    I currently use the IQ 5 pin but I am not the biggest fan of the retina lock..too much going on between getting on target, checking the retina lock, getting back on target, etc.

    I am looking to switch to another multi pin (3-5) sight. Any recommendations?

    If you want 3 to 5 pin I'd go with spot Hogg real deal or Hogg it for the dovetail, love mine, super durable, pins bright never needed sight light. Been happy with it for past 4 years

    I've hunted with the CBE TEKHybrids for the past few years. I just upgraded to an Axcel Accutouch. Pretty sure I'll be adding an Accustat head to it and hunting with it this year.

    Black Gold sights have always served me well.

    HHA Optimizer Lite. As far as multi-pin sights go, I don't think you can get anything better than the IQ sight.

    Cheap Truglo 4 pin,hopefully have a HHA by this fall.
    If you dont like using the retina lock just adjust it until you dont see the dot and forget about it.

    I've got the same sight. I'm trying to learn to center that retina lock window in my peripheral vision. If I can do that, everything will get much easier.

    I use a 7 pin IQ Sight and I really like it, but I'm thinking of switching to a single pin. The retina display seems like I always need to adjust it and it feels like it adds one more thing I have to focus on. Not a bad sight by any means though.

    If all you do not like is the retina, that seems like a problem a piece of black electrical tape could take care of and save you the cost of replacing your sight.

    I have the HHA OL 5000 single pin on my Hoyt, and I couldn't be happier.

    Have been shooting a trophy ridge cypher 5, I didn't have any complaints but had the itch to jump to a single pin so i just grabbed a CBE TEK hybrid. only put a few arrows through in the garage but I think I'm going to like it a lot.

    Trophy Ridge React 5 pin for me. It's only the 2nd sight I've used but it's been great so far. Easy to install, set up and sight in.

    I use the hogg father 3pin with a small housing. I love the multi pin slider. You get the benifits of a single pin, but also the quick shooting at close range. I have my pins sighted in at 27yards. 40 yards, and 50 yards. My bottom pin is my focus pin and I can hit targets at 130yrds

    Dang 130! I'll have to lay off the caffeine and nicotine before I'm that steady! 130 is impressive.
