Trophy ridge review- from a beginner
Trophy ridge react sight
So I will attempt to give a review on my new sight the trophy ridge react 5 pin sight.
As many of you know I am new to both hunting and even newer to bow hunting but I am very impressed overall with the sight. Initially out of the box the construction of the sight seemed light and strong. The light switch is ok but wish it had a better way of turning it off as opposed to the rotating knob that can spin endlessly going from dim to bright to off ect. When the light is on it illuminates the pins very well but does not seem to interfere with ypur overall vision. The pins themselves collect a ton of light and work very well.
As a beginner i found the setup,install and sighting in was very easy. With multiple spots to mount the sight i was able to make a better fit for my needs. The level is clear and easy to see without being distracting.
To set the 20 yrd pin you have both a vertical amd horizontal axis to adjust and sight in. After that and tightening down those two tooless set screws i went on to sight in my 30 yrd pin. For the more experienced and better shooter you may want to sight in one of the farther pins instead of the 30 yrd. After a few miniets i had my 30 and 20 sighted in and was already shooting tighter more consistant groups than I was earlier. The smart pins seem to work like they are advertised.
Now i am not a perfect shot but i have significantly increased my accuract now shoiting 2-3" groups at 20 and 30 yrds. I think after more practice I will resight in my 20 yrd pin then the 40 yrd instead of the 30 yrd. Reason being i did notice as i stepped back past 30 the groups though consistant were moving away from the center. I read that if you sight in the 20 yrd pin then your farthest comfortable didtance the lesser distances will be more accurate, if that makes any sense. I do see the need to re sight in the sight for any significant change such as arrow, grains, broadhead, ect. But after only sighting in two pins you will confidentlt have 5 pins sighted in.
Tale this review as you want because I am new but being new i am pretty unbiased towards By any particular company or design.
