There are a lot of Bow Sights out there and I was wondering which one is the best (most popular, accurate, etc.) in your opinion? IQ Retina Lok, Spot-Hogg, TruGlo, etc.? Thanks!

Ford, chevy, dodge. Basically find the qualities in a sight that you feel you need, then look at the brand name on the box. I still have a set of Montana Black Gold that are 10 years old that I love. But if/when I get a new set, I don't wanna be messing around with allen wrenches to adjust the sites. I wanna be able to micro tune those bad boys. I have also been doing a little shopping around and I really like the Trophy Ridge React.
yeah this is a tough one. I went spot-hogg just because from this year on out I'll be doing a weekly trip out west and the durability of the spot hoggs is what sold them for me. I really do like the sight tho, bright pins and you never get that haze/blurr around the pin.
I went with Black Gold as it had everything I wanted and the pins I liked best.
If I were looking now it would be Spott or Black Gold. I like the CBE stuff but the pins are hardly visible in comparison to the other two.
For a low cost alternative I recommend Sword.

It really is a Ford/Chevy type of debate. I don't see any one sight being "the best". I have a Spott Hogg on my Mathews and love it compared to the Viper I had before. Black Gold and Axcel also make top end sights. It boils down to knowing what you want/need and finding the sight that best fits that list.

I went with the cheep one for a 1800$ bow only because it was the lightest seems stupid but didn't want my ligt bow to be any heavy r ,was an apex.I think its all about what you're looking for in a sight.Good luck buddy.

Just bought a Black Gold Target sight base with a 6inch dovetail and have a extreme archery xiiid scope with a .010 pin and I have to say the .010 was hard to get use to at first but I am loving a small pin now. I would recommend a dovetail sight and get that scope as far away from that bow as you can, with being able to see the pins good, my pin is 8 inches away from my bow so it's pretty far out there, It really makes you focus on target and helps you shoot a lot better IMHO. Single pin is the way to go also. I just switched over from a multi pin to a single and I do like it a lot better as well. Don't have to worry about what color pin to use of whatever, just turn the dial, aim, and pull. I may switch to a spot hogg double up pin though because I like the idea of having another reference mark just incase you do draw and the deer or turkey or whatever keeps moving.
