deserthntr Report post Posted November 29, 2009 i am trying to decide shat i want, whether the spott hogg wrap 7 pin or the g5 optics XR, i like the floating pin of the XR but if something is past 40 so you adjust to the distance and then you cant get a shot till the animals moves farther you have to let down and readjust so then you have a chance of spooking it, so i am leaning towards the spott hogg but what do you all think?

youngbuck Report post Posted November 29, 2009 i use a 7dp. Ive heard the g5 is heavy. never used one though. some people dont like 7 pins either. If you do go 7dp get the small fibers in it. When i bought mine i think they offered 2 size fibers. 70yd is a long ways and the finer the fiber the easier for me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZMEATHUNTER Report post Posted November 29, 2009 DH, the g5 3+1 is an awesome choice.the "rover" pin is a desert hunters freind. AZMEATHUNTER Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jamaro Report post Posted November 29, 2009 I use the Spot Hogg Boss Hogg... I have the 5 pin model so I am covered from 20-60 but I can then adjust the sight all the way out to 120... It is a sweet setup... If you need more info or want to order one PM me... J- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kuma Report post Posted November 30, 2009 I use a five pin Spot Hogg and would recommend it. Seven pins seem like it would be to many. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bowstringmusik Report post Posted November 30, 2009 I shoot the 7DP Hunter with .010 Fibers. The 2nd and 3rd axis are great. The G5 sight is a good idea, but it's very poorly made and the shade/ring is pretty heavy. I would definitely go with the Spot Hogg. If I were you I would also look at the Armortek sights. Armortek is Tru-Ball's sight company, The sight's look pretty sharp, and the functionality of moving a single pin is way better than the Spot Hogg. Good Luck hope this helps.

jakehaffey Report post Posted November 30, 2009 I have the 7DP wrap, I would go with it. I spent some time looking at sights and this was the best one I thought. If you are looking to shoot far and accurate this will help you a lot! I highly recommend you get it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coues 'n' Sheep Report post Posted December 2, 2009 +1 for Armortek sights. Armortek is Tru-Ball's sight company... I had themcustomize on for me but there standard versions are awesome as well! Way more durable than the Spot Hoggs IMO! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Redman Report post Posted December 3, 2009 Just ordered the Sure Loc Sportsman Special, pricey but I wanted a single slider with a 3rd axis level, I have heard thier customer service is second to none. I have used a multiple pin sight (Spot Hogg 7DP) and found with my bow speed the pin gaping is minimal. Unfortunatly I have made enough "rushed" shots to have learned if I cannot range a animal, to let it walk. I am very intrigued by the Axcell sights, not sure if I would have purchased one, but definitely would have given them a second look. If anybody is in the market for a Spot Hogg 7 Deadly Pin with the wrap (4 pins 0.19 and 3 at 0.10) right handed, let me know.....maybe trade for something?

120carp Report post Posted December 3, 2009 sure loc makes a sliding 3-5 pin sight. i know a couple people that have it and its probably the last sight they will buy. but if you want durable and accurate sight then you want spot hogg. i have both the 5 and 7 pins real deals. great sights but i dont have the time and space to shoot the SDP. so the 5 pin will do.

grizzly Report post Posted December 4, 2009 I have the G5 XR on both of my bows. Both are sighted in from 25-100 yards. My top 3 pins are 25, 40, 50 and the rover pin sits at 60. Perfect for hunting situations. There arent many shots I would take over 60 yards, but I love being able to group at 100 at the range. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
