    Hey guys I was looking at maybe putting a new sight on my bow and was contemplating getting one that had a floating pin. One particular model I was looking at was Archer Xtremes A.X. Driver 4 pin. Any thoughts??

    Take a look at the G5 Optix Line of sights The have a single plus a floater and then 4 fixed and a floater.

    I just picked up a Black Gold Ascent, 3 pin w/ 4" dovetail. So far I like what I see. I'm hoping to mess with it some today now that I'm close to getting my bow all tuned up :tu: [​IMG]

    That is sweet sight...I have a Ascent Ambush on my list ..going to pick it up the first time I see one reasonably priced...

    I mostly only shoot single pin sights now..have a couple HHA, a Copper John Mark IV, and CBE Tek hybrid, also had and sold a XR2

    i don't know anything about the g5's with the one pin solid one floater but i do have a friend that had a lot of problems with his he ended up going to a black gold as well and loves it

    I didn't like the G5 as is wasn't precise enough for me., also didn't like the angled horizontal pin.... One of the things I like most about single pins is the vertical pin...just like the sight picture better .

    Yup, I moved to a single pin this year and i like it way better than my multi pin sight. I dont see myself switching back to multi pin sights anytime soon.
