I shoot Axcel Armortech. Prolly only sight I will ever use from now on as long as they keep making them.
I avoid Dick's and hope they fold.

I'm a single pin sight guy, and have been for many years now. HHA is what I just put on a new bow I bought last week.

HHA is a good single pin if you like single pin sights. For me I like multipin sights, one less thing to think about and perhaps have to move at the moment of truth when hunting or like some hunters I know miss because they forgot to adjust their sight when the big buck wa there.
Spot Hogg are perhaps the toughest multipin sights, Copper John are tough as well.
Trophy Ridge, TrueGlo, Apex all make some good sights and some that work but are not the greatest for sure.
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true Mainstream news might be fun to watch

For multi, I love my black gold. When I got it, the only sight that won't halo in bright daylight, and will last long enough to shoot at last light. All metal built, fully customizable and don't cost an arm and leg,

For the price it's hard to beat that great Texas based company Iv been shooting my 5pin for 6 years now and really put it to the test... im not easy on my bow what so ever... its been ran over, dropped out of a 20ft stand... twice.. and tossed into the back of my uv without a case just about every time I hunt... think it may have cost $100 and well worth it. low light is no problem I even shoot pigs outa nothing but moon light pretty regular FF to 1:40

Another vote for TruGlo. Britesite and TruSite are great. Also the Range Tover is used by a friend who loves it.

I'm a single pin guy and I've had a Trophy Ridge Drive, Trophy Ridge Pursuit, and I currently use an HHA OL-5519. I liked the Trophy Ridge sights, but I definitely like the HHA best of the three.

I bought an IQ sight this year and it's helped me quite a bit. I went from being comfortable to 30yds max to 60yds max. It's a good way to learn about how you shoot.

I'm an HHA fan, simple (once installed), sturdy, easy to adjust in the field. I think it has improved my shooting.

Check out the CBE tek hybrid. Multi pin and slider, best of both worlds. I have the 3 pin.

I've been shooting my HHA 5519 for 4 or 5 yrs now. I love it and would not go back to a multi-pin. Setting at 25 yds I can shoot out to 40 yds and would probably not take a shot that far on a WT unless everything was perfect but I do know exactly what my arrow drop is.

Depends on what kind of shooting you plan on doing.
Hunting out to 30 yards or less, I would buy a single pin. 3D shooting, I would buy an adjustable single pin. Hunting from 20-60 yards, I would get a fixed 5 pin.
I have the spot hogg and really like it.

I shoot a Trophy Rdge FireWire V5. I have gotten used to the vertical pin layout and have a hard time with the horizontal pins. The fiber optics in the pins are very bright and the sight is rugged and easy to adjust.

I still use a 4 pin Apex that came with my Bowtech Assassin. I took a lot of heat when I bought my set-up, but it felt the best of every bow I shot. Try a few sights out if the shop will let you and be the judge.
