Opinions on these 2 sights

[mikeboehm]

Well i narrowed my search to 2 sights. The spot hogg hunter 5 and the spot hogg real deal. What are your thoughts. The real deal is alot lighter and more compact but the hunter has more adjustments

[Ambush]

Real Deal. All micro adjust. Get the wrapped version, for sure.

Real Deal. All micro adjust. Get the wrapped version, for sure.

What he said

Both are good sights ... but the Real Deal is far superior for simplicity, functionality ..... More adjustments doesnt always mean better .... it means a few more things to Mess up and cause you headaches ... There is a fine grey line there sometimes between awesomeness and PITA
:mrgreen:

If it were me ... I wouldnt think twice about the Real Deal

[Bow Walker]

X3 on the Real Deal. I've got one and they are tough as nails, easy to adjust/set, and once set up they stay that way.

As Mike said - too many adjustment possibilities leads to way too much fiddling with your sight. Simple is better.

Besides - once you set you sight up properly that's the end of the job - except for maintenance and inspection.......

Real Deal for sure. I had both. Real Deal easier setup. Hunter has the 3rd axis and can be hard to tune. They are both bullet proof but you'll be allot happier with the Real Deal wrapped.

What about the spot hogg right on sight 7 pin

[Bow Walker]

How fast is your bow? I it's over 280 fps - the pins will be so close together as to be almost indiscernible from one blob of light.............

[mikeboehm]

It shoots 338 fps . I meant how good is the right on sight. I can always take 2 pins out

What about the spot hogg right on sight 7 pin

You shoot an Omen pro .. right? ... Stooopid fast if I recall right .... the 7 pin would be nice to jack out to 90 meters if you were doing that kinda shooting .... But IMHO your closer yardages will be be crammed so close together ... 7 side pins makes for a pretty blocked sight picture window ... If you plan to do far ranges .. i would look at a single pin movable (Because thats what I have ) I didnt think that I would like it on a hunting bow ... But I found the sight picture is so much more open .. I dont think I would like going back to side pins .... a couple of sights are multi pin up pins ... Trophy Ridge comes to mind at the moment ... I think they make a 7. I am loving my HHA .... they make many models with a single pin for all sorts of budget ... you can put a lens on it .... but what I really like about it is the pin brightness adjustibilty ... twist the cover over the wrap in brite sunny spots ... or open it up and shoot at midnite with minimal ambiant light

[Bow Walker]

If you're wondering about durability, quality, reliability, and/or any other "-ity" of the Spot Hogg sights......wonder no more. They are more than worth the money. I haven't found a better built sight out there yet, or one that is as easily adjustable.







Mike - what model of HHA do you have?

[mikeboehm]

Ebay has a right on sight 7 pin for $149.99

Thanks Mike - I've been eyeballin' HHA for a while now.....

[xtremearchery]

You can get a one pin spot hogg as well. Mr Careron Hanes him self shoots that model. He is the MAN when it comes to Western North American bow hunting. He uses the Spot Hogg "Hogg Father". Im thinking about getting this one myself. Worth the look and $$$.

It's been my experience that sights with a lot of adjustments are merely OK......once you set them up for your bow and your shooting style, they remain that way and all the adjustments don't mean squat. 4th axis, micro tunable, etc., etc., do you really need all those options for adjusting a sight? JMHO = no.
