Default Trophy Ridge Weak Aluminum!

I purchased a Trophy Ridge sight in October of 2006. Yesterday on my fourth shot my sight falls to the ground. The aluminum bracket that mounts to my bow broke in half. I know what you guys are thinking, I must have dropped it or was just to rough with it. My bow is my baby, I am very gentle with it and keep it stored in my padded case inside my house. Has this ever happened to any of you? Do you think the vibrations of my shots could have caused this?

Well, I called Trophy Ridge just a second ago and they are sending out a new brackett. At least there customer service is good.

I was considering the micro matrix five pin. Searching for reviews, I found a few stories like yours. i decided to save that money and stick with my current sight this season.

Other than that problem. How do you like the sight. Do you like the vertical pin setup? Is it easy to use?

It's ok, I do like the vertical pins and the fact that it can be adjusted without an allen wrench. But it is a bit bulky, the fiber optics hang down quite a bit and causes me to have some clearance issues.
