It's on Germ's, Rob/PA's, mine.....I think Atlasman's....and soon to be on GR8's bows.

For myself....I love it....and I'm probably getting ready to order another one, myself.

BTW....that's a great price....if that is the Predator Pro.

It's a pretty good sight. I still think a Spott Hogg with the Hogg Wrap is the Ultimate sight though

Do you have first hand knowledge for each?

I like the Viper better than the Hoggbut I likethe copper john comp series the best.

So I assume this sights pins are tough enough for hunting? I'm looking for a sight for 3d and hunting. My current sight doesnt have micro adjust, and I'm having problems getting it dialed in exactly as I want it.

Josh....

I've owned both sights (Spot Hogg - Hunter Hogg it and the Viper).

I'm one man......but instead of utilizing the SH I already had on my other bow.....I'm ordering another Viper

.

Nothing at all against the SH.....but the Viper ....I ordered direct from Rick @ Viper. I got the pin colors and configuration I wanted (mine has 5 pins......029 green, .029 yellow, .010 red, .010 green, .010 yellow) @ no extra charge (except for the extra pin).

I played around with the sight pins on another sight at the bow shop, and I'm pretty sure I want all pins to be .010. Not too big on pin color (im more or less colorblind), but as long as they are visable enough for normal hunting conditions, I think I'm sold on it.

This sight only offers gang micro adjust.... The pins are not individually micro adjustable though like on the SH and CJ's. The biggest drawback of the sight IMO.

Rob can speak to that probably better than I.....but if it wasn't precise....he wouldn't be using it. You can not micro adjust each individual pin, actually. BUT.....I have NEVER had a problem with tuning my sight in a matter of a few arrows. The housing is micro-adjust....the individual pins are not.

At 310fps currently......it's good enough

....and built like a rock.

my current sight is a cobra boomslang (bought it last year when my previous sight crapped out, and just needed something simple to get me through the year). I'm having a hard problem moving the pins in small enough increments to get it dialed in correctly, but I think its mostly due to the lower grade of construction. I am currently shooting right at 300 fps.
