I seen a lot of reviews on this sight. Most of them seem to be by the gentleman who invented it. The others seem to be paid advertisements.

Who has actually shot with it?
Is it hard to get used to?
Is it worth the money?
Will you use it to hunt?

Thanks

Keep on Truckin

Honestly you haven't paid much attention if you think the only reviews have been from the inventor. I personally do not have one, but think the sight is very intriguing. I would say do a search on here, but the search seeks to be broken. Do a Google search, and include Archerytalk in the search. You will find a lot of post from people who have used and are still using the EZV sight.

Given the vids on this thing. You could mock up a version see for yourself. There isn't anything complex about it as it uses the same principle of a mildot scope and target ranging in rifles. It's very old tech in a cleverly applied way for archery.

I'd say it does what it says on the tin.

My dad has one,
I got him to try it due to his vision.
I think it works pretty good.

But he did switch back to his pins..
He said that he struggled on 3dtargets other than the deer..

For instance, a turkey or pig or bear, he had trouble aiming correctly..
He also stated that with the marks, and a know yardage it was more effective for him than the" range finder "option.

He was getting along ok using it, but feels like he is doing better with the regular pin sight

First off Aaron does not pay anyone to advertise his sight on here despite what others say he doesn't it's from user that have it. To answer your questions I over think everything so for me it took a bit longer to get use to if you take you time and use the included target to sight in you will get use to it. I think it's worth the money built like a tank and simple adjustments. I have been practicing with it so I am hoping to have it in the woods with me this year. In the picture these shoots were without the tick marks at 20 left arrow, 30 and 40 are the other 2

Yes I've shot with it
No not hard to get used to it
Yes worth the money
Yes I'm going to hunt with it

I've wasted way too much of my time telling about it, trying to explain to the self proclaimed experts on here that are sure no sight without pins will work. So if you want to try one, go ahead and get
one. If you don't like it send it back, you got 30days for that. If you do get one and like it, take a little advice, don't come on here and tell guys how good it is, do it and you will be sorry you did.

Exactly what he said, except...

I have two of them.

Okay, I'll add... I was practicing with my broadhead bow at 80 yards and put 3/3 arrows in the circle of a 18-1 target. I mean... I've never done that good with pins. From 50-80, I do use the ticks rather than the V but that's fine with me. At those distances, I'm going to range and get every bit of information I can.

Been shooting exclusively for several weeks now with a Bow Anchor sight and having great results. I have a 35 target 3d course ranges 10yds-50yds. Your mind utilizes the V and it is pretty great how consistently I can put an arrow in the kill zone. Also shooting from my 16" shooting tower at various ranges puts the arrow in the vitals. I will say that it takes some time to adjust to using it but have been pretty impressed with the results. I am no competitive shooter but enjoy roaming at random distances and hitting where I want even with old eyes(60). Not for everyone but I like it.

The reviews posted by the Inventor (Aaron) are received from customers and basically a "cut and paste". So they are independent reviews by users, not being paid or sponsored by EZV. I have 1 and like the concept a lot. But due to work and family was unable to put in sufficient time to be ready to use it this season. I am hoping to put in the time in the next off season to use the EZV in the fall of 2018.

I just put one on my bow. I am not sure I am following when you say put in the time to be ready with it as I found it very simple and almost instinctual. I would say that at least for me it's a pure hunting sight. Can't see a lot of uses shooting spots or 3D. Not sure if it would even be allowed for 3D. I don't have a lot of use myself for target archery, so for my purposes it fit the bill. Within 40 yards I was pretty proficient pretty quick. I don't ever shoot outside 40, so I didn't even try it out there. But for typical hunting scenarios it's pretty deadly. The shot below is one of my first outings from a tree stand at about 32 yards. Unmarked, so I didn't know the distance at the time, and at a tough angle. It's not hitting a nat's ass, but pretty much putting them where I want them to. We don't really start until late Oct., so I got some time to practice with it, but so far very impressed.

Time with the system equals confidence in it's ability. No different that converting a rifle from iron sights to scope. I want to have practice and confidence in the equipment I am using before shooting at a live animal; I think we all owe that to the animals we hunt.

Yeah I suppose. It's not really anything all that different than a pin sight. Just a different way of looking at the sight picture. It's still just a reference point. I was actually kind of blown away when I looked back at all the controversy surrounding this thing. When I got it I was like "what the heck is everybody arguing about" It's just a bow sight, but for hunting seems to be a pretty good one. I shoot recurve most of the time and sight off the arrow tip, so maybe I am more in-tune with referencing off arbitrary fixed references. For me anyway this thing was really easy to pick up and shoot almost out of the box. Not sure how much practice and confidence you are looking for, to each his own, but being only August you probably have plenty of time. No doubts I will have it in the stand this year. For hunting no going back.

There are many threads and hundreds of reviews...see our facebook sites. For some reason, so many on this forum sit back in their chair and throw stones at something many are enjoying. Its really pretty ridiculous. I have been a member for a long time, this site's crowd has changed.

