Take a look at the sight made by Extreme Archery,the Sniper model is a great sight.And if you don't care about the money aspect,the "Hogg It"sight made by Spott Hogg is a better sight,but a little more expensive.Both are very well made and very durable.You can see these sights at www.extremearchery.com and www.spot-hogg.com

I vote for the Trophy Ridge. I love mine, and it does everything I could expect.

Impact Cosmic. The only thing I would not reccomend it for is indoor paper shoots or 3D past 50 yards. It's actually TOO BRIGHT ( a problem I like to have during the hunting season<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> for small dot, hair splitting delivery. Check out HHA sights too....I have not used them but they look very interesting.

I did a review of the Trophy Ridge Nitro 5 pin sight a while back (I mistakenly called it the Flatliner in the report). Here's a link to it http://forum.hunting.net/bbs/topic.a...72&FORUM_ID=37

I would look form something other than the Trophy Ridge. It's still on my bow but I'm having problems with it moving when I shoot. I've tried everything and it still wont stay put.

Good luck

I've had an Impact Cosmic for about a month and I love it for hunting ! It is extremely bright! Haven't shot any 3-D yet , but I can get it to adjust out to 60 yrds .I'm shooting 308 fps though !

You have got to take a serious look at the new Trophy Ridge Micro Matrix. This sight is incredible for 2003. The refinements are impressive. From the improved lockdown (hex-head bolts inside the wingnuts on the same adjustment) to the Steel Tech pins, TR addressed everyones concerns and IMO created the ultimate fixed pin sight!!! I also have the 4x Feather Vision lens which attaches and removes easily making this sight one of the coolest for serious Hunter Class 3Ds. With the addition of a sweet little blue-light and a few other refinements TR truly has a sight for everyone this season.

I really like my Copper John Deadnuts Pro for 3D. It has the .019 pins. I think a better hunting sight is the Impact Cosmic Lite. The Cosmic works fine for 3D. The only problem is a class issue. Moveable sights are allowed only in the open class. If you don't care about that, I'd get the Cosmic. At local shoots I use mine and leave it set on 25 yds.

RE: Which sight would you recommend?
 
I'm in the market for a new sight too and just looked at the Cosmic Lite at their website. It looks like it would be very bright but can somebody explain the one pin to me. Do you have to adjust the sight on the side for distance before each shot at a different range? It seems like it would be more involved than just having more pins for different ranges. Plus I have enough stuff running through my mind when the deer appear I'm not sure I would remember to adjust it.

Can somebody explain exactly how to use it and its advantages?

HHA Optimizer Lite-It's a one pin, fiber optic, adjustable sight. It also has a light you can use in low light. I put this sight on my CyberTec and loved it so much, that I also ordered one for my Bowtech EX VFT! Check them out @

i use a ez bow sight it requires no peep and no kisser very accurate.i also shoot local archery competitions in the hunter's class and found out that its excellent for long shots also where torque is critical as it is in the deer stand when seconds count.won a few tournaments with it not to mention taken a few py bucks that with a peep i wouldn't have been able to shoot late enough or quick enough.a friend of mine uses the ez bow sight also with 30 mature gobblers and several py bucks to his name.very accurate and durable sight ez bow sight 800-331-7099

Cabelas, I set my Cosmic on 25 yds. That covers me to 35. Yes, to change the pin setting you have to loosen the screws and move it. If the deer are not coming in as close as anticipated, you could adjust it. Otherwise just hold a little over or under to compensate. Some practice makes this second nature.

cabelas4toys - See if you can find a local shop to try one out !! It is really simple to adjust. Out of all the set up's I've had (pedilums,...2,3,4 pin units)and with what I've learned from my hunting situations I like it the best so far !! With most modern bow speeds and a little practice you can get away with one pin easily within normal deer hunting ranges (30 yrds and less).
Did anyone mention it's briggggghhhhhhttttt!!!! LOL

RE: Which sight would you recommend?
 
So do you mark the rest somehow so that you know where your 30, 40, 50 yard positions are?

CBM SC 02-03-2003 01:24 PM

RE: Which sight would you recommend?
 
Yeah , You have to mark your yardage but it's easy to do !! I just made a small chart ,cut it to fit the provided space on the sight, and taped it on .I made some referrence marks under the paper in case it comes off. It has worked fine for me !

pdq 5oh 02-03-2003 08:20 PM

RE: Which sight would you recommend?
 
Cabelas, the Cosmic comes with a white sight tape. There's a pointer next to it that move with the scope. I make a long mark for even yardage (20, 30, etc) and a short mark for odd (25, 35, etc). Use a pencil so you can erase the marks, should you change your setup.
--- 35
------ 30
--- 25&lt;---
------ 20
This doesn't look right in the post, but it shows the idea.

HHA Optimizer Lite! One pin is great for hunting, simple and uncluttered. For 3D its adjustable. Great all around sight! The Impact Archery Cosmic Air Lite is very similar and also a good choice. Its really bright!

PRACTICE....PRACTICE....PRACTICE......SUCCESS!

RE: Which sight would you recommend?
 
That's very interesting, I've never thought about a single pin sight before. I just bought a new bow and was considering the Trophy Ridge Matrix but now I think I need to take a closer look at the Cosmic and Optimizer.

RE: Which sight would you recommend?
 
Cobra makes some very good sights. Depends on what kind of hunting you do. I like to go to Colorado and out west you need to go simple, rugged, and dependable. So I chose a mulitpin Cobra. The pins have flourescent liners so they light up and the dots are very small and won't cover up your target. Whatever you buy, I would suggest spending some money and get a good sight that doesn't require much adjustment.

of the sights you mention I like the copper john , had a trophy ridge and it would move, evan when I replaced the thumb screws with allen screws and cranked it down

We all have different oppinions , if we did'nt the world would be a BORING place

RE: Which sight would you recommend?
 
I used the copperjohn deadnuts hunter last year and think it is a great sight. It easy to adjust and as tough as they come. It has big allen heads on the pins and sight bracket. That big orange ring around the pin guard looks nice when their is a deer centered in it. I will be putting one on my new Mathews LX this year when it comes in.

try the scrape-juice e-z sight.i bought one this year and its awesome. i took 6 animals this year from 5 to 40 yards from ground and tree and its very accurate.it gets on target quickly and easily and works great.once sighted in it makes any shot that you encounter possible with great accurracy.

RE: Which sight would you recommend?
 
I purchased the 5 pin Trophy Ridge Nitro Extreme and have been extreeemely pleased with it. I will agree with one of the other comments about the brightness of the sight pins if you are practicing indoors. Other than that I think it is well worth the money.
