Default Viper Sights

Im going on an archery elk hunt this year, and was alittel concerned with the plastic pin trophy ridge sight I had on my mavrick , so time for a change . I picked a viper 4 pin hunter series . My first impressions are WOW , what a diferance , the pins are bright , but without a halo around them . The pingaurd is the PERFECT size fitting inside my peeps viewing hole , and the floresent yellow ring makes lining up "natural". The adjustment screws ar stout , dont see it slipping or moveing . The winadge and height indicator marks are easy to see , something alot of sights lack . I dont know if it was just me or if the improvement in sight picture but I was shoot'n some seriously tight groups , the sight picture is asstounding .

One last plus , my bow was much quiter , very noticeable . The metal construction , and rugad locking screws must be why , but my bow is way quieter .

If you are in the market for a sight check them out . Their not cheap , I think it was around $100.00 , but worth every dollar . I havent found a drawback yet , Im calling this thing the best accesioryIve put on my bow since a muzzy rest so many years ago , and thats saying alot .

ijimmy, I couldn't agree more. I'm still waiting, since February on the Viper Predator Pro MT....last email I received told me I was at the top of the list....I'm patient but it's thinning.

there is a 3 pin Viper slider at a store near my house. I have never seen one before and it is not listed on the website. Has anyone else seen this sight?

Well I sort of messed up but am not a bit unhappy. I bought a new Viper sight on Ebay and from the picture I thought it was a Viper Predator sight...turned out to be the Viper Eliminator but with Predator sight pins and 7.5" fibers. Its very bright, all aluminum, and easy to adjust. I'd love to have the Predator Pro but any archer looking for a great series of sights from top of the line to just a plain hunting sight can't go wrong with a Viper. None of their sights have any plastic whatsoever and are rock solid!!!
