Default Which HHA and why?

I'm on the hunt for a new single pin hunting sight for this fall. I've decided it's going to be an HHA, but I don't know much about them and don't know which one to get.

Which one do ya'll have, or, which one would you use and why?

Don, I tend to like top of the line Goodies and the Ultra is the one I prefer. I like the one with 10' of fiber optics, and .019 pin. I have the cheaper model on a backup Bow, but I think the Ultra is worth the extra $$ that I have mounted on my main squeeze. It really is a sweet sight.

I too prefer the ultra models. I am currently shooting the DS-XL5519. I like the XL(2") sight housingfor hunting for the wider field of view and light to your eye. And the "rheostat" feature is very nice because you can dim or brighten the fiber as the ambient light dictates. The dial adjusteris soooo much easier to use and see than the typical sliding bar. Once attached to your bow it is completely toolless in adjustments and the micro widage is vry precise (1 click = 1/8" at 20 yards)

Thanks gentlemen. I appreciate the input. I'm thinking about the Ultra DS-5000...The XL5519 is just a little to rich for my blood, I'm thinking the 5000 will be a good mix....With 3' of fibre, I would suspect it to be plenty bright.

I've got the HHA OL 5000 on my Vectrix XL, and I'm quite happy with it.

The Ultra DS 5519 w/ rheostat is sweet. I don't care for the XL, but the regular 5519 will be on my bow for a few years to come. It's worth it to get the .019" fiber and get the Rheostat. The rheostat is very handy.

If you don't want to spend the $ on the rheostat still get the .019" fiber in the DS-5019. You will appreciate the smaller pin on longer shots.
