Can I get some opinions on the ascent verdict sight, single pin specifically Sent from my SM-G950W using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
I have a pair of verdicts in three three pin version that I had build. They been from the sub arctic to the Mexican boarder in hunts with me in the last two years. They are a high quality light weight sight.
I just put one on my bow. Haven't hunted with it yet. Turkey season will be my first season with it but so far I'm liking it. I shot through chrono at the shop and put that tape on it then sighted it in at 20-60 and it was the right tape.
Have a 3 pin. Used it for about 4 years and it developed a rattle. Ended up having to send it back to BG 5 times before they finally got it sorted. On the one hand I really liked the sight but on the other I am very annoyed they took that many times to figure it out.
Did the rattle turn out to be the fibers in the photo chromatic case? I would hear them when I shot but couldn't get it to rattle by shaking it. Took forever to figure it out.
No it was something to do with the dovetail where the housing is mounted to the derlin rail. They basically replaced everything one at a time and would send it back to because supposedly they couldn’t hear it. Finally they replaced that and it was fine after that.
I am a big fan of Black Gold sights. I recently had both an HHA XL-5519 and Black Gold Ascent single pin. The HAHA was brighter but I like the forward wheel of the BG much better, I liked not having to use spacers for close quiver mounting, and it just looks better to me. But I would take either again without question.
I have owned/shot one for two yrs now, awesome sight!! No problems, easy adjustment, the photochromatic housing works well for outside shooting and have found no need for a light indoors. Overall very well built and would recomend.
