    I've been looking at different sights for a while now and I think I have narrowed it down to two options.

    Both of these sights can be found for about $100 on Ebay so price difference isnt an issue.


    1:Trophy Ridge Clutch...I really like the specs/pics of this one but with it only coming with 10 sight tapes the chances of it have long one that works is slim.

    2:HHA OL 5019/5519...This one seems to be a little more expensive.Of course it has 50 sight tapes but it doesn't have 2nd axis adjustment while the TR does.

    Which one do you think I should get and why ?

    If you have a suggestion for another sight in the $100/$150 I would love to hear it.

    Cant pick for you but I can definitely vouch for HHA. Ever since I switched to HHA I have had zero issues. I had one time were I cranked on a bolt to much and broke part. I called up customer service and they had the part to me free of charge in 2 days. Their customer service is top notch. I'm using the OL-5519

    Mark IV | Copper John

    You asked, so I will suggest that you check out Copper John's Mark IV slider.

    I don't use their slider myself but the build quality of their Mark III is top notch and it appears that the same can be said for the Mark IV.

    Personally, I'm a little sour on Trophy Ridge sights right now. Not happy with the quality of the last one I had from them. However, that's a little unfair of me because it was one of their low enders and I got exactly what I paid for.

    I really like my XL-5519. Bright, tough (dropped my bow last week from about 6 ft and the sight is fine thankfully).

    Not that matters to everybody, but TR stuff is made in China. I also feel their quality is below other manufacturers like CBE, HHA, MGB, Copper John , etc.

    HHA and forget the tapes sight it in for 25 yards and you are good to go.

    I had an HHA and loved it. Switched back to multi pin for my elk hunt but will more then likely by another one soon. I wasn't a big fan of the slider so I'll get one with the dial next time.

    Made in the USA almost always means higher quality when compared to Chinese products.

    Whether or not the quality is worth extra money and how much is a matter of personal choice.

    Looks like HHA is the favorite.

    Truer words were never spoken. I haven't had to touch my HHA since I bought it 9 years ago. Shoots tacks!

    Yup. Found my Ascent Ambush on there for $90. Still had most of the tapes as well.

    You can get the 5519 on eBay for around $130.
