I am in the market for a new sight and considering the spot - hogg for my outback. Any thoughts if it is a good switch or what ?

I've heard they're really good sights. I myself use an Impact Archery Omega XL. Brightest pendulum sight I've ever used. It has a dial adjuster to move sight and frame up and down.

The problem I am having is that the pins are not real bright, well not bright enough for me. I want a good sight but not gaudy! I don't think I ve seen the Impact Archery Omega XL , yet.

Love my Copper John Dead Nuts Pro w/the afterburner light!!!!

I use a Trophy Ridge Nitro Extreme and bought the light attachment and wow does it do the trick. I had always used horizontal pins and the verticals were different at first but I think I'm starting to really like them. I probably would have gotten the Impact if not the TR.

I have the Spott Hogg Real Deal and although i really like this sight for 3D ,I didn't care for it while hunting ,it just didn't hold the light all that well .You can buy the light to mount on the sight . I also have a Impact Archery sight in which I'd highly reccommend for hunting the Cosmic or the Trio are both very good sight's and I have to agree with Stone316_74 they are amongst the brightest in the market today and they have a larger pin which hold's the light well after shooting hour's .

Copper John Dead Nuts

I am upgrading to a Cobra Sidewinder LX from a Sidewinder because of the level and the more precise adjustment.I like the Sidewinder because the pins seem so small and I like how accurate it is.I can hit a dime at 12 yards pretty consistently.

Don't think it gets any better than the COSMIC by IMPACT ARCHERY!

If you wanna go and spend a few more dollars go get EO-Tech Holographic Bow Sight I got one but, its costly and worth
it

Love my Spot-hogg! Best sight IMO. I've had no problems during low light conditions.

You cant go wrong with a Spot Hogg. Best made sight on the market. I use the .029 pins on my Hogg It with good results so far.

I agree with NUBO in that the Spot-Hogg is a really well made sight but just not bright enough for hunting. I have a Real Deal on my 3D bow. It works well for that. Those deer ain't gonna move in the dark.

I do take exception to the Impact sights and many others. I've been through all these things and one thing I have found is that plastic has no business on a sight. Drop your bow from a tree some day and find out. Plastic is for making toys. To that end I would look at sights with all-metal construction. My favorite so far is the HHA OL-5000 or 5500. This is a single pin-moveable sight that does not get moved for hunting. I set it for 25 yards and leave it alone. It's very bright, very rugged, and has micro-adjust for windage.
If you're more into a multipin sight then Cobra Sidewinder series are really nice. And they have a new one out for 2005 that has my interest. Worth a look and good prices considering that many sights with plastic cost near as much.

NO, for this guy plastic stuff is the junk of the industry. I've learned a little bit in over 30 years of archery. One thing I've learned is to buy very good accessiries. They will move to the next bow when I upgrade, and give less problems along the way.
