It’s hard to beat the ascent series from black gold

 

My vote goes to the Viper sidewinder xl. .015 pin (blue). Best sight I have ever owned. Made in USA and quality built product.

 

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.

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

 

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!

 

Black Gold. Choice of the majority of western bowhunters for good reason.

does it make a huge difference if the sight is extended way out in front? or would a lens make up that difference with a clarifier

 

running the sight farther away expands the distance between your peep and pins. this will amplify any devotions you see regarding your pin and the target. it also allows you to adjust the length so your scope lines up in the peep more precisely, mostly a personal preference. when playing with sight distance I tend to see far more pin float which helps hone in form.

 

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

 

Spot HOgg or Black Gold. Can’t go wrong with either one.

 

Yep!

 

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 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.

 

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.

Axcel makes a fine single pin and is lighter than most. I think there axis adjustments are a bit of a pain to set but are good once locked in!

 

 

I like the HHA Tetra best

 

I bought the GWS AR-19 sight and its ok if you are on a budget. I have also owned a couple HHA's and they were great but cant remember the models of them.

 

Black gold for me! Absolutely love it

 

Single pin, in my opinion, let me stress my opinion, will cause you more headaches in hunting situations. Here comes that big buck you have been waiting on all season. Do you think he will stop and wait for you to adjust your pin? Adjusting your pin with the bow waist-high is much different than adjusting it at chest level. You want plain and simple in the stand, which is much different than shooting targets at the line.

 

Well put sir! I also think where and how someone hunts should impact their decision as well. For instance, I bow-hunt in hardwoods and clear-cut thickets here in West Tennessee during our bow season, very late September to very early November. At that time of the year all the trees and undergrowth are still full of foliage so shots much past 30 yards are virtually non-existent so the single pin works for me...BUT...if a guy hunts more open woods or even over food plots / fields, etc., and if he actually also gets to bow hunt during the peak of the rut...things can happen really fast and he might not have time to adjust a single pin as Mohican says....

To the OP, there is no right or wrong, good or bad...its all personal preference and an understanding of the trade-offs whichever way you go.

 

I am shooting with the trophy ridge react pro single pin and have had no problems seems to be working just fine for hunting

 

HHA Tetra. Simple, smooth, and bright.

 

For those that are shooting the tetra what size are you running 1 3/4, 1 5/8?

 

1 5/8" on my Tetra. I had a 1 3/4" Kingpin and it was too big for my liking.

 

1 5/8

Spot Hogg fast Eddie xl double pin is the best in my opinion. Gives you the look of a normal single pin but has a second pin on the stem just in case that animal steps back once your drawn back and have already adjusted your sight. Every set up is different but it typically ends up being a bout a 10 yard difference between the two pins

 

I’ve only used MBG and have not found a reason to switch but I’m sure there’s tons of good sights.

 

I have had an excel acuhunter for 3 years and love it just switched to a .010 pin. Built well and hasn’t failed me yet.
