trophy ridge react sight?

[xtremehuntress]

Has anyone else bought or used this new trophy ridge react sight? It says you only need to sight in two pins and then all the rest will line up. This did not seem to be true at all. Bang on at 20, 30 yards and 3" high at 40, 50 and then 60 was low!!!! Then I sighted in the 20 and 40 instead. The 50 was closer but 60 was still out. Just wondered if anyone else had any thoughts on this sight?

It can't work for every bow...the pitch of the thread cannot match each type of bow speed and specs...I like Trophy Ridge, but IMHO this sight is a gimmick.

Thanks. Ya, was shooting the bear motive 6 set at 66lbs, it shoots fast, sweet bow. But just cannot get that sight to work. Thanks for the comment. Guess I'll take this sight back and try a different sight.

I used the Matrix sights and now I use the Micro Alpha V5 sights on my two current bows.

Ok thanks! I'm going to look into it. I've also been reading up on a good rests. On my 2012 Hoyt carbon element, I had the rip cord but it kept failing to drop, so I've got a QAD that im getting put on as they seem to be all the hype right now. But so was the rip cord. It was only a year old when it started to fail.

QAD is same principle as ripcord. You want guaranteed that it'll move out of the way check some of the limb driven rests like trophy taker smack down or Vaportrail limb driver pro-v, or new G5 CMax. Much easier set-up and no need to worry about timing the rest. Also much easier to fix if you have an issue.

It might work for your bow....but really IMHO it isnt hard to sight in two pins...so how hard is it to do two or three more?

I also find the sight very big, heavy, and clunky. No doubt for some folks its great but I personally like different sights.

YA. every time this question comes up about this concept its the same thing. It kinda works for a couple of people, but obviously can't mathematically work for everyone, just like a ballistic reticle cant work for everything from a 22 lr to 458 win mag and everything in between, physics and gravity wont let it happen.

I had this sight and did not work for my Hoyt bow, plus it broke when I tightened the pins. Cheap plastic IMO. But there are some good reviews so maybe I just had a bad experienc
