Spot-Hogg! Any model. They are all aluminum, no plastic.

I'll second the Spot Hogg. Unbelievable quality and the best built sight on the market.

For a lot less money, the Copper Johns are an excellent choice as well. There seems to be a lot of good hunting sights these days though. But IMO, if you want the absolute best, go with a Spot Hogg

I use the Spott Hogg Real Deal as well and although it's a very solid sight ,I prefer the Impact Archery Cosmic for hunting ,it's a single pin that's as bright as your gonna find on the market today .I wasn't struck on the Spott Hogg for hunting because I feel the pin's just don't hold the light very well and found myself leaving my stand 20 minute's early in the evening's .You can buy a light for the Spott Hogg but why spend another 24.00 when the Impact Archery Cosmic can be bought off of e-bay for 35.00 or 40.00 total. and that's only a third of the price of a Spott Hogg.

Here we go again. I agree with those who say "all metal", especially for hunting. I also like something that is very bright, micro-adjustable for windage. For me that meant the HHA OL-5000. I set it for 25 yards for hunting, but have the ability to move it for 3D and long range practice. Another advantage is a single pin. It keeps the sight picture uncluttered and I can't pick the wrong pin.

I do like my Spot-Hogg Real Deal for 3D, but it just isn't bright enough for my old eyes for hunting. Yeh, I know I can put a light kit on it. I do have it on. But I don't need to be turning lights on and off, or replacing batteries any more often than necessary. And you need to price those batteries. Almost $3 each at Radio Shack (the sight holds 3).

I vote for the copper john to. I love my copper john. I like the cup they make that no other sight company makes. It has spring loaded henges. That way when you are walking you keep it shut so twigs and stuff wont hit your pins and break them. Then, when you come up on your game you easily open it with spring loaded henges and shoot you animal. I also like the light. You can get a light for most sights but it is a nice thing to have for when you are shooting indoors and in dark areas. I think both Copper John and Spot Hogg make the 2 best hunting sights. I perfer copper John firs though.

COPPER JOHN

I have to agree with the others. Copper John makes a very nice sight at a reasonable price. I also like the afterburner light that can be used at dawn and dusk.

check out vital bow gears sights!

Your all wrong but one the best absolute best sight is hha optimizer 5500. All alluminum as others say but can see the pin at midnight no bullsh*t. THe one pin unclutters the picture and as said above it clears the sight picture. I have the 5000 and it has been trough hell and the only thing wrong with it is nothing. If you want you can get a sight thats only good for hunting daylight like the copper john with most having 2inch fiber optic or five feet with the 5500. Not a tough choice is it.

i dont want a huge sight on my bow

primetimearcher 02-13-2005 07:49 PM

RE: Who makes the besthunting sight?
 
THe hha sights are small mine is about 3 maybe 4 inches past it not a big sight. the whole sight is covered in optic the outside ring. Also just remembered it has a cover on it so if you are indoors the pin doesn't glare. You can adjust the pin brightness to perfection.

I agree with Fisher. HHA 5000 series. Brightest sight on the market.
