Spot-Hog or AXT

[tangsrud]

I have ordered a new G5 Primal Shift LR bow...
Now...
I am in the market for a new archery sight - I am trying to decide between the Spot-Hog or AXT?
In the past I have been a fan of Spot-Hog, however, I have seen J.Peak representing AXT and I cannot help but to notice AXT's Optifade products!
For those of you have experience with both brands, what are your thoughts?
I am looking for a 5 pin set up like the AXT Primal XD or the Spot-Hog Real Deal...Below are links..

To me...its not a question. If you are going to shoot fixed pins...SPOT HOGG everyday of the year. I am Hunter fan when I run fixed pins.

those AXT sights are junk in my opinion and way over priced. go with Spot Hogg. Built like a tank and the adjustments are easy and they stay put.

What these two said...^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

No brainer.......spot hogg

Spot Hogg all the way. It sounds like one of your favorite features of the AXT sight is the Opti-fade. Not a reason to choose a sight. I don't think the AXT is junk, but it isn't nearly as rugged as a Spot Hogg. I'm with Evan, I like the Hunter models for the second and third axis adjustability.

I took a hard fall on my Spot Hogg - Tommy Hogg. All my weight with bow in hand, landed right on the pin frame on a big boulder (slipped on some ice). It was hard enough that I decided to hike over a mile back to the truck afterward because I didn't want to risk wounding or missing a big buck I was chasing. Surprisingly the impact was only off about 2" at 50 yards. Left a nasty mark on the frame, but dialed it right back in and went hunting. My weekend would probably have been over with a lot of sights. I've never used an AXT, but I can speak for the ruggedness of the Spot Hogg. Killed a deer at 76 yards the next day - 1 arrow.

I would look for a used Hunter Hogg it on Archery talk. They pop up all the time I have bought 2 a 5 pin and a 7 pin and the most I have paid is 150 bucks shipped.

Spot Hogg ... dang tough

 

[velvetfvr]

Spot hogg is the answer. Love them! Durable, easy to adjust and made from a company with a top notch CS!

 

[miller1]

For quality and durability you cant beat a hogg

 

[justin davis]

I am partial to spot hoggs. Very nice sights and tough as rocks

 

[tangsrud]

Wow, overwhelming preference for Spot-Hogg!!!
I agree with everyone that Spot-Hogg is very rugged, I have never had to worry about my Spot-Hogg Real Deal sight.
So...
I ordered a Spot-Hogg Hunter today!
Thank you all for your help in selecting a sight, I agree that just because the AXT was in Optifade it should not be my reason for choosing a sight. Proven performance and durability from Spot-Hogg is certainly well known!

Thanks again,
-Adam

Spot Hoggs are the best. But for the price sword sights a dang good. I dont like the pin adjustment as much on the sword but they are very nice.

I am selling a 3 pin Tommy Hogg RH .10 for $165 shipped. Only reason is that I have 2 and only need 1. Go with a Spot Hogg!

If there is one thing that should be on everyone's bow, it is a Spot-Hogg sight.

If there is one thing that should be on everyone's bow, it is a Spot-Hogg sight.

I could not agree more this this statement great sight. I have been shooting the same sight for seven years with no issues. I did upgrade the sight when the pin wrap came out. It has been rained on, snowed on, dropped, snagged on trees… and is still going strong.

Spott Hogg cam. hanes 7 pin. BTY, that was bad ass Darin.

 

[NWHunter]

Spott Hogg all the way. Great customer service and bulletproof sights. I have both the Real Deal and the Right On. I like the adjustment of the Real Deal but like the Smaller housing on my Right On. Hunting the brush of the Oregon coast I've never had a problem with either sight.

Another Spott Hogg fan here! Hogg-it Hunter, 7 pin, hogg wrapped with the new bullet proof pins... Bad A$$ all the way.
