    Hey everyone, I have been saving up my money for a bow sight and was wondering if anyone has it or shot it. I'm just curious if that should be what I spend my money on or should I look at other sights.
    Thanks,
    Garrett

    I was thinking of going to the single pin React but after talking with my bowtech I am just going to stick with my Axcels. He said that they were very heavy comparatively speaking and that when he shot one it didnt react well with fixed blade heads out past 40 yards. I guess if you plan on shooting mechanical heads or not shooting that far than it wouldn't matter. My guy is super knowledgeable and I trust him and his expertise. I really was interested in it but I think I'll pass. IF you get one though let us know how it shoots.

    I have a hoyt and I haven't talked to the guy that works on my bow yet. I'll pick his brain and see what he thinks about it but I think I may get it because when I asked him if they were selling any he said they were selling a ton to people setting their bows up. The place I go to only sells hoyts so I'll get his opinion on it as well

    Sounds good, see what he says. Just don't buy something because "they are selling a ton". He may just be trying to get rid of them so he is pushing them on new setups. Do your homework and make a educated decision. Good luck!

    I have the 5 pin react sight and I really am impressed with it. It feels a little heavy with it mounted as far forward as possible but its not too bad mounted in the middle of its range. The adjustments are simple, accurate and quick, plus the pins are extremely bright. So far I have not had any issues out of mine at all.

    If you have a stabilizer on your bow, would removing it allow the mass of the sight to act as a counterbalance?

    I bought one last summer and love it. only took me 20 mins to be zeroed in out to 60yrds. It's very easy to set up and use. I love that i don't need any wrenches to fine tune the sight either.

    I have the single pin version and love it, it was lighter than most other sights I could find the data on.

    I have the 5 pin version and really like it! I purchased it about this time last year and it has held up great.

    I am shooting the Axcel Armortech HD 5 pin with .010" fibers and absolutely loving it! It is tough as nails and retains a lens. One of the great features of this sight is the micro adjusting each pin. You can set it to what ever you want. I have mine set at 20, 30, 40, 50 and 65. I like being able to customize the pins to whatever yardage you want. Since putting in my Doc's Choice lens by Clear Targets, I can't imagine hunting without it and this sight lets me do that. Hope you find what you are looking for and good shooting!
