Any one use this sight? It has everything I am looking for but is it quality built? I love the tool less adjustment and the light (should I ever need it). I also like the idea of having the first two pins being .019 and the bottom two pins being .010. The price is respectable at $99. Discuss.
Looks pretty cool. The tooless adjustment is one of the reasons I like my Viper MT. Looks like a hell of a hunting sight.
Ben, No doubt this has some great features. I did find out the housing is aluminum which is good because I will NOT buy a sight that is plastic. If I could just gain some confidence that TruGlo (owns Apex) can make a quality site. Not saying they don't, but I have always considered TruGlo to be a cheaper manufacture (probably due to the firearm stuff I used). IF I gain some confidence that it is a decent sight I will pull the trigger. No doubt about it. I want it. Edit: There is a pretty long thread on this sight on AT. Looks like everyone thought it was a well built sight.
I have one of the Apex MQX Nano Bone Collector quivers, and for as inexpensive as it was thought it performed very well. I can't say for this sight, but I hear what you're saying about Tru Glo, but I can tell you a friend of mine has a Tru Glo quiver that I think is junk compared to the Apex. It's almost like they're two completely different companies without any ties. I also checked out the Bone Collector series sights from Extreme though and thought they were excellent. Just another thought for you. This is the 1200 model with tooless elevation and windage adjusment, and the black .019 pin model runs around $85.
Yeah, "made with metal" is a main reason I love the my Vipers. Are the pins on this one changeable? For 99 bucks, if they are, this looks like a winner to me. I am still content on spending more for the dovetail platform and microtune, but this is a cool opition if built well.
I actually had that sight in my hand yesterday. The rep for Extreme was in my bow shop and I was sure to be there. I like the sight except for me one major draw back (for me). The level is amber color which I have trouble seeing especially in low light. I need a green bubble level. I also like the idea of the bottom two pins being smaller.
I purchased the Apex with the micro pins late last season and I am very happy with it. The adjustments are precise and it hasn't lost zero. The pins light up really well in any kind of light. The small pins work really well for precision shooting. We shoot squirrels and grouse fairly often and the smaller pins help a lot. If you have a 40 yard squirrel to shoot at the larger pins pretty much obscure the vitals, with the smaller pins you can pick a spot.
