    Wondering if any of you guys have tried out the Trophy Ridge React sight. Heard lots of positive stuff about it. Just wanting to hear your thoughts. Thanks!

    I was going to order the react 5 pin but changed my mind and ordered the react single pin and installed it on my 2013 Element.

    Everything about it worked perfectly as it was supposed to and it shoots out to 100 yards. I set a mark at 20 and one at 30 yards and the rest of them were spot on out to 100 yards (or as close as I can shoot that far). I was shooting good groups out to 60 yards consistently with it. I'm not a 100 yard shooter with a 78#dw bow, lol.

    I got the react sight this year and I love it. It does what is says it does. It is fun to target practice at 60 yards even though I would never shoot a deer that far.

    Can the top 2 pins be sighted in at 30 and 40 instead of 20 and 30 or will that throw the rest of the pins off?

    I PM'd a few people with this question but I will listen to anyone's opinion. I am planning on putting a TR React on my Elite Hunter. It's 28.5" draw and 65lb. Does anyone think it's a good match? Ive read some really positive reviews on the React but some that said they had trouble sigting it in. Any opinions would be appreciated.

    I have 29" and 70lbs and it took me a total of 15min to sight in max. after that it was fine tuning.

    I used the React 5 on my Hoyt Vector and it did work as designed. It would be great for hunting but I am not sure I would use it for competitive archery. The adjustments will get you close but it lacks the ability to fine tune a pin if need be. Definitely close enough to hit vitals but may be off a little to hit an X. Something to think about.

    I did not think to try to set the first pin to 30. Mainly because I suffer from T-Rex syndrome.

    It would be a good match if you are using the bow for hunting. This is only my opinion. I was able to set the 20 and 40 yard pins and the rest was close enough to kill. Not so sure it would be good to blot out the Xs though. I woudl use something with a little more adjustability.

    Hunting is what I will be using it for. Should have said that from the beginning. I don't shoot in competitions or leagues I just like to take my daughter to the range with her bow and I hunt. Rarely would I have a shot over 30 yds because of the terrain I hunt.

    ie I have tried it out and its a solid sight no probs.

    Easy to adjust.

    I checked one out at the local archery shop yesterday. It appears to be really great quality parts, and the no tools required pin movement is cool, but the thing weighed so much! IDK how this would affect your current set-up, but I mean that sucker has some masws to it. Something to consider, I am relatively new to bowhunting myself, and there may be a good way to counter that weight on your bow.
