    I just switched to an HHA this year.

    HHA Optimizer Lite Ultra model # HHA DS-XL5010
    .010 pin -- I like the really small pin. Aim small, miss small. Really helps out to longer distances
    2" housing -- I like the large field of view in the sight
    3ft of fiber -- Plenty bright in low shooting light

    HHA or Black Gold. I have owned both and they are both excellent sights.

    I own the HHA optimizer lite and think it is a solid sight.

    I looked hard at HHA, Spot Hogg, CBE, and Montana Black Gold this past offseason.

    Ended up having S&S Archery build me a customized 3 pin MBG Ascent. Steve Speck, the owner, was unbelievable in guiding me through the various options.

    I really like HHA but I know BlackGold has excellent customer service and makes a solid product.

    I'm in the market as well. Hear great things on the HHA models. Cabelas has a the axcel accutouch sliders at a pretty good discount. Might be worth checking out

    I switched from a multi-pin to a single pin this year. I chose an HHA King Pin and have been extremely well satisfied. Built like a tank and has made me more accurate.

    I have an HHA dsxl 5519. It is very hard to imagine anything built more solid than that thing. And I will tell you from first hand experience, their customer service is top-notch!

    I really like the HHA sights. I personally have switched from a Spot Hogg, Hogfather sight to the HHA Optimizer Lite Ultra model.
    The spothog is great, but adds quite a bit of weight to my bow and can be hard to balance.

    I love my Apex Covert. It has an interchangeable pin, either .10 for more target shooting, or .19 for more light when hunting. Just don't make the same mistake as I did when I started shooting a slider pin. If I was shooting low, I would move yardage up accidentally, because the lower yardages are at the bottom of the tape, but this was before I had the tape with the distances on it. So that wasn't a problem after I got it sighted in.

    I have the Black Gold Ambush Ascent. I love it, easy to set up and accurate out to 100 yards.

    In the past I had a HHA DSXL-5510. Then went to a Spot Hogg Hunter 5 pin. Now I am back to a single pin and went with the Spot Hogg Tommy Hogg. Love this sight, set up was a breeze as was the 2nd and 3rd axis. As far as weight, I do not notice any difference between it and any other sights I have had.

    I like my HHA.
    I've had Black Gold, Cobra, and Spot Hogg.
    HHA is my favorite.

    I personally prefer a 5 pin sight for where I hunt but I would get an HHA sight.

    I went with the HHA optimizer ultra lite single pin model 5019 .. It was a toss up between that one and the trophy ridge 1 pin react .. the trophy ridge comes with 2nd 3rd axis, the HHA does not, is a 20 dollar add on.
