Default RE: which sight?

Yeh, I can give you some insight on the Spott Hogg as I have two of them. I have the Hogg-It and the Real Deal. They are a very rugged, high quality sight, bar none. But I don't use them for hunting for a couple reasons.

One, the pins aren't bright enough. Yeh, yeh, some guys are going to say get the light kit. Wrong chicken. The light is about $25 and uses batteries; very expensive batteries that can and will go dead on you eventually in the woods. Plus, the light makes the pins too bright when you need it the most; like having a spot-light in your eyes. You'll be able to see the pins alright. Just nothing beyond them.

Two, the pin guard is not wide enough. It's about 1/2" wide and does not give good protection to the pins and fibers for hunting purposes.

Ok, that sums it up. Do I like the sights? You bet--for a target or 3D setup. That's why I have two of them.
