Axcel Driver Sight

[Whisky]

This sight seems to be getting a lot of attention this year. I know very few have been distributed thus far, just curious if anybody on here has had a chance to use this sight yet? Or what the general thoughts are? I've never owned an Axcel sight before. Always been Spot Hogg and Black Gold for me. Thanks

Can't speak to the Driver specifically, but they are very high quality sights. Ive got a Landslyde, which I wouldn't replace with a driver. Also have a 7 pin Armortech fixed pin that is over 10 years old and still rock solid. If you want rifle scope quality archery sights Axcel is the way to go. I'm sure the Driver is a great sight, but just has some ergonomic tweaks over the Landslyde (Which was also extremely hyped when it came out.)

The driver is very lightweight. In every other way the landslyde is still better. I personally don't like the windage being on the inside, and the bridgelock mount is really close to the riser. It's no as tough as the boonie which is a great sight this year as well

The Boonie is another sight near the top of my short list. I've never looked into the Landslyde but now I wish I would have checked one out at Scheels. I am looking for a 5 pin sight. Custom pins.
Thanks

I’ve had my driver for 3-4 weeks now. It’s the nicest sight I’ve owned. Of those I’d go
1.) Driver
2.) Fast Eddie XL
3.) UV Slider gen 1.

- First of all, it’s tiny. What smaller than your guess looking at it online. Not a bad thing, just surprised me.
- The zero stop is a little thing, but never having had one, he’s really nice.
- The windage knob is a complete non issue. Once you get zeroed, you’re never touching it again.
- Pin brightness is really good.
- I haven’t gotten it outside to test the sight tape system yet tho. Waiting for some nice weather here in MN.

@KickinNDishin is reviewing Hoyt's new short draw bow and grabbed a Boonie for it. We have three Fast Eddies and the Boonie is a big step up. She's already swapped mounts easily, the wheel adjustment has come in handy, the slide for the indicators will cover all five pins, the brake is a big upgrade.

I don't know much about the Axcel sight, but there's nothing to fault with the Boonie. I think @S&S ARCHERY @S&S Archery (Rob) can do custom pins in a Boonie.
