Microadjust all the way. I hated the days of trying to adjust a pin to move the impact 2" at 40 yards and your hand is shaking a little, the bolt won't slide, you push harder, and then it shoots way past where you wanted it, and you have to start all over. In my mind, it is worth is for the ease to make those small adjustments at longer ranges. If I didn't shoot past 20 yards, then it probably wouldn't matter as much.

I agree that microadjust is worth the money. I have the CJ Dead Nuts 2 Supreme Competition for 3d and it is a very well made sight. I just got an Extreme RT1000 for my hunting bow and I regret not opting for the Viper (I'm looking for a Viper now).

I like to precisely fine tune my bow so that any miss is shooter induced. I feel we owe it to the animals we hunt to make sure that we are as precise as we can be with our shooting and our equipment. So, to me, it is worth the extra to make sure that my equipment is as microtuned and sighted in as possible.

BTW, the CJ microtune is VERY nice. You can micro tune the gang adjustment and the pins. Not many sights offer that.

Just a shameless plug but anyone wanting to try the new copper john, I havea 6 pin comp modelthat that is nearly new that I would sell for very cheap. This is the one the highest end model they have right now and is super super super bright and microadjust everything.

I like the sight and it is awesome for hunting but I just don't need it right now during 3D season........if anyone is interested shoot me a PM. They are on backorder and sell for $165, I would sell this for WAY less than that.......

To help plug RJ's plug, that is the sight I have, and if you can get a "new" one for less than the going rate I would say jump on it. It may be the most well-made sight I have owned.

I will never buy a sight that is NOT micro adjustable. I love the Viper Predator Pro MT....to, the precision micro adjust is priceless.....
Count me on the pro-micro adjust side. If the locking bolt loosens the worm gear stops the sight from sliding out of position. A good feature when the airline gorillas are flinging your bow around often.
