    Myself, no way I could drop that kind of money on a spot hog when the HHA is so well built and will get the job done just as well.

    I went from the Spott Hogg to the HHA. Really prefer the HHA as it is a bit lighter and the light control on the sight makes it easier to tune brightness.

    I had a 5 pin spot hogg, it was great! Great Quality, Great CS, but I love the single dot from HHA.

    Haven't made the mistake yet, but you gotta make sure you turn that dial if you're changing distances!

    I went from an HHA, to a spot hogg hogg-it...I am happy with it! I have to say the quality of the spott hog is amazing, thing is built like a tank and the pins are plenty bright! I would be lying is i didn't say there were times (not too often though) where I missed having a floater, but I wanted to have the 5 pins there for no adjustments in the field and to take one less step away from the shot process...especially since i am trying out my hand out in self filming this year. 20-60yards right there no movements or fussing around...the sight picture I have gotten use to now and don't mind it. My next sight for certain will be a Montana Black Gold Ascent 3 pin, where the 3rd pin is the floater with a 4" dovetail though...thing is awesome!

    I have the HHA. I looked at the Spot Hogg, but the HHA suits me better. I love the single pin and how bright it is. The adjustable rheostat for the pin is awesome. It is built like a tank and works really well.

    I have shot HHA and have since switched to a Black Gold Ascent 3 pin and really like it. For me, I had too many issues with only one sight pin. Cost me an elk last year in UT and a nice little 8 point in NE. Either to involved in trying to adjust the sight and just not aiming high enough by not adjusting. What I like about the Ascent is that I can adjust all three pins for a variety of shooting distances and scenarios. I looked at them pretty hard before settling on the HHA, now I have two that are sitting in my drawer. Not really sure why I didn't look at Spot Hogg. I've had them as well, just the fixed pin versions.

    HHA are really great sights, just not my thing I guess. The adjustment slider bar can also interfere with tight or in-close-fitting quivers as well.
