Long range sights

Hey All,

 

I am looking to start practicing long range bow shooting, not to hunt taking 70 yard shots, but practicing at longer distances will help make me more accurate at closer ranges. I am looking for a high quality sight with 6-7 pins. Can anyone recommend a sight that they feel is very accurate and holds a zero well. Thanks!

spot hogg!  Very durable sights.  I use the hunter, but there are plenty of models to choose from.  Once you become accustomed to moving the pins, they are easy to set, but some never seem to get comfortable with it.  It takes some finesse but once set, they stay set.

I have a variable single pin sight as well....It is a HHA ....Like the spot hogg it has variable range but a sliding scale instead of a dial......I leave it on 20 yds while I am hunting but I believe the scale goes all the way out to 100 yds....(I have never tried past 40)...I love the sight.....can't stand the clutter of the mult pin....

the HHA geared dial ones are good.  they make two different ones like that.  also Spot Hogg are good.  TRU Ball Axcel sights are the toughest I've used.  their new single pin is pricey though.  some things to consider a single pin is better for long range and dialing to exact yardage.  also you'll like a smaller .010" fiber pin vs .019" so it doesn't take up so much of the target.  adjustable pin brightness helps with glare but if you get a bright one sometimes housing can be covered with electrical tape to dim things.  if you really want to reach out their then a smaller 1 5/8" pin guard is a must to clear the arrow vanes leaving the bow.  I prefer a bigger one though as it's better for hunting; bigger sight picture and aligns with a bigger peep for more light in those first or last hours when you need it.
