Trophy Ridge
 

Just thought id give a few observations-opinions on the trophy ridge nitro extream 3 pin.
I recently purchased the sight when my pins broke on my old one. I wanted to give the vertical pins a try. I like this sight very much. I find the vertical design has lessend some of my error in shooting wide left and right. I also like the markings for the adjustment. For now i like the no tools cam lock adjustment for the individual pins. My concern with that is if they wear out and the pins begin to slip. I have not experianced this just a small concern. I also dont care for the tourque adjustment, just make it straitgh next time and ill put it on straigh, no need for more moving parts. I have this sight shooting very well and am pleased with the purchase. JMO

I have a trophy ridge sight I love it, had it for two years, I have one problem now though, I would like to light the pins up, but do not have a place to put nitro to light it, any suggestes how to light the sight. I have the 5 pin and did not come with any lighting system and I do not want to buy another trophy ridge sight. There is a open space on the under side to drill a hole a maybe put in a light in there. Any suggestins would be great.

BA--Trophy Ridge provides a light (PSE) and a plate, that bolts directly to the top hex bolt of your sight ring.
Here's a link to see what it looks like.

However, "I" have had problems with the PSE light and have since 're-threaded' the plate to fit the Copper John Afterburner light.
IMO--this combination is much better and works fine!!!

You'll LOVE your Trophy Ridge gear. I couldn't be happier with mine!!! :D

I am thinking about getting a trophy ridge and was wondering how exactly does the nitro light work?

RE: Trophy Ridge
 

The Nitro lights are little chemical sticks that glow when you bend/crush them. You know, like mini versions of the emergency light sticks or the ones the kids carry on Halloween? I would suggest using the Trophy Ridge blue LED light instead. This bright battery operated light as seen on top of my sight housing means all your pins truly GLOW for a perfect sight picture under ANY lighting condition. Well woth the $10 !!!

RE: Trophy Ridge
 

i get the glow sticks 2 for 50 cents out of a machine at my nearby super kmart .
cornfed ,where can you get the light for $10.00 ,they are going for 15.00 everywhere ???

RE: Trophy Ridge
 

I also love the Trophy Ridge sights. I have had mine for a little over a year. I don't think I will switch back unless I find something else that blows me a way.

RE: Trophy Ridge
 

try copper johns or toxonics then.

The new TR MANTIS is an AWESOME sight as well. I'm really enjoying shooting this sight as a movable. This baby will be great on the 3D range and the Turkey blind PLUS I'll be able to carry it to my favorite deer stand and be absolutely deadly!!! Do not overlook this incredible hunting sight.

Cornfed,

What kind of distance are you getting? I can get 0-37yards from 15-25ft up, i'm shooting about 260fps.

Thanks,

Cornfed always has the greatest pics. :) I am eyeing up that Mantis myself. I like the design and some well-respected folks are calling it the "next generation" of pendulum style sights.

I shot a trophy ridge matrix for a while but I didn't like the sight window with the vertical pins, esp. with the odd yardage shots. Such as 25,35 ect. It seems to block the vital area. I also did find that the pins lighted that well and in Montana you can not use artifical light on you bow sites. I switched to the Montana Black Gold Dusk Devil. The pins are very bright and it works very well at dawn and dusk. I have tried multiple sites and this one is by far the best.

IL-Cornfed,

I've been observing your photos from Hunt101.com and here as well. I have been looking to get a new sight for my setup for some time now and I am really impressed with the sights you are using. I am definitely going to get myself either the TR Mantis V-Drive or the TR Matix. The problem is which one to get!!
