Any spot hogg users use the light or isit a waste of $20?? I do a lot of practicing at nite and was thinkingof trying one and does it get rid of the halo effect.

The light from Spot Hogg is a waste. For IMHO the best sight made right now, they have one of the cheesiest lights.

Now there is a guy in Ohio making an aftermarket light for the SH sights. I just got mine in the mail this week and it is just awesome.

Thanks for the info.

Another option you have is adding the extended fibers. Its very easy and makes a world of difference and it is just as cheap if not cheaper than adding a light.Here is a good link, check it out.

I'd try what buckhunter12 says. The added advantage of longer fibers is that the batteries, at $3 each, don't run down at the wrong time. One of the biggest problems with most lights is that when you need them the most, they actually make the pins too bright. Thus it's often hard to make out anything beyond the pins.

Something hardly ever mentioned is the age of the shooter. Old eyes see things differently than younger ones.

I have the light on my Real Deal, which ismounted on my 3D bow. I've had it over two years now and still using the original batteries. Reason? I just told you.

I won't even consider this sight for hunting. It's rugged enough, but the guard just doesn't protect the fibers well enough. It's too narrow. For hunting I use an HHA OL-5000 set for 25 yards.

I agree that most sight lights make the pins too bright for use in the evening, however the actual light used on this guy's SH light has 4 brightness settings. All the way from "burn my retnas out" to "barely visible". I have tried the light in the evening hours and the lowest setting provides the perfect amount of light to the pins. Not so bright that you are blinded, but just enough to keep the pins visible.

The issue I have with the extended fiber options is that during daylight hours the extra fiber length can cause the pins to be too bright as well.

with the battery and all how much of a weight difference is if any??

Not enough weight for me to notice.

I have the SH light on my Hunter Hogg it. It has best served me while target shooting in low light. In the woods it actually is too bright for my tastes and I have found that I lose sight of my target because the light is so strong. I love my Hunter Hogg It but at the same time the original fibers are not good in low light. I need to either buy the longer fibers or consider one of those adjustable lights mentioned above.

sorry for the quality of the picture.. But you can see... I've got a full 8 Inches of fiber added.. Low light is not a problem.
