Thinking of getting an adjustable sight. I'm hoping to shoot the R100 a few hours away from home this summer and would like to have a ability to have an aiming point past my 60yd pin. Never really used an adjustable for 3D. Info both positive and negative on other brands are appreciated as well. Thanks in advance ladies and gents!!

I went from the standard single pin Tetra to the Tetra RYZ last year and have yet to use the second “pin” after a 3D and hunting season. The distance between the pins for my setup is approx 14 yards which is great if a deer moves that quickly. For the R100 it will be and was useless since time allows to range and set the yardage.
The positive for hunting is you do get the second aiming fiber if an animal moves out of the top pin range. You still have to guess and likely gap shoot much like a multi fixed pin sight.
Each setup will vary greatly and for me the extra money was not worth it so far. My bow speed lets me set the pin at 25 yards and I can safely remain in the kill zone out to 30 on whitetail. I will shoot deer past 30 but only if conditions are right that allows me to range and set my sight to the exact distance. Holding the second aiming dot on a whitetail past 30 is not ideal for me. The sight picture is too cluttered with the pin covering too much of the animal for me to have confidence.
I’d rather have the new 3 pin Tetra model over the RYZ.

Lots of good ones. Biggest complaint with the RYZ is lack of adjustable pin and indicators. The new X3 seems to address this, but it's a horizontal set up if you're set on vertical. The spot Hogg is heavy and slopping. But lots seem to like it still. CBE micro 3v getting decent reviews but haven't had a chance to try one myself. Seems a little "cheaper" construction. UV slider is a great concept but fails to execute in a few different manners. Axcel Landslyde is my personal favourite. Lots of scope options for it. Wish you could have more pin indicators but 2 is better than one. It's built very similar to their top of the line target scope.

The only negative is the inability to adjust the pins, other than that the pins are very bright and the sight is very tough, mine has made it through 2, 2 week back country western hunts and it still works like a champ. I think the biggest advantage HHA has over the competition is their slider is the smoothest I’ve used.

The HHA tetra max ryz is a solid sight. Depending on budget, if you're wanting to maximize your range look at a Dialed ARXOS. They're pricey but you can usually pick up a used one for a good price.

I just picked up a dual pin RYZ and quite happy with it. The second pin was a must for hunting situations where the animal moves. I also wanted the dove tail for my V3X . I am anHHA fan boy since I've had 4 different sights throughout the years. No need to look at different ones for me as these have never let me down. Easy sight in process.

I have a 5 pin sight I'd use for hunting. I'm pretty much strictly looking for a sight that I can utilize for longer shots at a TAC event (if I ever decide to go to one) or an R100. Just looking to add range. Probably wouldn't use it for hunting.

If it’s not for hunting, I’d personally go with Excel over HHA. I love HHA as a hunting sight but Excel for win as a better option for 3D. It has target sight features in a platform that works great for 3D.

Shot an HHA Single Pin for 6 or 7 years, great sight, Tried the Spot Hogg Tripple Stack, liked the idea but not the sight, back to HHA with the Ryz Max, great sight! I like having the second pin, everything is still vertical and gives a awesome sight picture. I would go HHA Ryz Max again without question.

I have the hha tetra ryz frame with a UV3 scope and love the combo. I really like how I can turn from 20-100+ yards in one turn of the wheel where as my black gold sight took like five turns. The hha is a very hardy and well built sight with very bright pins. The adjustable rheostat is great IMO. Like others have said, the only downside is the fixed pins and yardage indicators but for me it’s not the end of the world

The only way to go for a quality, durable, reliable moveable hunting sight is HHA or Spot Hogg. The new Boonie is going to put a lot of used HHA's and Spot Hoggs on the market because it has features that only really HHA has had in the past, and then some extras. Those 2 sight companies are a couple of the very few in the industry that are family owned and operated and that archery company is all that they do. They're not owned by conglomerates or investment companies or have massive other companies with money backing them. Their products are great, the customer service is great, and both are made in the USA. Really can't go wrong looking at either of them.
