HHA optimizer sights
 
Currently im shooting an extreme rt900 sight with my general. it was cheap looked sturdy, and it is proven to be very good so far. when i bought my bow i bought a half dozen 500(total)gr. fmj arrows. i decided to save them for deer season so i bought a half dozen carbon express arrows for rec. and 3d. im thinking about buying the HHA Optimizer-Lite Ultra 5519 w/Rheo from eders for 162$ that is very cheap considering everywhere else its 200 even on ebay. i want to shoot it with the CX arrows for 3d adn just practicing throughout the year, and use the extreme sight, with the fmj's for deerhunting.
my dilema here is, will swapping out the two effect my shooting any. i like the idea of the one pin from 20-60 yards b/c i love shooting distance for fun. my rt900 has 4 pins for 20-50 and that is plenty for bowhunting. is the hha site worth the money, and is it good quality? thanks for the help guys.

really. the only real discrepency i have with shooting a one pin is in those situations where you dont have time to adjust or you are drawn on a deer thats moving towards you or away. do you hunt with that setup.

I think HHA sights are the best rear sliders out there. I have the Ultra for about $190 including Priority shipping TYD HHA took a big price hike a few weeks back. I'm betting eders is still selling old stock but still that is a good price. I would not expect it to last too long though. We have a complete line of the HHA sights and they are all top notch. The Rheostat pinguard is Sweet!

If a deer is at a range that needs the sight adjusted and you don't have time to set the sight, then you would be rushing the shot anyway;)

you have a very good point there dan. i could always just set it up at 25 too adn leave it and adjust by guessing. until now ive always shot a one pin anyway, and just adjusted by guestimation.

I put the white strip on mine..I put the slider at the very bottom for 10 yards then marked it off for every 10

They also have the new EZ tapes available, which allows you to sight in 2 yardages and place a computer generated pre-marked tape on.

Very nice, very convenient, & very precise.

You will not regret buying a HHA Sight or anything else that HHA produces for that matter. Great craftsmanship and customer service is awesome.

i just put the TX5519 on my xf this thing is sweet i never have liked multi pin sights with one pin there is no confusion plus you have a better view of the target with a vertical pin,and these things are solid and good customer service and the pin is nice and brite the rheostat on the sightis a real benefit..........Ted

Stupid question but how exactly does a single pin sight work? Obviously it must be adjustable, but how can the yardage be set for different arrow flight?

MeanV2 04-14-2008 09:00 AM

RE: HHA optimizer sights
 
As withany sight, they would have to be resighted in for a different arrow. The Ultra comes with several computer generated tapes that are accurate to the yard. Also available are EZ tapes for the other models.

Sweet!!

what exactly is the rheostat feature?

what exactly is the rheostat feature?
The pin guard adjusts in and out with a simple twist to cover or expose the fiber optics. In the Ultra I shoot there is 10' of fibers, sometimes it's nice to expose all of it but many times it is too much.
