Trophy Ridge
Just thought id give a few observations-opinions on the trophy ridge nitro extream 3 pin.
I recently purchased the sight when my pins broke on my old one. I wanted to give the vertical pins a try. I like this sight very much. I find the vertical design has lessend some of my error in shooting wide left and right. I also like the markings for the adjustment. For now i like the no tools cam lock adjustment for the individual pins. My concern with that is if they wear out and the pins begin to slip. I have not experianced this just a small concern. I also dont care for the tourque adjustment, just make it straitgh next time and ill put it on straigh, no need for more moving parts. I have this sight shooting very well and am pleased with the purchase. JMO

RE: Trophy Ridge
I have a trophy ridge sight I love it, had it for two years, I have one problem now though, I would like to light the pins up, but do not have a place to put nitro to light it, any suggestes how to light the sight. I have the 5 pin and did not come with any lighting system and I do not want to buy another trophy ridge sight. There is a open space on the under side to drill a hole a maybe put in a light in there. Any suggestins would be great.

RE: Trophy Ridge
BA--Trophy Ridge provides a light (PSE) and a plate, that bolts directly to the top hex bolt of your sight ring.
Here's a link to see what it looks like.

However, "I" have had problems with the PSE light and have since 're-threaded' the plate to fit the Copper John Afterburner light.
IMO--this combination is much better and works fine!!!

RE: Trophy Ridge
The Nitro lights are little chemical sticks that glow when you bend/crush them. You know, like mini versions of the emergency light sticks or the ones the kids carry on Halloween? I would suggest using the Trophy Ridge blue LED light instead. This bright battery operated light as seen on top of my sight housing means all your pins truly GLOW for a perfect sight picture under ANY lighting condition. Well woth the $10 !!!
