    Trophy Ridge Micro Alpha V5. This sight is just awesome. It is not heavy like their original ones they made either. I recently switched to this vertical pin sight and my shot consistency has increased dramatically.

    HHA. I love the adjustability to just dial in my exact yardage and shoot.

    Put a perfect shot in a Red stage at 58 yards this year and a Ram at 68. Don't think I would have had the confidence with fixed pins and I know I wouldn't of even had a 60 yard pin to start with.

    x2... Or I just did so, switched from a ThruGlo(Logix) 5pin to a G5 Optix XR with three fixed and one floating. Why? Well, I liked the idea of having three fixed pins sighted in for hunting distances and one floating for longer 3d-shooting. Having a bit problems sighting it in due to placment of bolt holes on L-bracket, either way I mount it it leaves me very little amount of micro adjustment. But all in all I really like the sight, just have to modify it some in my cnc-machine to get the holes where I want them to be ;-)

    My main sight the last couple of years has been the G5 Optix XR (3 pin with 1 floater). Did just pick up the G5 Rock the other day - will have that on one of my hunting bows this year too...

    As you can see there are a lot of great chioices. However I encourage you to put the sights togather and pick the one you like best. I look for quality, Value for my money, garentee, ect. I have been shooting Black Gold for 3 years now and love them! check them out along side and see the differences for you yourself.

    HHA single pin but thinking of changing the scope out for a 4 pin adjustable.

    ^ I agree 1000%. I use the HHA DS-5519 Sight. Built like a tank and worth every penny.

    I have used different hunting sights in my hunting career but I think the Toxonics is the best.

    I do alot of stand hunting and use the Truglo sliding pendulum. Great sight and they have excellent customer service. Another favorite of mine are the old crosshair sights such as PSE, Proline, or Mongoose. Big field of view and I can really zero in.
