    Took the Heli-m out to the range this morning to start getting this new Trophy Ridge React sighted in. After tweaking and fine tuning the 20, moved on to the 30 and got it set. I decided to try a 50 yard shot to see if the smart pin technology is true to it's name and one arrow right in the center! I've never liked shooting past 40 before, but I felt comfortable shooting at 50. Pins were nice and bright, has the rheostat as well. Definitely loving the new purchase!!

    I think I'm going to change to this sight on my element. Do the pins adjust with allen wrench or something else...I can't tell from pics online. Either way it looks like a lot better sight than what I have.

    They are micro adjustment knobs. This sight is fantastic. I cannot say enough good about it other then....more pins up to 80yards for hunting out west!

    Its an extremely awesome sight. The material it is made of is very durable and light. Highly recommend it.

    What is the pin diameter on it?
    My sight has .029" pins, and when I get out past 40yds they pretty much take up the whole target. I recently changed out my 30, 35, 40yrd pins to .019"... MUCH better.

    Tool-less adjustments, just use the adjustment knobs! I did have to loosen mine up at first with an allen wrench, they were pretty tight straight out of the box to where I couldn't turn them with my fingers.

    I love that site! Got mine early spring and couldn't be happier. Setup was so easy and fast I am thinking of putting one on Kristines bow next!

    I really wanted this sight, but ended up buying the Extreme Archery EXR, I am happy with it so far but still think about the React.

    I just resighted with this sight. It's awesome. 15 minutes and I was dialed in out to 60 yards.

    I finally got around to ordering mine online after not being able to find one locally. Should have it by the end of the week and I'm pumped to be getting it....they look incredible!

    Do they come with the light? Looks like they do.

    Thanks!
    I just ordered it this morning and I'm already totally slobbering in anticipation to get this on my rig....wish to heck I would have gone with one of these to start with...it's exactly all the features what I wanted when I bought my bow but the shop didn't have one of these and I didn't know about the React so I bought a Hoyt Carbon and first time I adjusted the pins the fibers came loose. Just got it fixed yesterday and ordered this React this morning, lol.

    Gahhh...oops! I just canceled the 5 pin react sight!
    After looking at them again and talking to my brother in law...I've decided to go with the Trophy Ridge React One Pin sight. The 5 pin only goes out to 60yrds the one pin goes out to 100. I won't use it for hunting at 100 but target shooting will be a blast and it still has the smart pin tech with a light.

    A couple of weeks ago I heard Lee Lakoski talking about why he went to a one pin sight and it made perfect sense. He said it forces him to range his shots instead of guessing ranges and his shot placement has drastically improved in the field. With me being out of archery for three years I think this is a good idea for me. Options were HHA or the TR R 1pin. The TR version is in ten yrd increments vs HHA's single yard dial but the TR is several oz's lighter including the light.

    Only thing I wish was that the further pins were a .10 diameter for the longer shots but still very happy with my purchase. I'm considering ordering a custom Spott Hogg so I can choose pin sizes and colors, military gets a %45 discount if you call them direct!

    Okay will do!
    This is going to end up one of two ways....either really awesome and make a tactical deer murdering mother...
    or epically bad and make a super expensive worthless POS! LOL
