Ive been looking at all the options for a single pin sight and there seems to be a lot of good choices. So I'm having a hard time narrowing down which one I should get. Seems like a lot of people like the spot Hogg fast eddy. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I've had a Viper, an HHA Kingpin, a Spot Hogg Tommy Hogg and now an HHA Tetra. So far I like the Tetra the best.
All my sights were green .019" single pins. I had an older Viper and it required loosening a screw, adjusting for the yardage and then retightening the screw and because of the design I had to use extensions to mount the quiver out farther from the riser than I liked. The HHA's have proven to be the brightest of the 4 but the Kingpin just seemed too heavy to me. The Tommy Hogg just didn't seem bright enough for me very early and very late and I didn't like the fact that the sight housing itself was simply screwed onto the the horizontal adjusting bar with just one screw....making it susceptible to twisting (rotating) on the horizontal slide. I bought the Tetra about 2 months ago and its super bright, a few ounces lighter than the Kingpin and so far I really like it. Haven't tried a MBG but I hear they are nice.

I just bought a iq pro one, just mounted it on new revolt x. Only shot it a few times so far but for less than 70 bucks I’m impressed so far. Tool less windage and elevation adjustments plus retna Lock and seems like another anchor point/ grip ck that’s visible above pin. We’ll see!
There’s a lot of great sights out there. It’s all about what YOU want in a sight. I gave up a lighter weight, less pretty sight for a sight I could take off and beat an animal to death with if I had to. I like the spot Hogg fast Eddie xl. Tough as nails.

The only one ive had so far is the cbe engage hybrid single pin and all I have is good things to say about it. It gets the job done for me (10)-100 yards

There is no “best”! There are however about 1/2 dozen well made sights that have different features that some will like and others won’t. Really all a question like this does is become a popularity contest and an indication of what people are shooting now. The only way someone can say it’s the best is if they’ve had every sight out there for a while and hunted or shot 3D with them. Then it’s still only what they found was best for them.
i shot my hha tetra single pin for hunting this past season. i will be using a 3 pin next season. i've never had an issue with "sight picture clutter". you can make the argument of using the wrong pin for the wrong yardage but the same goes for a single pin, you can forget to set the yardage of not hold over or under correctly. i see more advantages of the multi pin in hunting scenarios

I’m trying out the Option archery site by Dan Evans. Dual gang pin housing with the ability to shoot fixed pin or single pin. I only have 3 days of shooting with it so far but I really like the set up. I’ve been shooting HHA since they came out. HHA is heavy compared to the Option sight.

I would preferable like to use a 3 pin but with my shooting eye not being the best as it used to be I figured a single pin sight might work better.

Viper must have changed there design. When adjusting yardage it is a tight moving gear. Just rotate dial to desired yardage.

Mine was an older Viper single pin site, the newer ones have the friction dial as you've stated...my buddy has one of the newer versions. See picture below.

Personal preference for everybody but I went to a single pin about 10 years ago and won't go back. For hunting whitetail from a treestand (all I do...), I set my pin at 25 yards and I'm good at any range from right under my stand out to about 35 yards...I will hold an inch or so low at anything under 15 yards and an inch or so high out to 35.
I shoot a 400 grain arrow at about 290 fps with my set-up and this seems to work out really well for me.
