Default RE: What did you look for in a sight?

Well after going through several sights in the last 2 years, I must say the Spot Hogg IT is the best by far that I have ever used. They are expensive, but worth every penny. The Copper John had problems with the soft metal in the pin tracks forming when you tightened the pins down, and made it a huge PITA to adjust the pins in the place that you wanted the pin to be. The Copper John level was also off, and the adjustability in it wasn't independant from the gang adjustment so it was a PITA to adjust as well. They were all metal which is nice, but I think the Cobra Mini Venom is just as good of a sight as the Copper John and it costs half as much. I guess it isn't as cool as saying you have a Copper John though.....lol

The Spot Hogg has the 3rd axis adjustments, which is nice because the 3d ranges around here LOVE up and downhill shots, and also nice for when in a tree shooting longer shots. The pins are also the easiest to adjust that I have ever seen, and the wire between the pins is nice for those shots ranged between your pins. I have the .019 which is plenty bright enough for me to shoot nearly at dark, I do it all the time at my local clubs outdoor 3D range in the woods. I also have the light coming in the mail incase I decide that it isn't bright enough to hunt with, however I don't think I will need it.

Add in the fact that I can add in a lense next winter for spots indoor without buying a new sight, and it makes even more sense to spend the money up front for a Spot Hogg.
