I am looking at sights myself and am overwhelmed, though many of them look the same to me. Don't have any experience with Vital Bow Gear equipment. I'd like to see the new Octane sight once it comes out.

I switched to a HHA Optimizer 5500 last fall and have been very impressed with it. After getting it dialed in all the way to 60 yards it has been very accurate and simple. Single pin bright fiber optic pin has been great. Don't have to be worried about multiple pins and all the clutter from having multiple pins. Only down side that I can see happen is if you may have buck fever you have to remember what distance the target is and adjust your shot accordingly. Besides that should not be any negatives form it.

I have a Vital Gear bowsight and love it. It is BRIGHT! The damn thing glows when I put it in the case after an evening hunt. Green pins are much brighter than the red and yellow. I am looking at purchasing one of their sights with all green pins.

As another plus - the sights are guaranteed for life. Mybow string broke while my bow was hanging in storage. The bow fell to the floor and the fall bent my sight. I sent the sightto Vital Gear. They fixed it for free - no questions asked.

While I was price shopping for the all green sight, I double checked on the lifetime warranty. Vital Gear told me that as long as I buy the sight from a dealer, they will honor the warranty. I guess Ebay and other auction websites have soured them.

I've gone thru a bunch and am totally pleased with the Hindsight...
Tho the dealers tell you to start with the smaller cheaper and then go to the larger later, I wish I would have started with the larger... No matter - the small has worked fine for a couple of years and it's awful hard to miss your spot...
