Pick my new sight
 

I'm going with one of these 3 sights. Spot Hogg is not on my list..don't need to spend that kind of $$ for my sight. I also will most likely remove some pins when hunting season rolls around. I only use 2 pins for bowhunting deer. Pick me one.

(1) Sword Apex Hunter........4 .19 pins , no 3rd axis adjustment. Can add a light later if I want(not necessary IMO)

(2) Sword Twilight Hunter....5 .19 pins. 3rd axis adjustment with light, can take light off.

(3) Cobra DRM...................5 .19 pins, no 3rd axis adjustment

(1) Sword Apex Hunter

(2) Sword Twilight Hunter

I hear good things about Sword sights. I have never been impressed with anything cobra makes.

My personal choice in a multipin sight excluding Spot Hogg would be Viper sights.

(3)Cobra DRM (pic is camo, I want black)

RE: Pick my new sight
 

Dan, which Sword sight? Remember, you're supposed to help pick my new sight[8D]:). Actually I have a Viper sight on the Patriot, the 1000. Nice rugged sight, just want to try something different.

RE: Pick my new sight
 

I'd probably go with #2 of the Sword sights.

Dan, which Spot Hogg sight would you recommend that is similiar to the Sword Twilight Hunter? Don't need all that fancy microtune stuff.

RE: Pick my new sight
 

The Real Deal is a nice sight without all the bells and whistles of the Hogg-Its

I'd check on the price of a Real Deal first too, Greg... since you opened the door. ;)

Of those you have listed, I like #2 best. I just installed #3 for a friend's setup (first-time archer) and it was "OK".... but I'd think the Sword would be far superior.

SCBigBuckHunter has the Sword Twilight Hunter on his Guardian and he loves it. We hunted together almost every day this year and he had nothing bad to say about it and had no problems that I know of.

RE: Pick my new sight
 

I have a Twilight hunter and you can not buy a better sight for the price.You would have to spend twice as much to get a better sight imo.

The adjustments work super smooth and accurate.Dovetail vertical and horizontal adjustments.

I prefer the smaller housings and being able to get the 1 3/4" housing with the pins set the way I wanted is a plus.

RE: Pick my new sight
 

Curious, Todd... what size peep do you use? The reason I ask is that almost all of the hardcore bowhunters I know DON'T like the small housings (I actually declined to pursue a pro-staff position with a company because of that reason once). I know you probably shoot more target stuff though than the average guy too, though I'm not sure if you'd use the same sight for both...

RE: Pick my new sight
 

Remember my draw length is only 28" so I can use a smaller housing but I use a larger 3/16" peep. I also do not extend my sight housing way out like some either.

I prefer my setup this way and I actually do the same for hunting and targets.It works for me for both.

RE: Pick my new sight
 

I used to used to use a small 1/16" peep and center the pin for targets but I got tired of struggling for light indoors.I started using the larger peep and round housing for hunting and gradually made the switch and like it.

RE: Pick my new sight
 

The next hunting sight i buy WILL be a Sword. I have seen TFOX's twilight setup and really like it. Its simple, and seems durable/reliable. The price imho is unbeatable as well. Just by word of their customer service would persuade me enough.

Greg, I like a smaller housing as well. Im really not sure why anyone would want a larger one I like tobe able to align my peep perfectly around the sight housing when im aiming so I know im consistant. For hunting I use a larger peep for light purposes but I still thinksmaller is better... for me anyway.I believe this b/c when I hunt, it seems to help me focus on a "spot" to shoot on the deer instead of the surroundings.

I have the spott hogg real deal and its a very nice sight. I would have liked the micro adjust capabilities because it does come very handy, but even without it is a great site. I'm sure you already know, but those .19 pins will really fade fast in low light. If it were me I'd stick with the .29, unless this is just for a target bow.

RE: Pick my new sight
 

Because of this reason...

Exactly. I use a 1/4" peep, and my Hunter Hogg-It's 2 3/8" pin guard makes combines with it to make perfect concentric circles ...

Isn't that contradicting what you just said? [8D]

RE: Pick my new sight
 

I too prefer the larger pin guard. It provides a better field of view andcenters in mypeep without cluttering up the view.;)

RE: Pick my new sight
 

I've used a Sword Apex Hunter for the past two years and have had nothing but good things to say about it. Solid construction, easy pin adjustments, lifetime warranty. I believe Sword is located in Kentucky and have heard their customer service is great to deal with.

RE: Pick my new sight
 

Ditto that Dan, I like a 2" Housing, with my set-ups.

If I were picking from those listed, it would definitely be the Twilight Hunter, just make sure you get it in micro-adjust.

RE: Pick my new sight
 

check out the new nxs sight from octane looks great

RE: Pick my new sight
 

Oz, that is what I wanted to try but at $169, that is more than what I need to spend on a sight. I am sure its worth the money though.

RE: Pick my new sight
 

dont know much about them; for multi pin I like Black Gold Radiant, and for single pin, I like the HHA I bought for my 82nd.

RE: Pick my new sight
 

The twilight micro hunter is not micro adjustable,it just has the small housing.


The small housing fits perfectly in my peep.Draw length,peep size and distance the site is stuck out all play a major role in what size housing you need to accomplish this.

RE: Pick my new sight
 

Just bought a new Sword Twilight Hunter sight. 4 .19 pins and micro sight ring........thought I'd give it a try. Might order one .29 pin for the 20 yd. pin in blue.

Thanks for all of your advice/opinions:).

RE: Pick my new sight
 

#2!!

RE: Pick my new sight
 

Just mounted my new Sword sight and flung a few arrows. Don't have a peep sight tied in yet, but shooting without one it seems like the micro sight ring helps me hone in quicker on a spot. That opinion might change after putting on a peep, but I really don't think it will. All steel pins with ample fiber for brightness. TFox is right.......I don't think a better sight is available for the price.

RE: Pick my new sight
 

Sounds good Coug, how much do they run? I bet she'll kill a nice old gobbler for us. My advice on the pins, stick with the .019s for the top three and order an .010 for the bottom one.[8D]

RE: Pick my new sight
 

Ben, can't find any around my area. I really don't know why more shops aren't carrying them. A guy on AT sells the black Sword Twilight Hunter for $94 TYD. Picked mine up from another seller for $75.....brand new.
