Kinda seems weird to me as well. I have this thing with sights being able to move...just doesn't sit with me right.

Well I understand what you guys are saying but i didnt get this site just because of how easy it is to move. But i got it because i like a single pin sight and this one was the brightest i could find and also it has a light that is totaly hiddin and when turned on ONLY the tip of the pin will GLOW!! And i mean bright.
BUt i also like how that sight moves with cuz i know i have had deer come in and ill be drawn back and then they will not stop where i wanted them to and endup being out farther then i expected. And intsead of letting down and moving the bar and then putting you release back on the string and re drawing.

YOU can just spin it with your finger and your set.

But i know every one has there opinions and mine is i really like this site. I really shoot great with it.

I have one. So far I've used for 3-D and target practice. I liked the idea of being able to ajust it at full draw. I've ajusted it at 3-D shoots and found it very easy to do. Looking foward to using it in a couple week when season opens.I tried it out in my blind last weekend in the late afternoon and the pin was very easy to see. We'll see how it workswith the blind in the woods.

This handy sight gives you quick elevation adjustments while you're at full draw, for those last-second changes.


Wow. The last thing I want to do while holding all that stored energy is start moving my hand around trying to fiddle with a sight... not saying it can't be done, as DennisT is obviously happy with his, but I don't want to move my hand after I get it situated and draw.

Ray Hunter, look at the HHA sights... I won a bow last fall or sometime around there... Sold the bow, but it had a single-pin HHA on it . The fiber wraps around and around the housing and it's the brightest sight I've ever seen, and I've played with a lot of sights. Here's a pic of the one I got; I've never put it on a bow yet because I prefer multiple-pin sights, but I went ahead and kept this simply because of how bright the pin was...

Yes i have seen and tried that sight. And your right its VERY bright. BUT its weighs to much. Feels really wired (to me) when you put it on the bow.
And as for moving the pin as long as you keep your grip loose. You just move your finger about a falf inch and spin the little hadle. Its so easy to do.
