Iprefer the V-zone over anything else available at reasonable prices. That said, I'd be the first to admit at 30 yds and under for deer hunting, almost anything from a pin and peep upwards will work.I particularly dislike the multi dot red dots, they just seem to close together to suit me.I recently had an experience w/ Horton 3 dot and couldn't get a light/brightness level to work on a white bag target in the sun at 30 yds, and the 20 yd dot was huge.I like squeezing all the performance I can out of my xbows and personally find the V-zone to aid me in that.
