suggestions for a new sight??
#11

Have you thought about trying a single pin adjustable sight? The Admiral is a pretty quick shooter.......like most new bows so haveing thousands of pins (overstatement of course) isn't really needed. I have mine marked for yardage out to 60 yards but would never shoot at an animal that far out.......well I don't plan on it..... When i'm hunting i set mine at 25yards and determine the shooting lanes I have then if a deer walks into them i just point and shoot. Not thinking about what pin i need to use. Vertical pin took me a couple days to adjust to, but i love it now.......a single vertical pin. not multiple ones like some of the trophy ridge sights.
If you do alot of 3d shooting then they put you in a tougher class but I don't do it for the competition anyway.
Just throwing out another idea.

the idea of only having one pin kinda scares me, i like knowing exactly where to aim... i dont think i would trust myself enough to use a one pin sight.. how do you knw where to aim if a deer offers a shot at 40 when youre set for 25?? im just curious cause ive never used that kind of sight

When most people switch to a single pin slider that fall in love with them and won't go back to a multi pin setup. If you don't wanna plunk down 120+ for an HHA, then you cound find a Cobra King cobra for around 70ish. Same concept as the HHA but i think the HHAs are built alot better. VitalBowGear makes a few sliders also but they are simiar prices to the HHAs and i don't think they are built as well. You could also look in online classifieds for better prices. I found mine on and achery sites classified.
I was leary at first but with the speed most bows are shooting today, the pinguards get really busy with multi pin sights. A single pin set at 25 or 30 will do the majority of whitetail hunters.

Try the Axcel Armourtech HD. It is a new sght. It appears a bit pricy, but the fiber optics are fully contained inside the metal of the pins. I shot a bow with them on it. They appeared to be a sight that would be very durable.
