Which sight for hunting?
 

Ok guys i have been bowhunting for many yrs, But! I am not really up to date on some of the new sights out.

I looked at spott hogg, viper sights, HHA sights,

I hunt from a stand 99% of the time in your opion which sight would you recommend for hunting?

RE: Which sight for hunting?
 

I personally like Tru Glow Extreme sights. They have a new one out that has micro adjust and camo. Mine has lasted for over 2 years and I am a little rough on equipment. You might want to check out some toxonics too -- great sights. I'm sure Black Stick will chime on about the more fancy sights, that is his department.

RE: Which sight for hunting?
 

I'm very pleased with the toughness of Montana Black Gold sights and pins, I have also shot my buddies bow with cobra and was very impressed with how bright they were. Two very good sights IMO

RE: Which sight for hunting?
 

I think that Spot Hogg is overpriced and you can get the same number of pins, birghtness, and a level with a different sight for less. Cobra makes a great multi pin sight called the boomslang. I'd get the 5 pin version. You'd like that a lot.

Personally, I use the HHA Optimizer-Lite Ultra DS-XL5519. I would only recommend this sight if you shot a lot of 3D. Shooting 3D with this sight will get you used to adjusting it for the yardages. If you are not used to adjusting it, you will forget to do it in the stand. Still, as far as single pins go, HHA makes the best.

I figured he would say something like that. I have heard great things about HHA. BEWARE: I have heard that the bolts rust rather easily -- seen several cases of it on AT. Don't let this deter you because HHA has had great cust. service and supposedly replaces the bolts or the sights quickly. Also a little bit of grease/oil helps a lot too i hear.

RE: Which sight for hunting?
 

I have only had mine for 3 months and the bolds are already rusting. I do not like that at all. I am looking for some stainless steel or aluminum ones to replace the stock ones before I send it in to get camoflaged. I am not going to grease my sight. It probably works, but I am just not going to do that.

RE: Which sight for hunting?
 

The HHA Brushfire is a great multi pin sight that is just as good as the boomslang. You would like both of those.

RE: Which sight for hunting?
 

They are about the same price. When you compare the 4 pin boomslang to the 4 pin brushfire. IMO, they are both equally good, but I like my HHA so much that I would probably go with the brushfire.

RE: Which sight for hunting?
 

The Boomslang is the first one and the brushfire is the second one.

Thanks guys for all your help.

What are thinking you are going to get?

RE: Which sight for hunting?
 

Well i have been looking around just getting idea`s[&:]

I really i like the looks of the brush fire just wondering does the the pins come in .019 size or standerd .029?

RE: Which sight for hunting?
 

Both. Go to their web site. If you read the bottom point of information, it says that it is also available with .019 fibers. That is what I have on mine.

RE: Which sight for hunting?
 

LOL i could have done that i guess:D

I will be heading to BPS this weekend or to my proshop to take a closer look at these two sights.

Thanks for your input.
Its nice to chat with someone to get a first hand review.

RE: Which sight for hunting?
 

You're welcome.

I have, over the last couple of years, been torture testing a number of sights just through our normal brush busting hunts here. This one has come out on top as the most durable in regard to staying locked in place and not having the fiber optics broken, it's easily adjusted for both setting the pin gap (allen wrench required) and making gang adjustments during tuning (no tools required) and it's light weight: Cobra DRM.

Next most durable:
Apex Gear Nitrous 6 pin (heavier, harder to adjust pins, can't remove excess pins)

RE: Which sight for hunting?
 

Tooless sights are nice, but more expensive. IMO, it is just a convenience issue in the range because I have never had to adjust my sight in the stand except for yardages and I always cary a set of allans with me regardless.

RE: Which sight for hunting?
 

I still like the HHA the best.
