FINALLY- Since my ordeal began on January 6, I finally got my Fast Eddie today! Going to mount it tomorrow and the weather is looking decent enough to hit the only "local" range with a distance of more than 30 yards (outdoors; out to 100.) Not much time to get dialed in before the Total Archery Challenge but going to do my best.
got her bolted on in less than 15 minutes tonight- with my Trophy Ridge quiver bracket. Initial thoughts without even shooting- very high quality fitment easily mounted/rough set up bright dots put a rheostat light on and HOLY CRAP really really bright dots- brightest I've ever had with little-no light leakage in the front. That's more important than you may realize as I am sure I've had deer pick me off when using a sight light in the past I mounted it with the bar extended as far as possible- makes the bow (Mathews Z7X) pretty top/front heavy. We'll see how that makes her feel in the hand while shooting
Finally is correct! Congrats. I absolutely love mine. I was lucky I got a left handed one in a day from Amazon prime
I just now stumbled across this. Congrats on FINALLY getting your sight. Like I said, I believe you're going to love it. I should check into the rheostat light for low light conditions. I have no experience with those at all because for years I've been shooting a Trijicon Accupin - no lights needed (ever) with that sight.
Got to shoot out to 50yds with it is weekend. Was too windy for anything further. Was shooting darts at 25 but at distance I was too wobbly to say I was "dialed in." I didn't bother to tape it yet since I want to get really locked on before I put the tape on. Might need to adjust my rest tho. Have to have the Hogg housing pushed all the way to the end of the post to stay centered in the target. Sucks that my pro shop is 45 minutes west and only has a 30 yard range; and the nearest outdoor range with longer distance is an hour north.
I had to go see a client right before tax season ended and of course they're close to the bow shop. I ALWAYS go see them instead of them coming to my office. LOL! Any way I went into the shop specifically to get the HHA Kingpin TE with dovetail and the owner had just got a Fast Eddie XL in and I played with both and even though I've pretty much always shot HHAs I bought the Fast Eddie XL. I love it. I didn't even realize until time to pay that I would be saving over $200 compared to the Kingpin. FYI, the lens from my 1 5/8 HHA scope fit just fine in my Fast Eddie, so I saved a bit there as well.
We don't have the biggest brute deer in the country but if you want to shoot does and just eat them, you can take 3 a day.
That is true, but I learned a lesson about that this past season. If you process your own deer, killing three at once is not such a good idea. It sure is a lot of fun while the killing is going on, though.
When I processed my own, it kept me from shooting multiples as well. I live in a neighborhood and really don't have a place to do it. My best friend had a quasi hobby farm with horses, hogs and a few head of cattle and we had a big stainless steel table and the whole shebang and i processed mine and his. He went thru a nasty divorce that was final in Feb '17 and had to sell and move to a neighborhood himself so we both have to go to the processor now. If processing myself didn't cut down on flung arrows - $80 a deer sure will. LOL!
I was looking at them on eBay yesterday! In stock $249 Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
I'm just wondering what yardage you guys are getting out of the spot hogg fast eddie? Also would I get more distance from the fast eddie or fast eddie xl?
