Ordered my Pure Gold via the shooter program through black gold a few weeks ago.... still nothing, but Black Gold typically fulfills customer orders before staff shooters... Which is one thing that is so good about MBG (and ripcord and tight spot). They always put the customer first. Cant wait to get my hands on one. I opted for a custom with 7 pins. Coming from my ascent with 6 pins. I love the black gold sights and haven't been happier since switching from SH. Top notch service and rock solid sights.
I have always used archers advantage for sight tapes, sometimes it takes a bit of tweaking with the FPS (despite what the chrono reads) but have never had a problem getting one dead on within a few tries.
