Anyone use these? Good? Bad? What're your thoughts?

I love them. I had two MBG Ascents.

But went to HHA single pin dialing sight. But now probably going back to MBG... only... because i want to shoot MBR 3D.

We ordered a custom MBG RUSH sight for the wifeys new bow. Shes looking forward to it. Quallity sights.. u cant go wrong with them. Pins are sturdy ....... nice and bright. The brightness automatically adjusts to brightness or darkness.

I've got the multi pin model with the dial adjustment. My only complaint is the noise, I had to cover it with stick on limbsavers to get it to stop sounding like a tuning fork.

Something not right there!!!

On pins themselves they have a second allan key nut on the pin slide that have to be snug there are two but one is not as visiable......maybe they are loose?

I'll have to take a look, that could be the problem. Thanks

just bought a pure gold 75 4 pin sight. It was pricey but it is nice. Hopefully it works as good as it looks.

I love the mbg sight I have and it's the low end model. Can't imagine having a reason to ever get another brand. Bro has a nicer mbg, and I'm eyeing up the multi pin ascent. The pins adjusting to light/darkness are outstanding.

I have the single pin ascent ambush. Love the sight. Have used it for 2 seasons and have had no issues. I did get the rear facing sight tape and glad I did, but I think it may be standard on the new sights. I never did use their tapes that they provided just made my own.

I have a 5 Pin Ascent on two of my bows and really like them too. I found the tapes to work quite well ....I marked 20 and 60 on a blank tape then found the one that matched perfect and applied the tape I can dial out to as far as the tape goes which is 110 buy have dialed various distances and they work perfect out to 100 (furthest I have tried)

I own a 7 pin Vengeance with a 2 inch "big dog" housing. I've had it for a few years now. Pins are bright but pins seems a little thick for me, especially with 7 pins.

Had a issue with one of my pins, not moving horizontally, sent it back under warranty. Black Gold fixed it no questions asked. While it was there has some fibre colours changes, minimal costs. They have great service.

I am looking a getting the new Pure 75 Gold.
