SPOTT HOGG OR G5 SIGHT
 
I saw a G% 4 pin sight (3 fixed one adjustable) and REALLY thought it was a nice sight due to being able to dial in longer yardage for practice easily on the 4th pin.. BUT wondering how it does in real conditions. The one I saw was on a guys bow at a shoot... I read a lot of great things about Spot Hogg.....
I like to practice to 80 yards but like the idea of not needing to move pins or have 6 pins....

Id like to hear good / bad about both brands of these high end sights... worth it ???

Personally I went with the Spott Hogg Sight over the G5...which was my debate as well. Like the Spott Hogg alot more as it is well made. I went with a .29, .19, .19, .10 sight configuration.

I absolutely love my Spot-Hogg, I'm not sure that I need all the adjustability that the Hunter Hog-it gives me. You could probably do just as good with the Real Deal on a hunting bow, and you'll save about $50, or if you want to shoot to 80 yards take a look at the Seven Deadly Pins. If you get the Spot-hogg make sure that you get one with the wraps, it really makes a difference. Whichever oneyou choose check with MeanV he will get you an awesome deal.

Spot Hogg! Hands down!!

G5 might make my top 10 but they would be way down on that list;)

I shoot the G5 Optix ME ( 3 fixed pins and 1 floating ) , i was gonna upgrade to a Spot Hogg . I have never had any isues with my G5 and decided i was happy with it , so i stuck with it . The Spot Hogg gets good reviews , but when you concider everybody tells you to get the wrap too , it works out pretty expensive and for what ? . It does the same as my G5 and i get to shoot out to 70yds with the floating pin ( maybe more ) . The G5 is easy to adjust , the floating pins works on clicks and is easy to set . You get Little stickers to attatch to your bow where you write the distance to clicks ... simple :D . Mine is set at 50yds , 3 clicks 60yds and so on .

If you go for the Spot Hogg , see Dan ;) . Its your choice .

Bailsuk, I actually sell G5 sights also;)

Oz, not sure where the nxs falls in there since I have not got to put one to the test. From what I've seen I'm sure it will be well made.

Been using a Spot Hogg Hunter Hogg-it for the last 4 years and won't change anytime soon.You'll be hard pressed to find a nicer sight. I do however like the new Octane sights as well though. I looked at one a few weeks ago and they look a lot like the Hogg's.

I own both, however neither with the floating pin option. The Spott Hogg has the wrap. During the Prime hunting times Spott Hogg without question is the winner.
