Default HTM SIghts

What do people think of the HTM sights?

They have some interesting hunting and 3D models.

On the 3D, is there any reason not to buy a Sure-loc? I need a new sight after trading my toxonics away.

As you saw in my other post I really do like the Sure-locs'and would recommend them to anyone but I did get a chance to check out an HTM at Bedford last year and was impressed by it.The HTM is very well built IMHO and the next sight I buy may very well be an HTM.
I beleive Sagitarius uses an HTM and swears by them.

Ossage,


OHarcher is right about how I feel about HTM.
I studied all the major target sights last year and went with HTM.
To me, they're the best built sight on the market.
Their mounting block is especially awesome.
They have a blank scale on the left for marking your own settings and a numbered one on the right side of their sight housing for reference when adjusting your verticle sight settings. Pretty cool feature, imo.
Some people don't like HTM's finish. They use a somewhat dull matte finish, unlike the brite finish Sure-Loc and others use.
I like their finish just fine. HTM's are a little heavier than the other sights but they couldn't be built as bomb proof as they are if they were lighter.
From studying all the major sights last year, this is how I rank them.
1 HTM
2 CBE
3 Sure-Loc
4 Toxonics Nail Driver
5 Copper John
Just my opinion, of course.
I would have ranked the Toxonics higher but their accessories are limited and not on par with the sight. Not last year anyway.
All of the sights mentioned above are great and will do the job.
Just depends on what appeals to you.
The next hunting sight I get will probably be that new HTM Last Word Sight with the multi-pin housing.
For anyone shooting a Mathews bow. HTM's stabilizers have holes with rubber dampeners with your choice of aluminum or brass rods as inserts for balancing the stabilizer to your liking.
If your Mathews has the vibration dampeners built into the riser, the HTM stabilizer would look cool with your bow.
Good luck with whatever sight you decide to go with, Ossage.


Sag.
