    I'm goin tomorrow to pick up my new bow that is being held for me. It's a '10 PSE Axe 6, still new in the store that the owner was just tryin to get rid of. I know him so he gave me a really good deal on the bow. I bought an NAP Apache rest to have him put on it but I hate to go pick it up tomorrow and not have a sight on it. I've having a hard time picking out a sight. Looking at the new G5 Rock. Anybody used it yet or have another suggestion? Trying to stay under $100 Thanks

    Not sure about the G5 charge.
    However, a guy at work that has a Hoyt... alphaburner, maxxis or one of the hawks, can't remember... anyways, he has a QAD Hunter, and says he has had 0 problems with it, that is after he put the right holder on it (comes with 2, hoyts need the taller).
    I have the same rest but I just put it on and haven't gotten to shoot it yet. Supposed to be warmer this weekend though so I'll get it out and get back with you.
    I think it retails for like $59, so well within your $100 range.

    Even though the guy has his name on EVERYTHING now, I happen to like the bone collector apex gear sight. It is fairly compact for a sight, and comes in both black and camo. It is not the most expensive sight in the world at under $100, but the features are decent. Has a small sight level, a sight light (if your really inclined to use it), and multi size pins. The adjustments are mostly all done with click dials, which I liked and the bracket is reversable to give you more up/down adjustments if you need it.
    One of the major things I DONT like about it though, is that I'm a one pin guy, and you can only remove down to two, because they are interconnected with the fiberoptics wire. Another thing was that the black finish seems to come off fairly easy, at least on mine, and I'm pretty easy on my bow.
    Anyways, for what it's worth, it works very well on my xforce and all in all for the money, not bad.
