New archery sight.
Tossing around the idea of getting a new archery sight. I am used to spot Hogg but currently am not shooting one. I shoot left handed as well. I was seeing what everyone is shooting for archery sights these days. I don't think single pin is a option for me.
But gladly would like to hear them all.

I have the tek hybrid and love it.
But, having never tried spot hogg and only hearing what others say about them, I would think spot hogg multi pin with dial would be my first choice on my next sight. And the tek hybrid would be my second choice. I haven't had any issue with my pins but spot hogg users say those pins are indestructible. Sounds like a good feature on a hunting rig. I would also have to compare the location of the dial and distance tape before making a switch from what I'm used to.
The tek hybrid has been great for me and accurate for dialing distances out to 100 yards.

You'd be going backwards switching from a Spot Hogg. I've had CBE tech hybrids, axcel armortech pro's, HHA's, trophy ridge, G5, and Spot Hogg still is the best out of the bunch imo.

I have most of the brands and spot hogg are good but I find them very heavy. I am actually really liking my new IQ sight micro adjust sight

I have been shooting with a SpottHog Hunter since 2001.
Nice sight and very robust construction.
Some of the newer models have brighter pins than I have on my version.
I managed to break my humerus this spring and looks like my days of shooting 70/80# bows may be over...doc says that it should be fine but the thought of pulling that much weight with this arm again makes me sick to think about.
So may be in the market for a new bow - doubt that I would change my sight though.

I haven't tried it yet, but I'm extremely interested in trying the Trophy ridge React 5 pin sight. Sight in your 20 and 30 yard pins and the other pins are automatically set for you. No tools needed and only a few twists of a dial and you are "supposed" to be all ready to go.

I use hha kingpins on my hunting bows, and imo they are the best single pin option, even compared to spot hogg, for a number of reasons i will not get into here. Yes, I have tried a hogg father.
For multi pin opton, there is simply no comparison to spot hogg. They are the best in that category, imo.

Personally, the Axcel Armourtech is the best sight I have ever used.

I went from a 7 pin Black Gold to a Axcel Accustat 3 pin (slider). Jury is still out...need more time behind it.
If i went to a fixed pin again, it would be a 3 or 5 pin.
