Default HHA or Vital Gear ?????

Hey guys and gals, I'm looking to change up the site on my Hoyt Vectrix and was looking for some input. I have somewhat narrowed it down to Either an HHA Optimizer-lite 5500 .029 or the Vital Gear Angular Startrack .29. Both are sigle pin/slide adjusted sites which is what i want and both are around $125. I kinda like how the pin is a little off to the side on the Vital Gear, I feel like it may not block as much of the target. I currently have a Impact pendulum site, that i must say hasn't been horrible. I have gotten use to using a single pen for a long time now, and my Vectrix shoots so flat I don't have to adjust much till out about 40 yards, then I'm just kinda guessing. And with the movement of the pendulum there is always gonna be a little vibration and noise. Any input or advice would be well appreciated.

Have the HHA Optimizer on my Hoyt. Very good in low light,everything locks down solid and built like a tank. Hard to beat.

I'll second that, and add that the Rhostat (however HHA spells it) is a friggin nice feature! I do like the angular pin on the VBG BUT i like the build of the HHA better.

Thanks for the Input Blckpowder and Cartman!!! I've always heard that HHA sights are like cast iron skillets, just flat out hard to beat, if only they'd move that dang pin over just a hair to the right I think it would be the hands down winner

I disagree! Vital Gear has the brightest sights on the market, and are as simple as you can get. I won't shoot anything else!

Thanks for the input fellas. I'm guessing both company's make a high quailty product, which is what I kinda figured. Something about that vital gear startrack has got my attention and I think the only left to do is to give it a try! Let you guys know how it turns out, gonna try to pick one up this weekend
