Purchased New Sight Need Advice
I recently bought a cobra 5 pin .019 sight that was really nice and i thought it was good. But looking at some sights i have heard that the spot hogg was top of the line. I ordered the .0010 5 pin sight off of ebay. I was wondering what the brightness was like on the hogg-it hunter 5 pins, do you think it is necessary to get the hogg wrap?? Thanks for your input it is greatly appreciated..

I have 3 of the hogg it, one .019 and the .010 and you may a very wise choice. You should get the wrap without a doubt. I found the Carolina sight light works very well with it. Be patient learning how to adust the pins on it though. You have two allen head screws per pin. When you want to lower the pin you loosen the bottom of the two allen heads then tighten the top....then tighten the bottom...sounds confusing but you'll see what I mean when you get the sight.

thanks for your input... so do you like the .0010 pins ... i shot .029 for a long time and the .019 increased my accuracy tremendously and i cant imagine what the .0010 is going to do... thanks..

I love the .010 pins....should have done it earlier. You can see so much more of the target at longer ranges. I like to shoot distance for fun and the .010 is great. I have no problem seeing them especially if you have the wrap on it. In my humble opinion Spot Hogg makes the best sight without a doubt. I have change out a lot of things on my bow but since I bought Spot Hogg I would be hard pressed to switch. You do pay the price up front but it's worth it. If you like buying on line check out eders.com think they merged with pro bowhunter but if you put eders in on yahoo you'll find it. Also check bowhunters superstore and ye olde archery shoppe. I think obsession archery has decent deals on Spott Hogg too.

The light IMO is too bright for most occasions; unless you are hunting in a blind and it is still early dawn or right before dark it will make the pins appear to have the halo. The wrap is a definite must IMO because their standard pins are too dull to hunt with.
I got the wrap for my Hunter Hogg-It and after seeing how much of a difference the wrap makes I have come to 2 conclusions...
1.) I would not buy a Spot Hogg without a wrap because without them they are just overpriced.
2.) There is no need for the light if you buy the wrap because the pins are just that bright.

I do think the light is necessary especially if you hunt in a blind. The pins are very bright with the wrap but in a blind you don't have much light and at dusk it's just that much better.

cobra is a great sight....I have .029" pins, .019" are plenty small, fiberoptic wrapped pins are plenty bright.....theres no reason to own a lighted sight....illegal in some states too!

To top it off it has a life time warranty....How do you hunt out of a blind without a light...I have it too and I guess I like them really bright....point noted. I without a doubt believe this is the best sight made hands down. The only thing I'm sorry about is that it took me a cobra, vital gear and a tru glo to get to this point of owning a spot hogg.
