    Old Faithful, gotta kill something with it this year then it will be moved to the backup to be replaced by a longer ATA bow (36" +)

    Bow: '06 Hoyt Trykon
    Rest: Ripcord
    Sight: Cobra Sure-Loc Sidewinder
    Arrows: GT CAA's or Pro Hunters
    Broadhead: Rage or Slick Trick (100 gr)
    Stab: Posten, going to be painted flat black before season(from Archerytalk.com)
    Quiver: Kwikee Kwiver
    Release: Tru-Ball Short N Sweet

    Don't laugh at the D-Loop either....it has been shortened. That was in my pre-D-Loop Intelligence Days. (Buckeye made fun of me at the 2007 HNI GTG.)

    Okie,

    I like the sight (plenty of fiber for bright pins, I added the pin light, and glow-stick kit as well) but if I end up getting a new bow for next year I will end up getting a Spot Hogg Hogg-It instead. It will stay on my Trykon, but I probably won't buy another one for my new bow.

    I also like the Sure-Loc Lethal Weapon, very similar to the Cobra sights (the Cobra sight uses the Sure-Loc bar and the actual sight: gang adjustment, the sight housing, pins, and coil is Cobra).

    But overall, I have heard nothing but good things out of Spot Hogg when it comes to having both a great hunting as well as 3-D sight. That is the main thing I am setting my bow up for. Both hunting and 3-D. I am going with a longer ATA and probably end up getting set up for using a thumb-trigger release and the whole works.

    Overall though, I have been nothing but happy with the Cobra sight. For a while there, it was one of the brightest sights on the market.
