single pin

[Crow Terminator]

HHA sights are built tough and very popular. But they are heavy for their size. Very bright fibers too.

CBE Tek Hybrid is a lighter weight option over the HHA and also comes with a lifetime warranty. Very easy to setup. Decently bright fibers...Especially with the provided light.

Black Gold Ascent is another good one. It is about the same weight as the HHA. Very bright fiber in it as well.

My vote would be for the CBE just for the weight but I don't think you could go wrong with any of those. I know that doesn't help you much.

Black Gold Ascent has an "unconditional Lifetime warranty" and is light weight.

is a single pin more for 3D shoots? I see alot of guys using them to hunt. Not sure how i would do with one.

i use a multiple pin for 3D. single pin for hunting.

HHA for sure, I love mine for hunting, the single pin has less in the way of your sight picture when aiming at a deer. For me it's less confusing, just set it at 20 yds and if you have a deer that won't come in to 20 yds, adjust to his yardage.

I really like the g5 optix xr 2. Single fixed pin up close and a sliding single pin underneath it.

I love my hha optimizer lite with the .010 pin my groups have really tightened up since going to that size especially from 40 and 50

I have have the 5019 but I messaged you the 5519 because I knew it would be better for you. Better get to shooting and building up some stamina. You have to sight it in at 20 and 60 to find the right tape. I've already setup 2 other folks on theirs the past 3 weeks and both took 2 to 3 days to find their 60yrd.

The HHA is like the "Honda Odyssey" of the single pin market lol...some people aren't even aware there are very good alternatives.

What's a Honda Odyssey?

I think that's exactly what he meant .

^^^ I'm not bashing HHA by any means , I think they are a decent sight . But I believe they are a little over priced for what they are .

 

[UTGrad]

I was implying HHA's popularity, not price. FYI look at the mini van market...the Honda Odyssey dominates.

The minivan market lol I've tried to getting wife to get one but she refuses .

Lol

We have a Honda Odyssey. Very practical family vehicle.

I just switched to the 5519 about a month ago and have really liked it. I spent about a week sighting it in to make sure I was doing it correctly and actually did the 20-40 yard sight in first then worked up to the 20-60 sight in since I have never shot at 60 yards before.

 

[bowhunter163]

I wouldn't pay full price for an hha but for the price I paid I don't feel like I did to bad , just need to get it set up and do some shooting before season gets here

No, you got a good deal on it for sure . And like I said they aren't bad sights at all , actually pretty good . But I wouldn't pay what they want for them when you can get a higher quality sight for a little more .

 

[gobblegrunt]

Spot Hog is the only way to go

I love mine! Mini-van that is. The honda has enough space for 4x8 sheeting in tht rear and will yow 1500lb Lol it's my 8 passenger luxury truck. We could get together. She'd be convinced.

I switched to a single pin last year, but I think I will be switching back to a multi pin. To me there were too many instances where a shot had to be made quickly and I missed opportunities since I did not have time to adjust my pin for the yardage.

My only concern with a single pin - when I had time to make adjustments it was great. I have seen some where you just adjust it by rotating a few clicks for the range difference, that style may work well. The kind I have now you have to loosen a knob and slide the sight up and down to markings you make for various ranges on a tape. Loosening the knob a little once you settle in for the hunt works, but still takes time away from the shot

A better comparison would be, that HHA is the Whisker Biscuit of the single pin sliders.

It's crude but widely popular, BUT there are better alternatives out there. And at the same time, it will still "get the job done".

As I said, the biggest complaint I had with one was that it is heavy. It's actually just unbalanced for the weight...it's really short and compact so there's no room to evenly distribute the weight. And unless they've changed something...you can expect the black screws/bolts to rust too. I had mine for a season and never hunted in the rain but just the bow "sweating" from going from the cool house to the humid outdoors, was enough to make it turn rusty on the bolts and look like I had-had it for about 10 yrs.

You can have the best of both worlds and shoot a multi pin slider. I currently shoot a 3 pin Black Gold Ascent. My pins are 25,40,50 and my 50 yard pin is a .010 that I have marked on the tape and can move down to shoot out to 120 yards.

no adjustment necessary. locked on 23 yds, i am 3 inches high at 15 yds, 6 inches low at 35.

 

[k-i-d-d]

Agree with Gobblegrunt... Spot Hogg hands down... Since I got the Tommy Hogg, my HHA slider has been in the closet... lol

 

[bowhunter163]

Ok so I tried an Apex Covert today and ended up keeping it on my bow . This little thing is sweet ! It's not very expensive and built great ! It really suprised me and I would recommend it to anyone so far . Will update on how well it holds together .

I used a multi pin all my life until 3d season this past spring when i went to an HHA. I thought i would go back to a multi pin for deer season but why? I practice from my stand regularly and with the setup I'm shooting now i set my pin on 30yds. @20yds I'm 1 1/2" high and @40yds I'm 3 1/2" low. This gives me the ability to make a "quick" shot from 0-40 yards without adjusting a thing plus my sight picture is clean and simple to read in the heat of the moment. If i have to shoot past 40yds then i would be taking plenty of time for a shot like that anyhow to make sure that i can range and adjust accordingly.

 

[muddyboots]

I have an hha and it is a good sight. For some reason I want a trophy ridge react one.

 

[turf08]

Trijicon!!

 

[Boone 58]

I have the HHA.

I read years ago about worlds best bowhunter,who killed animals at 100 yds often. His sights were 20-40-60-80-100 the pins were far enough from each other that you can see clearly for those 30-50-70-90 yds shots. After using single pins for 15 yrs I tried it and love it, I only have 3 set on 20, 40, 60 you never know when you want to shoot at clear open shot of a turkey or the long shot practicing which is the best practice for close shots
