Well I've shot 4 deer with one, so yes......it gets the job done. I would likely not recommend .010 pins for hunting because they aren't going to collect the light a .019 or .029 would. I'd also probably request Sword to run extended fiber in the sight for me if lights aren't legal in your area. They will do this for you if you want, and most of their resellers would too.

Maybe we better not shoot any 3D together this year. I might just have to buy a new sight. Sounds like the cats meeeoooow.

Beautifully, I'm sure. I would set it up differently, but it would be a great hunting sight. And with the included light, it would be beautiful out of a ground blind. I'm not sure I'm gonna give up my single pin for hunting, but I might...

How will it perform as a hunting sight, in your opinion(s)?

Since I doubt I'll be getting a new bow this year, I figure I may as well get dress her up differently.
[I can't use the light while hunting though [&:]]

Dan, for 3D I am setting the pins at 5 yard gaps.....for hunting, I would set 1 pin @ 25 yards, and another @ 35.....drop the other3 out of the way.

You would just have to hide receipts and lie about the cost of everything.

Hmm...
Its a good thing I'm not married.
With the money I spend on this stuff I'd likely be divorced by now.

Sword makes some great sights. Good review.
I seriously considered them last time I was looking at sights and what it came down to was the Viper came in matching camo for my bow (dumb I know). Other than that they were equal in all other aspects.

Well I did my first real shooting with the Apex last evening. I've been shooting a single pin for the last 5 years, so this is taking somegetting used to....BUT, I shot very well, and am beginning to get the feel for it. I really enjoy this sight. I've also never shot .010 pins, and they are da bomb!

I'm no 3D guy I've never shot one single round. That being said, I have read Matts post about it and someone correct me if I'm wrong, but with 5 pins that sight would be illegal for 3D... right? I imaging you could just take a pin out, but on my New Cooper John 6 pin sight I don't think it's as easy as it sounds.
