RE: Trophy Ridge Mantis
The Guide Series Mantis with the V-Drive is a great sight. I have been shooting one for a few weeks & love it. This will be my sight for deer hunting this fall. I set mine up with the optional Blue LED and love it.
This is the only tree stand sight I have found that is queit. I also like the fact you can lock it down & use it as a movable single pin sight as well. The V-Drive moves really nice & gives plenty of motion with a 1/4" turn! If you lock it down you can shoot anywhere from 10 yards to 100 with out any problems!
If you hunt deer, bear or any other game form a tree stand this is the real deal for serious hunters! If you hunt out of a ground blind for turkey, pronghorn, deer, etc. lock the pendelum down & use it as a moveable pin sight. The V-Drive is awsome & since you are in a blind you have nothing to worry about setting the sight to the range you need. You cn add a Glo-Ring and the Blue LED and you will have no problems with a black lined ground blind!
Good Luck
