I really like having 1 pin rather then a bunch in front of me......then again I hunt also with a recurve with no sights so to each their own.

I just ordered a trophy taker option 4. Haven’t received it yet but I have high hopes. I like the ability to be able to flip open my fixed pins and only use my slider. We’ll see how it goes.

Works great, they're solid and very adjustable. I got a 6 pin with the oval housing for practicing long distance at the range, but I hunt with it as 5 pin. I just move the floating pin over a fixed pin so it looks like there's only 5. Anything over 60 I'd need enough time to dial anyway to be comfortable taking the shot and anything inside 60 having 5 pins is more than enough for me to sort through. It's nice knowing my most used pins for hunting never move but also having a pin I can dial for way out there.
