Trophy Ridge Matrix
 

Looking at these sights and wondering what you guys think? Are they any good? I shoot a little 3-D also, should I go with the 19 or the 29 pins?:eek:

Great Hunting Sight.
There are better for 3-D.

If you search around on here, eders, and Archery talk you will find many people that are not satisfied with TR sights. Myself included.

You will also find many that swear by them but there are far far too many people that continually have problems with them even after they have been sent back to the factory for repair or replacement, sometimes multiple times and still they have problems with them.

It's your money and you can spend it how you want bit if it were my money I would spend it on another sight.

I have the TR sights and have been very happy with them. I have been using them since last spring. I have not heard of anyone having problems with them. Now that I have used the vertical pins I cannot and will not go back. I hope some of the people bigbulls talks about with problems post here. I would like to know what problems people have had.

I to have been very happy with my TR sights. My favorite model is the 3-pin .029" Matrix. The .019 just seem a tad to small for low light deer hunting scenerios. They're great sights, you'll love 'em.

I shot the trophy ridge 3 pin matrix last year and had no problems. This year I decided to put it aside and try the trophy ridge mantis pendulum. Boy was that a mistake. I took the mantis out, set it up, shot a dozen times-maybe, and put it right back in the pack. The problem? It sounded like a rattle trap. Awful vibration noises. My suggestion is if you want a trophy ridge, stick with the matrix.

The matrix also has the harmonic dampener system which is nice!

They are ok except you have to tighten them down really good, the one I had had both a thumb screw and the allen screw. Use the allen screw and thighten it up really good when your sighted in.

I have the matrix guide series 5 pin. I am a noob so don't have any experience w\other sights. So far it seems to be working well for me. I haven't shot over 30 yds, so I have only dealt with the top two pins. The micro-adjust windage\elevation is kinda cumbersome, you have to loosen the allen bolts, then you can use the micro-adjust, then tighten the allen bolts back down, remember to do it. Overall it is probably overkill for me and I could've gone with a less expensive sight, TR is proud of 'em, but you only live once. Get the thicker pins.

RE: Trophy Ridge Matrix
 

I have it and would recommend it. Get the .019 pins. I prefer the three pin. I actually have the five pin but I took two of them out.

Why not consider the Flatliner. It is much less expensive and still has the basic feature of the vertical pin technology. I have used it for quite a while now and am very happy with it. For me, it is much easier to use the vertical sighting than it is to use the horizontal and this sight offers a no-frills design that is much, much less expensive than the Matrix.

Live every day on purpose,

I use the Trophy Ridge Matrix with five .019" pins. I like the vertical pins better than my old sight with horizontal pins. My friend has one with the .029" pins and I tried that one first. At 20 and maybe even 30 yards I didn't have a problem with that diameter but when I practiced at 40+, it covered too much of the target. I don't have a problem with noise but I also use the allen screws, not the thumb screws. Once you get it set up, you shouldn't mess with it anyway. I found the glow sticks to be a pain in the arse so I don't use them. They get to be expensive also. This year, they released a small light that mounts to the top of the sight that is supposed to light up the fiber optics. I just picked it up but haven't had time to mess with it yet.
Bottom line is that I like mine. Are their better sights, maybe. Are there cheaper sights, absolutley. It's all personal opinion. Get a cheap one off of eBay. If you don't like, sell it on eBay.

I bought the Nitro Extreme, it splits the difference between the Flatliner and the Matrix in both price and features.

RE: Trophy Ridge Matrix
 

Stupid quesiton (I know, there aren't stupid questions, just stupid people who ask questions).

I have two RH Triphy Ridge Matrix sights (3-pinand 5-pin versions). Both have integrated sight levels. If I use the sight level, both sights would force me to rotate the bow a few degrees clockwise from true vertical. Is that normal?

RE: Trophy Ridge Matrix
 

I agree.............this site it AWESOME>......especially w/the LED light......can't beat it...............

RE: Trophy Ridge Matrix
 

I have had one on my bow for just over a year and by far the best sight I have every shot for hunting or 3D. Works great for those last few minutes of legal light in the swamp.
