never heard of the silver talons, the range rover is ok for the price.

HHA is the best sight I have yet to use! Simple, rugged, and a very bright pin. I suggest the 55xx series. the 5500 has a .29 pin and the 5519 (my favorite) has a .19 pin.

good luck. HHA is a bit more pricey but WELL worth the money!

Thanks. I will go with the HHa. Now should i get the oL-5500 or oL-5519 or oL 5200x or ds-5019???????????????? :deer:

Looks like the onley difrenc with the sights are the pins. So which would be the best pin ?

I shoot a 5519. I had mixed feelings about this, because I wanted it for a hunting bow first, and a play around/target bow second. But the pin is just so dad gum bright that seeing it even in damn near total darkness isn't a problem at all.... so I went with the 5519 and I'm glad I did.

If you have any vision trouble ... any at all... go with a bigger pin. Smaller pins might allow you to be more accurate at longer ranges.... but a pin you can't see when you need it isn't very accurate at all.

the 50xx series sights DO NOT have the Rhostat (adjustable brightness)

the 55xx series DO have the rhostat

I like the .19 pins Methinks they even make a .1o pin also. never looked at it though.

I'd go with the pin size you like the best and the 55xx series. Dial or slider is another personal preferance. I like the slider.

Are theys sights not good for hunting ?

cartman308 07-31-2009 04:14 AM

these sites are EXCELLENT FOR HUNTING!!! Especially with the faster bows. I haven't even marked different yardages on the site on my Tribute. Have it set at 25 yards then hold high or low depending on how long the shot is. No guessing what pin to use! Just know your yardage and hold according!
