    Does and one have any experience with either of these sights? Other then the sure loc having fore adjustability is it worth the extra money? Kinda wanna get a better idea on on both these sights to see if i wanna spend the extra money or not.

    Thanks, Now heres a question for you. I would really like a 7 pin so i can pratice long range more. When using the micro adjust up and down does it kinda have click or just regular turns? If I wanted to move the whole sight down for those longer shots then move it back would it be a simple process to get it back to where it was? I would really like to see one to play around with it but no one has them in stock.

    How far are you planing on shooting ? I have mine set 20 30 40 50 60 yards thats pretty far 60 yards but yeah its easy to adjust it back to where it was if you did wanna move it down the knobs have regular turns not clicks whats cool is the knobs are numbered 1 to 10 so if you regularly have it set on 2 or 3 then go to 4 or 5 for more range then put it back on the number it was on its easy i really didnt wanna spend that much without ever seeing one to i had my doubts but im glad i bought it its the baddest sight ive ever seen its awesome you can move everything on it all the knobs are numbered it even has micro adjust retna lock this sight is crazy if you buy one youll love it i havent seen a sight yet compare to it.

    Yeah I would be doing the same setup with pins. Last year we where practicing out to 100 yards pretty frequent. When using the knob does it do more then one rotation or one rotation covers the full adjustability up and down?

    it goes more than one turn im not sure how many but with the bows these days you shouldnt have to turn it past 10 and go another turn or rotation to get more distance depending on how far you wana shoot out to i only shoot out to 60 when hunting ill go further when i shoot a tourny or 3d shoot out.

    I have been looking at the IQ Bow Site retina since I am upgrading my whole setup and I sure am intriqued by it. I'd love to have one. I'm not big on long ranges in the field but I'd like to get into it for target practice.

    I ended up just going with the IQ. Couple deciding factors - 1. Of corse price I was able to get a bran new one for $100 off of Archery Talk 2. Pins being a true .019 since they dont have to melt the tips to hold the fibers in like most companies 3. Having 7 pins for practicing out to longer range instead of only having 5 pins
