Any more updates or thoughts on the sight?

Hey guys,

I just got one in and will be putting it through the ringer over the next few days. I'll have a review posted on our blog early next week. They are shipping super fast, and we can do custom configs as well.

Let me know if you have any specific questions you want me to address in my review and I'll get them answered. So far we have been VERY impressed with this company and their products.

Look for a review of the Smackdown Pro and the Quivalizer as well.

Here is my review:

Rob, great review. I'm planning on trying one after reading a few others. Do see a problem with lining up a 1/4" peep with the oblong 8 pin housing? I think I'm going to want the larger housing to get some distance on that adjustable pin.

 

[S&S Archery (Rob)]

Well that's where the dovetail will come in handy. I don't think you'll have any problem.

What's the difference from base model to platinum?

I think I'll stick with my hogg it.

I might have missed something but does the slider pin housing move? Or is it fixed?

Housing is fixed. Slider pin moves within the housing, hence, some are concerned not enough travel to get out to 100 with the standard housing.

What's the difference from base model to platinum?

The Platinum Option sights are 100% made in the US, where the standard Option is imported. The Platinum has titanium pivot pins on which the swing away housing moves vs the standard Option sights are stainless steel. Also the Platinum is made from 70-75 aluminium where the standard is 60-61.

I picked one up from Rob and love it so far.

Just got one. Great sight!

I am trying so hard not to buy one. The only thing keeping me from ordering one is the fact that the housing is stationary. So depending on your bow speed you can probably only sight the mover in to 70-100 yards

I can get out to 122.

One thing to consider is the 8 pin housing is larger and you can order them with just just 6 pins. That's how I ordered mine and though I haven't really tested how far I can take it (it's on a completely new bow that will be getting new arrows) out to at 60 yards I still have a ton of room on the bottom end to really extend my range.

Lots of guys question the oblong shape of the sight housing on the 8 and how it fits in your peep. Theleo91386, can you speak to this?

How does the oval shape line up with the peep? I like the idea of this site just not sure if I should go with the larger oval or the round!

Rob you must have been the guy I was chatting with on your web page!
You just got it posted fast than me!

I will put in my 2 cents on the option 8 housing. obviously if you center the pin then there won't be any issues. But I do not. I went from a 3/16 peep to a 1/4 and the top and bottom of the housing are a perfect match for my 8. That is at a 26.5in dl so you long draw guys will be able to use a smaller peep and still align the housing with out issue.

 

[muledhunter]

also At 26.5 in dl i can get 115 yds on the option 8 with a 460gr arrow at 278.
