    Probably has to be set up specifically for your bow?

    I really like my 5 pin slider. That’s what I’ve used my last 2 set ups.

    Also, look at sword sights, I think the quality is right up there with Spot Hogg but for a lower price.

    How is it in low light? Seems like a lot of plastic filling up the scope..

    I like the single pin centered in the scope set at 20 yards. For the stands I hunt every year it’s perfect.

    I've never seen that - it seems like an incredible idea.

    I used a single pin sight for awhile, but went back to a multi pin (went from 4 to single to 5 pin), as I didn't like making the adjustments each time I had to shoot. A lot of the times when hunting in thick stuff I would have deer pop out at various distances and I would have to adjust my sight. I tried to "hold over" like you would a rifle with open sights, but that didn't work too well either. So, I would not recommend a single pin, but that's just my two cents.

    I like the concept but looks obstructive when you are shooting at a deer...I could be wrong though as I havent seen it in person.

    from the pic it would block too much of your view. you have to be able to see small branchs or brush that is in the flight path of the arrow

    So many options for sights now.

    Hoping to snag a Spot Hog Wiseguy release tonight if the bow shop has them in.

    My 2 cents on sights. I have a 4 pin sight, only use 2, 20 yards and 30 yards. I like to keep my setup simple because of hunting conditions not perfect like target shooting.

    Hint. Try shooting without the grip. Lotta guys remove the grip and place a single layer of athletic tape, Lizard Skins, etc.... the idea being a thin narrow grip only contacts a narrow portion of the thumb pad. Sometimes wider grips can induce torque, and well torque be bad, especially when shooting broadheads. Just a thought.

    Speaking of sites. I'm going to pick up an HHA optimizer lite on Tuesday. Thinking I'm going to like the single pin from what I am reading. Don't like the blockage from multiple pins and also get confused in the moment at what pin I need to be at, also not a fan of shooting the gap if need be. Worried about the adjusting before shooting and if the animal moves I'll have to remeasure but think it will be the way to go for me but who knows
