Trophy Ridge Sights

Anybody using this product and how do you like it. An acquaintance just got the Matrix sight on his new Hoyt and they seem like a great product. Very bright and no tools needed. Just wondered if anybody had any problems with them or comments about them.

I have had one on my bow for about 3 weeks and just got done shooting from my stand and i love it. The no tools thing really helps me out alot and when i get lazy i tend to strip out allen screws. Overall a great sight but i do wish the pins were metal, guess il just have to be careful
Me and my G2 is all I need to succeed in life.

I had one "Flatliner Extreme" and started to NOT like it the more I shot it........the novelty of it wore off pretty quickly for me.
There was just something about no "Air" between the pins that was more distracting for me than helpful.
Made gap shooting impossible, and shooting at spots with anything other than the top pin a pain in the butt.
I do like the idea of a single "up-pin", and have a green up-pin adjustable on my fastest bow...... but turned out not liking the stacked style of the Flatliner.
Also the windage on my Flatliner would slide a few marks every few shots ,even on a bow with little vibration......I got fed up with it and took it back in favor of a conventional pin sight.
I now shoot Copper Johns on my 2 main hunting bows and find I like them MUCH better.
Remember other than the movement problem......the reasons I didn't like it were simply personal. It might just be the sight for you?

I have the flatliner and love it. It will move with vibration if you don't tighten the thumb screws good and tight so it helps if you take a pair of pliers and snug it up a 1/4 turn after you get it finger tight.
