New sight suggestions

The time has come to part ways with the Vectrix and a new Maxxis 31 will be accompanying me from here on in! Problem being, I am not sure what to put on for a sight yet.

Looking for some feedback, good or bad, about sights some of yous are using. One that I have given some thought to so far is the Apex Nitrous... any one with some first hand experience on it?

Appreciate the info

Just recently got a new G5 optix with the 3 plus hybrid 4th pin and love it. Only been shooting up to 40yards with it so far but the floating 4th pin will come in handy for the 50 to 60 yarders eventually. The G5's seem to be top notch quality and have nice features on them in my opinion.

Try the new Rellik by Athens Archery sight, comes with option of pin size,.010,.019, and .029. Every pin has a micro adjustment with no tools required, and a zero pin capabilities.It has second and third axis adjustments and comes standard with 2 lights, one on the top and one on the bottom.Also you can choose your pin colors and the the whole sight color as well.

Ike's Hunting has actually done a great review on the the sight on you tube.

I just got the black gold amp sight on my bow and love it. The housing is a nice size for centering in your peep. Also the pins are a good design to help save your fiber optics from getting snagged on things as the optics actually bend around the back of the pin.

i'm going to try an axcel armortech for next bow, pricey though, looks like built like tank, fully protected pins, every kind of adjustment and looking at one at basspro the 0.010 pins looked awesome, so i gave them a shout to see if i could custom order in pin configuration i wanted and yup, so an 8 pin is on way, first four pins 19 thou with last four 10 thou, and all of them green except the fourth 19 thou will be red so i have a middle range counting marker

i run 8 19 thou pins now on my modded cobra sidewinder lx alternating green/red and my math/counting works off four pins at a time...odds/evens so that system of finding the right pin in a hurry works great too but i think i'll like the one red one in the middle to reference the mid and long distances not to mention the two different sizes of pins will help keep it quick too

the other one i was looking at was the viper h-1000 as the 10 thou pins looked good in this one too and i would have ordered enough extra pins to configure the same as what i'm doing above

I have one of these sights and they are bar none one of the best out there.

I have a Spott Hogg seven deadly pin on my APA Mamba X2 and love it!!!!

I run a Spot Hogg, on my rig.Some of those links are pretty intresting though, but i'll stick with what I know, it's strong, and put together right.

I have been looking at sights for my bows and have heard good reviews on spot hogg, hha and black gold. I have a G5 5pin and for the money I'm not overly impressed and I have a truglo which literally fell apart while I was shooting. I'm looking for a used spot hogg, hha or black gold for now until I decide which one I want to buy new. If anyone has one let me know. My pse xforce ss and hoyt maxxis 31 both need new sights.
