How do you see your yardage marks in low light and how do work the slide at the moment of the shot?

If you can't see your marks (mine are all computer generated tapes) then you probably can't see to make a shot at 20 yards or less, not to mention further out where you would have to move it. It takes me less than 4 seconds to move mine if need be. Depending on the model, it's either a slide up and down or on my Ultra a geared wheel which works very smooth. Everybody likes different things, but after using every kind of sight on the market the HHA rear adj. sights are just the ticket for the way I hunt.

Thanks, Dan...good explanation. I am really leaning toward trying one, just wanted to elimate concerns. If I do decide to order, I'll contact you first.

So what you are saying is: that at a walking deer that you get to stop to make the shot you have to takeup to 4 seconds to shoot before he starts walking again?

If I am doing a shot out past 25 yards I have ranged the spot and know the yardage, and where to set my sight before I stop him. I face the Fact that sometimes longer shots are not a do-able situation, but then sometimes neither are close shots. Hunting a couple of years with this type of sight I can honestly say not having time to move the sight has Never cost me an animal, and the pin point hold deadon accuracy of this type of sight is worth the 2 or 3 seconds it takes me to move it when necessary. It's all about being familar with your equipment and it becomes second nature very quickly.

BTW, I watch Phil Phillips (Wildlife Point Blank) use his yardage slide and quite frankly that's what has me so skeptical. He appears to be late on his drawing at times because of fussing with the sight yardage slide. When I watch this occur I get the impression that he is missing shot opportunities.

That's Phil PhillipsBest system I've ever used and lots of others feel the same. I use a range finder 100% of the time. Why not have my sight set on the exact yardage. It only makes sense to me, but then I pick a spot when I shoot versus shooting by the Force

Boy I'm trying to fight buying one of these..........I can see the benefits but I'm so programmed to shooting fixed pins. Grrrrrrrrrrr.[:@]

I do know FOR SURE I will have one when i hunt WY antelope in 2009 again. I might just have to give it a try this season for whitetails though.

I don't know, I'm pretty wishy washy on it right now.
