    How much you willing to spend is the better question :)

    Just traded for two sights. A spot hogg hogg it and an axcel armortech. I prefer the axcel. Mainly for the ease of adjustment. Both sights are well built. I would like to try a black gold. Always heard good things about them.

    I don't think you can go wrong with Spot Hogg. Their sights are built like tanks and they have great customer service.

    Mine arrived at my local shop last week. I am hoping to get in tomorrow and get it picked up and all dialed in! I can't wait. From everything that I have seen about it I think it is going to be a great sight. You can find several video reviews on it on youtube.

    I just put a TR Cypher on my bow. I REALLY like it a lot. I wish it wasn't made in China.

    TR products are usually pretty decent. With what you'll spend on the React sight, however, you are darn close to the price range of a nice Spot Hogg, Axcel, Black Gold, or Sword.

    All of these are made in USA

    I have a New Black Gold Vengence . I love it I have never shot better.I have two .019 and three .010 pins with the white sight ring.It cost a lot but it's worth it for sure.

    Has anyone ever used the Axcel Armortech Vision sight? if so is it worth the money? right now I am just using a 4 pin Apex Accustrike sight. would upgrading to this really make a difference?

    Another vote for the Trophy Ridge React. Best sight I've ever been around.

    I currently own a spott hogg right-on but I am considering replacing it with a trophy ridge react because of the easier adjustments. Would that be a big drop in quality to go from spott hogg to trophy ridge?

    I have shot Spott Hogg, for the last 6 years, and I my eye sight is getting worse as I age 54 now, And as there sights are Great, I have decided to go with a signal pin, and I like the HHA DS-5019 Ultra, I just ordered it from Cabelas, as I had a couple gift cards. I have a friend that has the same sight and I shot it last week, and Man is it deadly, I can not wait till mine gets here and get it mounted and get ready for my Elk trip this Fall.
