hunting/3D sight
 

What do you guys think would be a good sight for hunting and 3D?

Spot Hog Hogg-it, Copper John Dead Nuts, Sword also make a good sight there are a couple of others but I can't think of them at this time:)

I've got a Spot Hogg Hunter Hogg It on my 3d bow right now, but may be buying the Hogg It with the extended sight bar before next year's season...

Montana Black Gold, Flashpoint

.019 pins
5 pins

I have the Viper Predator Pro MT. It comes with 4 pins....and I've added a fifth. Top three pins are .019......4th and 5th are .010.



I had the Hunter Hogg it and sold it to make way fro what I think is the best sight on the market.

I use the Hogg-it also, great sight.

Suprisingly, I am very happy & impressed w/ the Cobra Sidewinder Radiant. It is a great site..

On my hunting bow, which becomes my 3D bow as the season nears, I have a Viper Micro Tune. On my target bow I have a Copper John Dead Nuts 2 Micro Adjust Competition. If you want to shoot hunter class the Copper John is the way to go. You can fine tune it very precisely and it is a great sight. The Viper is a great sight too, but the pins are not micro adjust.

I really think the characteristics of a good hunting sight, and a good 3D sight are very different at least for me. For hunting, I want super bright, large pin guard to match a large peep, and a good sized bubble to be able to see when at full draw when lighting isn't ideal.

For 3D, I want VERY skinny pins that don't clutter the sight picture and will allow me to get pins very close. Depending on what class I am competing in, I want to be able to have as small as 5 yard pin gaps. For hunter class I like 20, 27, 32, 37 yard gaps at around 285-290fps, and for MBR I am shooting 22, 33, 40, 47 yard gaps at around 315fps. I need a sight that will allow me to do this while still being able to see clearly between pins. I also like for 3D to have a sight that is not so bright. Nothing worse than holding on a target on a sunny day and your pin fuzzing up because it's too bright. I would rather have really short fiber with a light to add my own if I need it. I also like a small pin guard for 3D that will fit a very small peep aperture and about an 8" adjustable sight bar to get balance, and perfect peep fit.

With that said, I still haven't found a 3D sight I like better than the Sword Apex Micro 3rd plane with .010 pins. For hunting, there are a quite a few out there that I feel are good, I liked the Copper John DN2 I had quite a bit, but still have a second Apex 3rd plane with the larger camo pin guard and will probably just use this for hunting this year. It is plenty bright, and has everything I really need in a sight for hunting.

I use a Sword on my 3D-hunting bow(I use it for both) My full time 3D rig has a viper. Both very good.
