Thinking about HHA

[UTGrad]

Since I am shooting at longer distances more, I am considering going to a single pin set up. I am looking at HHA due to their reputation and market share.

What about this model?

Thats the one I got. I will never shoot multi pins again. I got the 2x lens and plan on geting a 4x or 6x or both soon. They are well built and deadly accurate. The single pin helps me take some of the confusion out of my shots. When I hunt I usually leave it on 25 or 30 yds in case something comes in fast and i cant get a range on it.

I have the HHA 5000 and love it. I shoot it out to 80 yards.

I have been working on keeping the target in my primary vision and the pins in my secondary vision (Core Archery by Larry Wise). With this method it is more difficult to pull off with multi pins.

IMO buying a product based on "market share" and "reputation" is a dumb move. That being said I have a single pin non adjustable that I put on my wife's bow. She says and I agree the apature is too small. Past that it is a solid sight.

Oh really...a company that has a solid reputation and sells alot of sights isn't a bad choice. I'm not sure how you could call that a dumb move.I guess all the people shooting HHA must be dumb as well.

Id like to have one for target shooting but dont think that I would like it for hunting.

I've got an HHA single pin but had them mail be the fixed bracket for mine. So mine doesn't have that moveable dial. I've got mine set dead on at 30 yards and can shoot out to 45yards. I love a single pin and will never go back to multiple pins!

Thats the reason I got rid of the HHA and switch to a plain ole single pin vertical sight.

I wasn't aware that I could order a new bracket for it.

 

[UTGrad]

Can the dial be locked down so you can lock it in at 30 but still have the option to adjust if needed?

 

[Double-D-Team]

UTGrad ???

How far do you want to shoot?

 

[lung-buster]

Yep the dial can be locked. The knob on the yardage wheel will screw in or out locking it in place.

 

[UTGrad]

How far do you want to shoot?

Hunting: no more than 35 yards

Target: as far as possible!

Single pin sights are the best I have used for hunting . Most are based on the same basic design , so pick the one that suits you and your budget , not based on market share . HHA are good sights , but there are many other sights with the same design and features .

 

[UTGrad]

You guys are really beating me up on me using the word "market share". If a sight has good features, a solid reputation, good customer service, and large market share (i.e. alot of people are using them) that is a good indicator that the sight is a solid choice. I love my Black Gold sights and some people haven't even heard of them, but they got some of the best sights in the business.

HHA cust. service is good. I had trouble finding the tapes for the wheel. The ones for the slide design are diffrent. I shot them an email and in a couple of days a complete set of tapes and a decal were sent to me free.

Cool...does the set of tapes come with the initial tape needed to help select the right tape for your bow?

Without a dought a single pin sight w/ slide bar is the ticket...
Now which one? Go to a dealer an look at them all, before you pick. At 35 yards all of them will work. Go with what you like. I'll promise you this that in a few years you will change everything again...Trust me, its the bowhunters way of life...LOL!!!

It comes with a bunch of tapes. There are good instructions on how to get it set up for the right speed. Probly took me 30min to get it set up. I think it comes with 3 set up tapes.

I shoot an HHA XL 5500 single pin. Larger aperture for my old eyes..

I thought the same. Now i have got 3 of them and love them... I have them both on 3D and hunting bows.

On my hunting setup i keep it locked on 25yrds... Im good from 5yrd out to 36 yrds without having to move it. Impact at 36 yrd is top of the heart.

Customer service is great as well. Had the fiber break sent it back to them they re-wrapped it at no charge.

UTGrad, I see you on AT and just wanted to let you know that most people that use HHA sights are shooting 3D. IMO, that's a terrible choice for a hunting sight. I've used one and still have it (in a pile of junk in the garage) but once it costs you a good buck, you'll be looking for something else. The last thing I want to be doing when a buck comes in is fumbling with my sight.

I have to disagree . I use moveable sights and lock mine down at 25 yards for hunting and never move it . Best sight I have used for hunting , bar none .

Understand your opinion. I like the yardage tape that comes with the DS models. Gives to the yard accuracy. Now, I'm probably not good enough to maximize this feature, but I'm sure it helps.

Never did like the idea of have to adjust my sight if a deer stepped out at a longer yardage. Sometimes all you have is a split second to draw and shoot.Looking back on this past season if I had been using a single pin it would have cost me my best deer to date.

My point exactly. The longer you use one, the more you see how useless it is in the deer woods. I've got way more important things to be doing than fiddling with my sight when a shooter buck walks in bow range. I want my hunting setup as simple and foolproof as possible.

 

[rdwood]

I used a multi pin sight and switched to an HHA last year. Honestly there is no comparison. Single pins are the way to go IMO. I didnt like drawing back on a deer or turkey and seeing the pins turn into a blur. I also lock mine at 25 yds and it is accurate out to 40 yds. Different strokes though.

How many other sites have you tried other than black gold.

I have been using moveable sights for about 4 seasons now , and never moved one in a hunting situation . I keep it locked down at 25 yards for hunting and I have shot deer out to 35 yards .
With the speed of the bows these days , multiple sight pins are unnecessary . The average killing shot at a eastern whitetail is still less than 25 yards.

Lord knows you need it that way. Couldn't resist .

I guess if I shot scrubs like you, I wouldn't even nock an arrow until he was 10 yards. Gotta give the little guys a chance.
