I like this one!

One thing I will add, if you do upgrade, whichever brand you choose. Before, you head out hunting take pictures of where the site is. All of the higher end models have numbered hash marks. Taking a pictures gives you the piece of mind to be able to double check if anything moved. If it does, never had one move, but you can move it back to the correct place with confidence.

I’ve got my current Trophy Ridge Hotwire marked up in pencil now. Learned that lesson the hard way last fall. Didn't find a shot opportunity that day. But did have a nagging lack of confidence in my equipment that negatively influenced the day’s hunt.

The beauty of a single pin slider is its the simple circle circle dot shoot thing. Center center squeeze. I do not shoot past 40 so I leave the sight set at 30 and know where it shoots at 10/15/20/25/30/40. Just have to keep your head on straight and know the range. The fence row of pins was beginning to be challenging on my aging eyes. The other bonus of a single slider is all the fiber wrap that brightens things up. To each their own. Shoot what works for you. I do practice out to eighty to identify my shortcomings and work on them. Never have reached nirvana but keep trying.

I agree with the support for Black Gold. If it was me and I was setting up the best hunting sight, I would get the BG Ascent Verdict in a five-pin. I'd pull the bottom pin for a bigger sight window and set my top pin at 30. I'd gap-shoot below 30 and have 30, 40, 50, and 60-yard set pins and the bottom as a slider if I wanted to have fun. IMO, that setup gives you the ultimate flexibility for every hunting situation.

Is that really a thing? LimBitless Outdoors? From my couch I see so many things I don't like about it, if it's real.

The EZV is very real. I don’t know about the company promoting it “limitless outdoors”, but the EZV has many things to like about it, if you’d be willing to get off the couch!
Unfortunately (or fortunately?) my buddy sold the company so I don’t have to rep it as much as I’d like to continue to, but he still did design it based on stadiametric ranging based on the vitals of MOST big game animals. It works very very well. By the way, the pics of the white “V” are the original very first hand-carved prototypes, never seen before by the public!

Looks like junk.

Try it before you say stuff like that. A person I call a very good friend of mine worked for years on making this. And they’re actually almost indestructible

That is an interesting sight. I bet it would be great for people with extreme target panic or new archers. Rather than focusing on a tiny pin, you’re just lining up the outline on the animal. Is there a particular range it would max out at with an average, 29” 70lb mid-weight arrow set-up?

Send me a free one, otherwise looks like more unnecessary crap trying to solve a problem that doesn’t exist.

They piqued my interest when he mentioned them a while back. I prefer pins, but seems like they have their place. Looks like they’ve worked well for the man with the flat brim. Lots of much more superfluous “crap” on the market than these.

Yes, it is not designed to shoot beyond your typical ethical bow hunter standards. The tick marks on a 290 fps sight insert give you out to 80 yards I believe, but i wouldnt suggest using the V to make the “educated guess” on the range beyond probably 45. Anything I’d guess to be beyond 40-45 yards I’d STILL want to take a range, but it IS designed to eliminate target panic by reducing the pin that is in between your eyeball and the animal you’re aiming at. It is a fully open, clear sight picture. Secondly, when a shot might take place, it can happen fast and sometimes they come through a window or stop in an opening that we may have forgotten to range. Perhaps we spooked them when we drew and they bump back a few more yards, the sight is designed to be able to use the “fit” of the V on the animal to automatically know the range without checking..

Hence the slogan, “ Frame it and claim it”

I’ve considered this sight for my wife if she ever wants to get into archery hunting or in the future for my kids. I don’t remember who but some influencer was talking about how he has his wife shooting this sight and it’s working really well for her
