Hope everyone is well, was wondering if anyone has an opinion on a fix pin bow sight. Looking at purchasing a new one and wanted to see what everyone shot. Thanks J

I use a Spot Hogg Hogg it. I went with a custom 5 pin, green .19 for 20 and 30 yards. Red .19 for 40 and green .10 for 50 and 60. I like the sight, everything is micro adjustable pins are a little different to adjust but once you figure it out its easy. Once everything is all setup I never had anything move or come loose. Plus it also has a lifetime warranty incase anything happens to it

I have a spot hogg on my bow. Think it is the real deal model. Really like it, only problem is it's 5 pins, and only need 2 pins to get to 40 yards. So the other 3 pins just kinda sit there. But yeah it is a very nice sight, and the adjustments, oh man have I been missing out. The micro adjustment is saaaweeeeetttt. Think its only a $120 sight which really isn't bad compared to some that cost more than my bow.

I use a cbe tek hybrid. It's a 3 pin that's also a slider. So I leave it fixed for hunting but also have the option to adjust for longer range practice.

I switched to single pin this year and I went with the Axcel AccuHunter Plus. It was simple to sight in and is very accurate. I haven't hunted with it yet, but I'm very confident with it. Only drawback is that the level is very sensitive and I think it takes me longer to settle that in than with my multi pin sight.

When I shot a compound I believe one came with the bow when I got it not sure though anyway I took snips and cut all the pins off except 1 sighted it in at 20 yards and called it day. Never took a shot over 30 yards and the diff from 0-30 was minimal and still in kill zone. Not saying I never missed just saying I never chose the wrong pin :D

Simple.....Spot Hogg makes bomb proof sights. I've been using the Hunter Hogg It for many years and love the micro adjustability, and also like the vertical aiming wire.

I have a trophy ridge react 5 pin and have been really happy with it. I picked up the trio for my back up bow and to be able to practice out to longer distances but I still prefer the 5 pin more.

I agree! I use the tek hybrid pro and its awesome having the ability to have pins and a slider built in one site. In my opinion you cant beat the site for the options it gives you!

I would look on some forums for a used one, they are rather pricey new. Picked mine up for 150 used.

I use a Fuse 5 pin site that came pre-installed on my bow and my perfectionist side sometimes gets frustrated with the lack of micro-adjustability. I would appreciate being able to fine tune my grouping a bit easier, such as Spot Hogg seems to allow.
