Default New Trophy Ridge Items

Just an FYI for 2005 Trophy Ridge is releasing a couple of new sights, a new quiver, and they have recently purchased Rocket Broadheads and they may have a new model out but I have no details yet.

On the new sights they have a single pin sight in a ful metal housing that uses wrapped fiber and the VDrive system. This should make a great 3-D sight when teamed up with a lens! The other new sight uses vertical pins but they come down from the top to aid in long range shooting for western hunters. It also sports a metal housing, large bubble and I believe it can be powered by a blue led light as well.

The new quiver is very nice looking, it holds 5 arrows. I am not sure what is new with the Dropzones, once I find out I will let you know.

Cool. Only thing I'm betting is that since they are using metal housings, they will be extremely expensive. Look at how much they asked for those cheesy plastic models.

muzzyman88 - I have been hunting with the same Matrix sight for 2 years & have no issues....Actually I have 3 bows which have them & no problems. The only part that is plastic is the housing, the fiber optics, and the rubber that the dampeners fit into. The housing is very thick & would take a serious pounding before it breaks. I have nothing but good things to say about Trophy Ridges sights.

Sweet looking quiver. I dont think I would like the Rhino. I have the Matrix and it works great!

The rhino looks like the fiber optics would be easily broken the way they are exposed.

Just what we need. A quiver that is sure to retail for over a hundred bucks.[:'(] It looks cool but so do their sights and IMHO nothing but junk.

We sell the crap out of their stuff and people seem to like it a lot. I just don't get why someone would want to pay these prices for something that does nothing any better than the same items that do the same exact thing for much less money.

Plastic sights, pins that break, micro gears that are a joke and gears in the V-drive systems that are so terribly made you can sometimes get half a turn on them before the sight actually starts moving and then they feel like they have sand in them.

Bigbulls, I've never seen anyone on the forums that actually had hate towards TR like you do? Is it personal or do you just really not like any of their products! I have trouble believing that they are anywhere near as bad as you are saying, especially when you admit "We sell the crap out of their stuff and people seem to like it a lot."??? It just seems VERY odd that someone would be so negative towards one of their biggest money makers? Chill out man.

Before you start bashing the quiver, remember that many, many thousands of MATHEWS quivers have been sold over the years for the SAME price!!!

I'm not a big fan of their sights for the reasons bigbull mentions, but I must say that quiver looks cool. I wonder how easily it detaches? From the pics, it looks like it may be a pain. Maybe not.
