Looking for thoughts on sights

[Nate L]

Been hunting with a single pin ever since I started, but more and more am leaning towards a a 2 or 3 pin. Interested in recommendations of what people's preferences are with the options out there.

I think you could do fine with Spot Hogg or Axcel. I've used the same few Fast Eddies for several years, and the one Boonie we have in the house is even better.

I'd have no problems with an Axcel Driver if I had one.

The Dialed sight is intriguing but I haven't handled one enough to be confident in how it is constructed.

Started with spothogg. Moved to black gold for pin brightness. Moved to option for the unique single/multi pin setup. Loved it but way too heavy. Have Axcel driver now. Brightest pins yet. Lightest yet. Best adjustability yet. Don’t know about durability because I haven’t had a season with it yet.

Spot Hogg Boonie and Axcel driver, I own both. Axcel is lighter and brighter and the Boone is more durable and better protected pin fiber.

I went through this just a bit ago and ended up with a SH Boonie. I really liked the size, weight, and head/pins on the driver but really didn’t care much for the lockdown. The only complaints I have with the Boonie is kinda hate adjusting SH pins and I wish I could get smaller rings for the MRT.

Spot Hogg fast eddies can be found used super cheap lately if you’re interested in that route

I have the Axcel driver 3 pin horizontal. I love it, but I’ve been eyeing a 3 pin vertical with independent pins like the pruf 3va recently. Might be worth looking at both pin orientations.

I suggest you check out the Option Archery sights, best of the both words IMO. I have an Option 4 and a Canyon Pounder have no reason to ever use anything else.

My fist nice sight was a dual track. I wanted more pins. I ended up getting a Mathews fixed 5 pin. Too many pins for me now. I think this year is going to be a boonie triple stack. I like the idea of the vertical pins that are adjustable independently.

I’ve used the accel and switched to the Boonie last year. A little heavy but very durable and very well designed.

Also, the Boonie is quieter

I own both and there is no noise difference

I have the Fast Eddie XL with 3 pins. While they adjust independently, on my bow, the most I can do is 20/35/45 on it. Faster bows would work better but I'm shooting 60 lbs at 26.5" draw. I was hoping I could get it to 20/40/60 but no dice.

I ran into the opposite problem with my dual trac. I wanted 20/30 but couldn’t get the pins close enough. I ended up with 20/34.

Dialed Pruf …

 

[danwattsmessick]

I have shot several sights in the last year to include the Axcel Driver, Spot Hogg Boonie, and the Dialed Pruf.

There were things I liked about them all, but after selling the Driver and trying the other two, I eventually came back to the Driver.

I prefer a single pin sight picture during the summer for 3D and TAC events. I prefer a 3 pin for hunting. With the Driver I shoot the AVX-31 .010 single pin in the off season and switch to the Accustat-II 3-pin .010 for hunting.

Since I shoot the same arrow setup for both 3D and hunting this allows me to shoot the same sight tape with both heads - I just have to sight in the additional 2 pins on the Accustat (only the first time assuming I don’t make any arrow changes in the mean time.)

I’d second @guylaga with Option Archery. I have a couple of the 4s sights. Here’s what I like:
- built very durably
- 3 fixed and 1 pin dials. For me I always know my first 3 are 20, 30, 40 regardless of where I’ve dialed the floater.
- no lock down lever to release. The system has enough tension to not move on its own but still be easy to dial.
- downsides - I’m sure they are heavier than some. I get about 90 yards max with my draw length of 28” and arrow speed of 280 fps. That’s farther than I’ll shoot hunting so it doesn’t bother me personally.
All in all they are good hunting sights.
