    This might get moved to a different forum (NP). I'm currently shooting the HHA OL 5500 and love it, but in the heat of the moment I'm finding it kinda tough to judge, adjust sight, and calm to shoot. My buck last week was a perfect example, he started at 25-27 yards went to what I thought was 30-35 and then double back to around 27-30. I had set for 35 anticipating a "field" shot and end up shooting high and due to the angle back. I'm liking the G5 XR, but does anyone have any other suggestions? I'd like to set a 20, 30, 40, 50 and just gap it on the fly without having to set my pin. I don't care for a hefty price tag but I don't skimp on something that important. I've got two bucks left on the farm that are quiet bigger, if they are still around and I don't really want to shoot them with a gun so I'm gonna give it my all with the bow, as one will be border line P&Y.

    IF price doesn't matter, take a look at Viper sights, they are awesome, GMMAT used to have one on his bow, Rob too I think, I went with the RT1000 Extreme which is almost like a scaled down version... I think they've come out with something since then, But I switch from an adjustable single pin also and have never looked at another sight since, It's perfect for me.

    Viper is top notch, but b/c of the price tag I shoot an Extreme RT1000, works plenty fine for me if your looking to save a little bit of money

    Give Sword a look too. They make a great sight and are reasonably priced.
