Has any one used the HHA Triple threat with the move able. I have a couple of older HHA single pin move able but cant find a triple threat tosee in person. Wondering how the top and bottompins adjust? Can they be taken out?

RE: hha sights
I'vehad a 5000 on my hunting bow the last few years. Before that it saw duty for 3D also. One thing that I like about HHA sights is that within the pin guard the pin (metal) is recessed very well for protection and the guard is wide enough to do that job.
The sight is made almost completely of machined aluminum. This costs a lot more than molding a cheap piece of plastic. Lifetime warranty helps, too, although I've never had to find out how good their customer service department is.
Another feature I like is the micro-adjust for windage. I'm a perpetual tinkerer and things get swapped around on my bow(s) all the time so this is one of my criteria for choosing a sight.
Adjustment for yardage is the same as any slider sight. Nothing magical about it. And the single pin keeps the sight picture uncluttered and is plenty bright for hunting up to that last minute, and then some.
There may be some better sights made for specific purposes, but the OL-5000 is probably one of the most versatile for all round use. Because I have this one I don't have to keep up with the "latest and greatest" every year.

RE: hha sights
I just bought the 5500 a few months ago, primarily because I'm a "certified blind" hunter for turkeys, and I wanted to be dang sure that I can see my pin from inside the blind. So far, just practiceing, I am likeing what I am seeing! 4 more days before the real test!

RE: hha sights
I had a 5000 on a bow previously. It was a very good sight. It went with the bow when I sold and I kind of wish I would have kept it. I plan on getting an Optimizer Lite Ultra when they come out.
