    Just ordered this sight to slap on my PSE. Have read nothing but good reviews on this sight. Only bad ones were from guys who over tightened the windage block and broke it due to the material the sight is made of. Anybody else use this sight? What are your thoughts on it?

    Anxiously awaiting your review. Everything that I've heard has been positive.

    Yeah, I am interested in your thoughts as well. I would like to get the React Pro for next season.

    It should be here by the 24th hopefully. I almost went with the react pro but wanted a camo model.

    I have the React-1 single pin and have had nothing but good experiences with it.

    I have the original recat 5 pun on my drive lt and love it sighting it is easy. I also like how bright the pins are and the rheostat light makes the pins super bright in low light situations.

    I would also like say that I use a larger peep for my older react, it does have a large housing and the bigger sight ring. I personally love the larger peep makes seeing the pins and the target a lot better with less strain.

    Great to hear all the positive feedback about this sight. I really liked the versatile adjustments this sight has. My Spot Hogg Hunter was completely bottomed out because I have such a low anchor point so I'm hoping if I flip the bracket over when I mount it, I won't have the same problem.

    I shoot with the React on my Stinger X @ 60#. Very close setup to yours. What grain arrow are you shooting? I shoot Gold Tip Hunter XT with a 100 grain expandable. Total weight is about 380. With my bow anything over 425 grains shooting 60# is going to near run out of adjustment. I think your IBO is a little higher then mine but just a heads up.

    Thanks for the heads up. My arrows are on the heavy side so I'll probably flip the mount bracket and see from there.

    My arrows are about 430 grains and the sight works just fine.

    I have the 1 pin, I like it a lot, but it weights a ton. It will be forsale soon. But, other then weight its great. Bight pin, pretty accurate (never tested past 50 yards though), and a real cool idea. Im sure youll like it!

    It looks like you are shooting 10#'s more then I am and the IBO on the Drive is higher then that on the Stinger X

    Got my sight today and just got done sighting it in. I can't get over how freakishly big it is but it is pretty awesome to get sighted out to 50 in about 20 mins. It is a bit heavy but no big deal, really like it a lot so far.

    Flipping the bracket works great
