You know.. I was actually just about to post on this same topic.:) I hope I can get some honest answers on the G5.

I'm in precisely the same quandry......I was also looking at the G5 sight, but from what I hear, it's better if you can slide the sight out away from the riser, like on the Viper.

That is the one thing I do like about the Viper over the G5. Is this feature just so you can get your sight ring fit perfectly in your peep or does it help with focus sort of like parallax in a rifle scope??

If you want some photos or have any specific questions I'd be more than happy to help.

BTW I don't think the pins are near as dim as everyone is making them out to be.

For what it's worth. I can't say enough good things about the Viper.

No.. sorry atlas.. I am a Hoyt man. I think the Bowtechs are awesome, but my motto is "if it ain't broke don't fix it.";)

Let me know which sight you choose.

I don't have any experience with the G5 but I do have (2) of the Vipers and they are an excellent sight. The pins are very dim on the G5 sights I have looked at though and even though they bright, I replaced the factory fibers in my Viperwith Fitz fibers.

The pins are easy to change and if someone broke a pin onthe Viperthey were definitely doing something they shouldn't have been doing, they are very beefy stainless pins.

You saw the G5 in person and it was dim?

I wonder what the G5 would look like with a Fitz upgrade.

I don't really want my sight sticking out that far from a hunting bow like the Viper looks like it does.
Too easy to hit/hook/snag it on stuff in the woods or pulling the bow up to your stand.
I like my Trophy Ridge I have been using for the last couple years.
I will be putting a G5 on my new bow and see how I like it.

Those threads were part of my research into the Viper.......and in fact, propbably my initial exposure to the sight.

Thanks

What you did say has made me look at them more than a few times. Didn't know there was a fiber up grade.

Great bows.

So is mine.........I am resigned to buying another bow just for fun because my Patriot never fails the Pepsi challenge.

Definately.............this place has the G5 for $119.......cheapest I have seen yet.
