Good review. I've been using a 5 pin Tommy for several years now and have come to love my Spot Hogg. While the elevation micro-adjust does make a click when pulled back or forth to unlock the yardage wheel, it gets broken in over time and does not make such a definitive click after a while. Mine is now barely audible. The micro-adjust may not make sense from a hunting perspective, but it is spectacular on the 3D course. I use it all the time.
That being said, I just took delivery of my new to me blacked out Hoyt Carbon Defiant Turbo last week and decided to look at different sights. I went to S&S online and spec'd out a custom MBG Ascent Verdict, custom MBG Pure, custom SH Tommy, and a custom SH Fast Eddie XL all with custom 5 pin heads with the top 3 pins being 0.19 and the bottom two 0.10 in a GGYGG color scheme. After taking note of all the price differences, I weighed all the design specifics and their estimated weights. The MBG Ascent Verdict was by far the lightest, but like the Pure, I really didn't like how far the yardage know stuck out the side of the body of the sight. I've dropped my bow while falling down a muddy hill on the local 3D range and slammed my Tommy hard right on the knob. No damage. If I did the same with the MBG Ascent or Pure, I'm sure that little know would be in pieces. MBG would take care of me I'm sure, but I hate being without my bow. So that left me with another Tommy or the new Fast Eddie XL. The Fast Eddie XL has the bomb proof yardage knob design like the Tommy, but it does not have the elevation micro-adjust. I thought about it, and I recalled that I have never used the micro-adjust in a hunting situation. Also, the Fast Eddie XL was lighter despite having a large dove tail. I liked the idea of a dove tail for getting the sight distance to my peep set up for a perfect sight picture. So I went ahead and ordered it with my custom sight pins and happily put in my Rokslide discount code (I sure wish I new there was a better code last week when I ordered it) and paid the bill.
After paying the bill, I noticed that it was a 4-6 week lead time. WHAT!!!!! I have to wait 4-6 weeks? I literally have my dream bow sitting in my weight room taunting me to shoot it without a sight and I'm like NO.....I need a sight. If I have anything to complain about thus far, it is the wait. I am almost one week into it now. I don't think I can last another 3-5 weeks.
