    I had last years version... the Titanium Xtreme, I wrote an article about it too Dink! My complaint was that both the Titanium and Carbon sight sounded and felt like a tuning fork on my bow. The bracket was too thin and would actually flex so the sight wasn't rigid. I saw it at the ATA show and it looks like they fixed it, but for the price... I'll pass. I actually had a Mathews employee ask me not to let anyone at antelope camp shoot my bow with that sight on it. Just my experience...

    I currently have the AXT primal x5 on my Helim. The sight worked good for the season, but I am thinking about getting a different sight for this next season. One thing I didn't like was the individual pin micro adjustment. The micro adjust for the pins doesn't work as good as it sounds. Also the light on the sight is either on or off, there are not different settings for the light, so it would be too bright to use with the light on.

    It's hard to beat either an Armortec HD or HD Vision and the Spot Hogg - Hunter Hogg-it are both virtually indestructible and super user friendly. The Spott Hogg pin adjustments take a little getting used to, but after you get it figured out... they are awesome.
