Trophy Ridge Nitro Extreme
#1
What do you all think about it? I' m thinkin about gettin one and using it next hunting season. I would go with the metal pins becuase I don' t want to take the chance of the plastic pins breaking. Are vertical pins better or is it just personal preference? Would it be very hard to switch over?

i' m on my second trphy ridge sight, i love it, but to each his own, i have read on this sight that they are noisy, never had a problem with the two i have had, just got to love it.

I love mine, for target and 3D this is the best sight I ever used, no noise but had to replace wing nuts with regular allan key screws (came with the sight), no noise whatsoever. The glow stick system doesn' t work for me. For low light hunting with those tiny pins, I would prefer horizontal pins

I like the sight. I would mention thought, that there are a lot of pieces that you need to ensure are tight. I had mine sighted in, then I found some nuts/bolts that loosened. That is my only gripe, but I basically like the simple adjustments.

I have a TR Matrix...the one with the plastic pins and .029 fibre optics. Love that sight....but I switched to a 3 prong Bodoodle arrow rest...which means 1 vane was facing up....the arrows had to be accurately aligned so they won' t contact the rest and won' t hit the fibre optic wires. Unfortunately one vane did broke a wire....TR had no problem sending me a new wire....kudos to them...even though it was my mistake.
I just installed a Spot Hogg Hog It sight on my bow....the Matrix will be for another bow (maybe get a new bow in 2 years)...with a shoot thru or drop away rest.
The Matrix had brighter pins due to a much longer wire that wraps around the sight.

Oh, forgot to mention....I only had that sight for 1 month...I only shoot on the weekends....about 60 shots per session, which means the sight (and new bow) went thru 480+ shots....I didn' t notice any moving parts on the sight. Although as stated by the people above....lots of people had to continuously re-tighten those bolts. On another site...someone suggested using lock-tite powder.
