    I like my HHA single pin. Dont have the clutter of multi pins and i cant practice out further. Though my max hunting distance is 45-50 yards.

    Just ordered a Montana Black Gold Ascent Ambush. Single pin sight and completely customizable with colours and everything really cool and way cheaper then the hha or spot hogg single pin sights. Also the sight tape goes to 100 yards so you can practice from max distances and those other ones only go up to like 60. Ill tell you more about it once it gets here and i shoot it but I've heard great things about it.

    I have the Spott Hogg Real Deal 5 pin. Sight all the pins in and then you don't have to worry about adjusting a single pin sight at the last second. The name of the sight fits it perfectly it sure is the real deal!

    I don't know where you bought yours from but the ascent is more expensive than the HHAs and if you customize it, more expensive than the spot hoggs which are far superior sights in my opinion.

    Trophy Ridge React 1 pin or 5 pin! I have had both and was very happy! I currently shoot the 1 pin.

    I love my HHA single pin. I have it set at 25 yards and can shoot out to 45 without moving the slider

    Black Gold Ascent. I have the 3 pin. I custom ordered it with 2" housing, rear facing tape, and 0.019" pins in the color combo I wanted. Less than $200 and one of the brightest sights I've ever used.

    Actually the hha optimizer light ultra is 225-300 the spot hogs are anywhere from 192-345 these are off the websites and single pins of course and the mbg ascent is 179 off of custom black gold sights then you can customize it. mine was 200 after making it how i wanted it for how i hunt and shoot regularly. So its a better value to get a black gold sight. imo anyway

    obviously it depends what model you get from both cause there is the cadet from hha and cheaper models that the boss hogg for spot hogg but all I'm trying to say is that black gold ascent is the best bang for your buck imo because you can fully customize it and they are still amazing sights.

    You can get tommy hoggs for 160, boss hoggs for 180, and the HHA optimizer ultras for 190. All of which I believe are superior to the MBG.

    I currently have a Trophy Ridge 5-pin. I'm dialed in out to 60 yards, the farthest away I feel comfortable shooting a deer. Single pins are awesome for practicing at distances, and I do go back and forth on my next sight being a pin or multi-pin.
