Bow sight

[Oregonbred]

Yep! Just saw it, thank you for your input but there is no way I’m dropping $625 fir a bow sight.

Don't blame you one bit. It's a pretty penny. Always find it funny how people will drop 1k+ on rifle scopes for their high end rifles, and call others crazy for wanting to get high end archery attachments. (Not saying you did but man have I heard it all )

My Hog boss is amazing. I used to have the one pin, but changed to the 5 pin and never looked back.

If you give hunting elk more weight than target shooting, the ezv bow sight is worth a look. It is not for everyone and it seems like the vast majority of people are not even interested in giving it a try. Knowing I had the confidence to put an arrow into the vitals at any distance out to 45 yards without the use of a range finder lifted a giant weight off my shoulders. No more ranging all of the sticks and logs where an elk might pop out and trying to remember them during the moment of truth. I describe it as instinctive shooting with training wheels. Additionally, when shooting a dot at 50 yards my groups were just as good or better than with my old single pin slider. An unobstructed view of the spot you have picked is awesome.

I know the owner gives a 30 day money back guarantee so you can give one a try. If you join the facebook group, there are usually ones up for sale for around $100.

Are these $100 for sale items in a classified section, as like the owners decided they didn’t like them?

That would be my guess. They aren’t for everyone.

I went with an EZV as of about a year ago. They are not for everyone but I can shoot it with both eyes open and that is a game changer for me. Specifically, they are not designed for shooting past 60 or 76 yds. I modified my elk hunting EZV insert (below) to incorporate the "trick pin" method by rubbing off the tic marks for 20, 30, and 40 yds leaving the 50 & 60 yd tic marks. So long as I know it is anywhere between 15 and 45 yards I simply put the 50 yd tic mark at at the bottom of the chest and the arrow will arrive 8-16" above the bottom of the chest which is a dead elk. Beyond 45 yds I use the tic marks. Deer have a narrower chest so I use the EZV on my second bow with all the tic marks intact. I may try and shoot without the tic marks for deer this year if I get a 3D target for practice. I do still keep a rangerfinder handy but certainly have more opportunity for a quick shot if need be with the EZV. If you want to try one, pick them up used for $50 or $60 off new on the EZV Facebook page - always a couple for sale.

I have both BG and SH. I sold all my BG sights except one and got a SH Triple Stack. The vertical pins are easier on my aging eyes (58). I can use the Triple stack like a single pin and still use the 2 lower pins and shoot accurately. No plastic in a spott hogg. The reason I switched to SH is I was on a backcountry horseback elk hunt in the Thorofare of Wyoming and my buddy had his horse lay down on his side while he was in the saddle. His bow was in a padded Cordura scabbard and when he pulled it out, his scope housing snapped off his sight. BG uses delrin (plastic basically) where the scope slides up and down. Luckily I tagged out the day before and I had a BG slider sight too. We were able to get his scope on my sight and he killed a bull 2 days later. After that I switched to SH. The BG pins are brighter, but that's the only advantage. A light solves that problem

Hi, I’m thinking of getting a newer/better bow sight. I have been looking at black gold brand but don’t now which one to get. I do know I’d like to have 3-5 pins (4 being ideal) and slider for those longer/follow up shots. I do have a short draw length (27”) shooting a 453 grain arrow going 271 fps at 65#. Looking for recommendations. Thank you in advance.

Love my black gold rush 5 pin. It's super simple and so durable. I highly recommend it. You don't have to spend a ton for this quality product.

Spot hoggs are nice. I run a spot Hogg single pin slider so there’s no chance of shooting off the wrong pin. Range & dial

I think a slider would have the advantage for a long range shot where you had the time to range, dial, and shoot. I have never shot the sight at crazy angles, but I know they are popular with tree stand hunters in the mid-west from the facebook group. The ezv has marks on the sides of the v that act as pins. I can shoot dots at known distances just as well or better than I could have with my old seven pin sight. I spent a lot of time last year shooting at 3d elk or a life size elk silhouette from unknown distances by framing the vitals with the v. It really does work very well after you get used to the sight picture. After about 45 yards the sides of the v become closer to vertical and it becomes harder for me to range with it. Usually when I am set up and call for elk I try to range markers that are at 45 yards. If an elk comes in inside of 45 I know I can ignore the marks on the sides and shoot by framing the vitals. If it is farther than 45 I probably wouldn't shoot or would use the marks as pins. I attached a couple photos from the 3d range of three shots where I would toss an arrow and shoot from where ever it landed ranging from 25 to 45 yards. I shot a life size elk silhouette in my back yard thousands of times from unknown distances out to 50 yards. It has a pop out vital, just like a 3d target. An extremely tiny percentage of my shots were outside the vital area. If only it were that easy on a real elk with your heart beating out of your chest.

Nice groups but aren't they in the shoulder blade? I just got a Delta MCkenzie 3D Elk target in and haven't set it up yet. Just trying to learn where to hit and not hit. No expert on Elk anatomy by any means.

I have had pretty good luck with my pins lined up even or just behind the front leg. These are shots from a little bow hunting simulator I have on my phone.

I've been running a HHA Tetra Ryz 3 pin for the last 3 years. I like it, durable as can be, sight picture is great, dials smooth and easy to find the yardage marks on their tapes. Only downside is it feels like a brick on the front of my bow. Once I upgrade bows this year I'll be looking for something else I think.
