Default What Do Ya'll Think about Trophy Ridge?

I've been looking at the Trophy Ridge Matrix sight and I was wanting to know what experiences ya'll have had with them. Should I get one?

IMHO, there are better designed products on the market. Way too much crap going on, simplicity is king in the deer woods, again, IMHO.

If you are looking for an adjustable Vert. Pin sight, check out Vital Bow Gear. Much simpler deisigns, and all aluminum construction make them a better hunting sight IMHO....

I would 2nd the opinion about the trophy ridge sight.

Seems like an awful lot of money to pay for a sight that is mostly plastic.

For the same money there are some awesome all metal sights out there.
Vital bow gea is one, so is Copper John and Spot Hogg.

I just got back from the pro shop with a new Dusk Devil sight. I'm debating whether or not to put the old sight, a TR Matrix, on my wifes bow or just throw it in the trash. Guess how I feel about TR sights.

I shot one for awhile and liked it just fine for a one pin sight. I did not like the sights coming up from below when trying to use the down range sights. It seemed to block my view of the target, be it animal or paper. I prefer the traditional pins to the vertical.

Trophyridge makes great gear. I have great luck with their products and don't plan on switching. I use their sights, quizers and stablizers. No complaints.

Ive been using Trophy Ridgesights for years and can only say good things about their product unlike several other sights Ive used in the past. I guess if you cant afford them or just dont like the product thenthere are tons of options.

Second what ONbuckhunter says. I've had a TR Nitro Extreme and loved it. Great sight that served me well. Have a TR Rhino Guide series on my new bow and couldn't be happier. Almost all metal construction. Well built. Easy adjustments. Won't go back to horizontal pins. I looked at a lot of sights and, to me, most of the others seemed cheaply made. Yes, TR's are expensive but like most everything, you get what you pay for. There are a few that I thought comparable - SpotHogg, some of the HHA, etc., but the TR suited me fine. Look around. Get what you like.

I tried the micro matrix a couple years back. I just couldn't get comfortable with it, especially in low light. I am now using the Copper John and it works well for me. I hear a lot of guys, like above though that love the Trophy Ridge sites...
