Fly by night? Not hardly! Trophy Ridge will be around for awhile. They make some excellent sights!

Just don' t get too rough with them unless you want to be replacing plastic pins all the time.

I can' t tell you yet, but, when ever I get mine, I will let you know.

Seriously though, they have a great design and look awsome. I really like having an open sight window, and, the no tools required is really nice.

I bought the nitro extreme 3pin last yr for my new bow. The vertical pins seemed to be natural to me. First thing I noticed right off was how easy the design was to put on my bow, and adjust for sighting in. My sight picture is good, and I really liked using the vertical alignment of pins. I set them at 20-30-and 40 for summer 3D' s.
On the down side the pins are little fragile. I broke one playing around with it soon after I bought it. I epoxy' d the pin, and used it the rest of last summer. My other complaint was they use 2 pins of 1 color. I had 2 yellow' s, and a green. Before hunting season came I contacted Trophy Ridge, and ordered replacement pins. They were very helpful, and I had my new pins within 7days, replacing them is fairly easy. They come with good directions. I changed the broken one to a red, so have all 3 colors now. Just the way I like!!!

If you tend to be rough with your equipment they make the all metal sight also!

About the only real practical complaint I have heard about them is that since the pins are in the same vertical plane it is much more difficult to gap shoot with them. I somewhat agree with this as it would explain some of the problems I had while using mine out on the 3D range this year.

I do like the ease of use which the site offers. Not having to carry around a set of allen wrenches sure is convenient. I have only had time to play around with the Flatliner model. I am unsure if the other models allow you to mount the sight closer to the riser but this is something that I think might be offered as an option.