We have never paid anyone, not even myself (LOL)..I cut and paste reviews from facebook since so many shy away from AT for fear of ridicule. Try one, beat the snot out of it if you can, if you your not dazzled, send it back. It does do very well on any type of target but its purpose is to make ethical, double lung shots on game in 1/10th the time without movement of a rangefinder. It is 130yrs old technology, "stadiametric ranging" was invented in 1890 and used for the military up until Desert Storm to missle tanks and such. I did not know of it during my development but Im the first to use it in hunting/archery applications. Many can doubt it, but its 110yrs proven..

I am in West Virginia and use the EZV sight. I do not hunt targets or 3D as those suckers are tough to eat. I am strictly a hunter and will be using it this fall when I hunt Deer, Bear and Turkey.

Does it take time to get used to: yes as does any any new sight or addition to you add to you bow. I have found like others have mentioned, that the more I use it the tighter my groups become. Remember I am a hunter not a target shooter so my goal is to harvest the animal in the most humane way possible. The EZV allows me to make double lung shots every time.

I like the everloving crap out of mine. I can see my target with no blurs. It lets me relax without worrying about a pin and concentrate on form and target. Maybe it is using "old" technology but, its the first bow sight I have found like it. Not that its the first. Just first for me. I will use it this fall for hunting. Hopefully will kill a nice one.

if i new how i would put pics up,alas not tech savy....how ever ive been following this sight for awhile(on here)and have liked what others have been saying .i have been fighting
fuzzy pins for years and have tried but never been able to shoot with 2 eyes open and restricted field of view.and i believe all this has caused heart wrenching and stress full hunts
mixed with (heat of the moment) shots.on the game i have taken .enough so that i had said no more bow hunting after that year ,but friends keept saying dont worry you get over it.
just in the couple weeks im feeling so much more confadent that ill make a GOOD FIRST shot .NO MORE FOREST OF BLURRY PINS,FULL FIELD OF VEIW BECAUSE I CAN NOW USE
2 EYES.it isint a "target" sight its a"hunting"sight and that is what im after during hunting season,for points i can use pins

I don't know but I've found the tick marks were a distraction that kept me from using just the V. Once I had the right V in my setup I got rid of the tick marks and I shoot way way better with it. With them there I was using it as crutch to second guess myself. Going through the O'l "Ok its x yards, which pin" type of mind exercise. With just the V it seems more instinctual. Again I didn't get out to anything more than 40 yards, but I don't hunt at those distances.

I turned my sight around yesterday and went "tickless" and I was pleasantly surprised how well I shot. Out of all the targets I shot I had one shot out of the kill zone and it was a spot target(another spot I centered). When I started concentrating more on the spot where I want to hit the more instinctive it became and the better I hit. I appreciate any input from other users and to the nay sayer"s too bad you feel the need to interject comments in a negative manner. Don't like it don't use it-great thing we have the right to choose.

I'm curious about the statement of using the EZV is 10x faster than ranging a target with a conventional rangefinder.
Since I've read many times that a rangefinder should be utilized beyond 40 yards with the EZV...does that indicate that the use of the EZV sight is 10x faster only on shots under 40?

Don't know where the 10x faster statement came from but it is noticeably faster. just watch the EZV vid. on the rolling target. You may not have the problem with brush like we do here in Nth Id.
It works a bit like this, see an elk close around the 30yd. or closer, count to 10 if you don't have an arrow at full draw or close to it, you won't get a shot because the elk will be gone. Had that
almost exact thing happen to me last season, elk was about 40yds. away, by the time I ranged him with my hand held finder, he was gone. Every time I use the V during practice I think of how
I could of got that elk.

It will fit on the Axcel Accutouch, but I didn't leave it on mine for long. The shaft is the same size as the X-41 shaft and it fit perfectly. I thought that having third axis and being able to go back and fourth was something I might like, but turns out the bracket that comes with the sight is pretty solid, and I didn't see a lot of use having that $200 sight body for nothing more than a mount for the EZV ring. Ended up selling the Axcel, and I have a simple five pin if I want to shoot spots. Besides I'm that guy that used to shoot with a match stick taped to the riser, so simple for me is way better.

It's nice to see almost all positive posts about the EZV, I've had one for a while now and love shooting with it. Iwas having some vision issues and this sure beats pins, with a clarifier. Aaron and anyone who posts how good it is working for them get a ton of crap for it, but if it works use it, try it if you're not sure, money back guarantee, if you have no clue about it then shut up!!!

I have one and it works for me, have shot with it all through the spring/summer. I wanted to give it a shot due to my eyes...always see a very blurry pin actually my one pin became 2 to 3 pins. After shooting with the V for a week or so I put back on my pin sight with intentions of returning the V but after a couple of days of shooting with the pin sight to give it a true shot I ended up taking off the sight and put the V back on. Granted at this time I still use the tics and Im fine with that for its familiar to me from having used this type of sight when on active duty.

I guess if that makes me a fan boy of the V then so be it...that just means Im no longer of a pin fan boy?
