Spot Hogg Compound Bow Sights

 

Spot Hogg Bow Sights have become quite the success story through the years. Spot Hogg entered the archery world as an idea to create a better bow release in 1987. In the two decades since it began as an at home business, it has grown significantly and provides thousands of archers with high quality products that not only increase their success, but also improve the overall shooting experience.

As such, all Spot Hogg Bow sights offer many features, no matter what the shooter is looking for. The Grinder was designed with the hunter in mind. It is a solid aluminum frame construction offered in both a 3 and 5 pin setup encased in Spot Hogg’s new MRT pin guard. It is rugged and compact, making it the company’s lightest fixed pin sight. Gang adjustments are optional, but simplistic and durable.

The Fast Eddie Spot Hogg bow sight comes in a 1, 2, 3 and 5 sight pin setup in an MRT pin housing. The mount is a solid fixed aluminum construction. Coarse adjustments are available both horizontally and vertically with the 2nd and 3rd axis offering micro adjustments, all of this completely tool-less. A silent, quick release look for yardage knob has also been improved with better grip and more relief from the sight type. Spot Hogg’s HRD (Hardened Rail Design) technology has also eliminated bushings, which causes little to no slop or buzz.

The Fast Eddie XL Spot Hogg bow sight is a slightly larger option with all of the same specs except that it also includes a lightweight 6-inch dovetail sight bar with quick release bow mount.

The Hogg Father is one of Spot Hogg’s first freestyle sight offerings. The dovetail bar is removable. A quick release knob and removable rack are standard features, which is ideal seeing as a travel case is also included to aid in protecting the sight. It comes in a 1, 2, 3, and 5 pin setup encased in an MRT pin housing. Tool-less coarse adjustments are available both horizontally and vertically with the 2nd and 3rd axis offering micro adjustments. Micro windage and elevation adjustments are also tool-less. The pointer is adjustable. All knobs, as well as the sight scale are precision engraved and easy to see. The yardage knob is also large and easy to use. A universal scope rod comes with this sight. The sight scale is compatible with many archery programs.

The Tommy Hogg comes in a 1, 2, 3, and 5 pin setup in either a small or large MRT guard. The construction of the sight is a rugged aluminum body. As with previous Spot Hogg bow sights, horizontal and vertical adjustments are coarse, but 2nd and 3rd axis adjustments are micro. Windage and elevation adjustments are also tool-less. The yardage knob is large and easy to use. Precision, laser engraved sight scale and knob marks make adjustments easy to see. Spot Hogg’s HRD technology is also used in this sight. The sight scale is compatible with archery programs.

The Hogg It is new for the 2017 season. It is the company’s most complete, micro-adjustable fixed pin sight. Hogg It comes in a 3 and 5 pin setup in an MRT pin guard. The quick release Hogg Knob offers simple and fast removal. A no clamp, micro gang adjustment also offers the shooter easily made changes. 2nd and 3rd axis adjustments are micro. All of this is mounted to a 6.5-inch dovetail mount.

The Hunter is another sight that Spot Hogg offers. It is effectively the same as Hogg It, but offers a rigid plate mount instead of the dovetail mount offered by Hogg It.

The Spark is an industry first, offering a lit reticle with rheostat intensity. It comes in two models, The Hunter and The Pro. Both include a selection of 0x, 2x, 4x, and 6x lens that has an anti-scratch and anti-reflective coating. The lit reticle is etched into the lens while also offering an adjustable rheostat brightness. Rheostat color options are red, white, blue, and green. The Pro also includes multiple alignment rings for added precision as well as a raised level to account for the alignment rings. It comes with the Hogg Mob mount, while The Hunter only includes a universal mount.

Rounding out the list of Spot Hogg’s bow sights is the Double Pin. It has a single vertical Bulletproof pin with dual aiming points available in .010, .019, and .029 thicknesses. There are two alignment ring options, a single ring, and triple ring option. This archery sight includes a precision level and is lens ready. The Double Pin is primarily used in conjunction with one of the adjustable sights previously mentioned, as it will fit any of them once mounted on a threaded rod.

Versa-Pin technology is also included, allowing the shooter to change pin color and thickness easily in the field.
The Covert Four-Pin offers everything the Covert Single-Pin offers but is a multi-pin version of the previously mentioned Apex bow sight.

An Opti-Choice pin selector is available on the five-pin version, allowing the user to illuminate individual pins on three different brightness levels. This Apex archery sight also includes Gravity-Line rotational technology and an illuminated level. The bracket is reversible.

Truglo Compound Bow Sights

The Truglo Bow Sight Advantage

Truglo bow sights have been a heavy competitor when it comes to highly visible archery sights in low light conditions. Truglo focuses to enhance the overall ambient lighting during poor visibility due to lack of light. Ensuring that aiming and preparing for the perfect shot isn’t affected, in spite of the light intensity.

Fiber optics are cables which transmit light. When utilized as pins in bow sights, the cables harness ambient light and discharge it from the opening in the end. In return, this allows the small tips of fiber optic pins glow very bright, which makes them much easier to see in dim conditions.

Fiber-optic sights have grown to be extremely popular by hunters who understand that extra visibility is critical. Especially when it comes to early morning or late evening, as this is when game is most likely to be active.

Truglo claims that their bow sights are the brightest fiberoptic sights available today. Their sight pins are extremely bright and excel at daybreak, dusk as well as in any other low light conditions. Truglo has always had the reputation for providing highly visible archery sights, which has always been their top marketing tool. With that being said, they also are built to last as well as provide a variety of different models.

TRUGLO Carbon XS 4 Pin Camo bow sight

The TRUGLO Carbon XS 4 Pin Camo bow sight incorporates a small push-button light with Truglo’s extra-long fully protected fibers. Its large sight housing increases visibility as well as the ability to establish correct alignment, due to the level that is positioned at the bottom of the sight housing. Some sights also integrate LED lights to further improve the fiber-optics.

Truglo Range Rover Bow Sight

The TRUGLO Archer’s Choice Range Rover Pro Green Dot sight is a viable choice among the finest compound bow sights because of its simplicity as well as long range accuracy. It provides an excellent alternative to a single pin bow sight featuring its slider sight, micro knob windage, elevation adjustment as well as 11 brightness settings.

Truglo Carbon Hybrid Micro Bow Sight

TruGlo’s Carbon Hybrid Micro 5 Light 19 XTR bow sight raises the bar when it comes to lightweight multi-pin sights. This sight is lightweight and manufactured from carbon composite and aluminum which creates less vibration. The ambidextrous design is ideal for either left or right-handed archers.

The reversible bracket provides a greater vertical adjustment range. A distinctive metal pin for durability, long fibers for optimum brightness and an extra-long bracket which improves sight radius all make this a superior compound bow sight. The combination of carbon composites and aluminum deliver exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and unequalled strength.

Truglo Pendulum Bow Sight

One of the top sights among tree stand hunters is the TRUGLO Pendulum. Unbelievably quiet it is one of the most advanced archery sights on the market as it automatically compensates up to 35 yards from an elevated position, it can also be locked in place when shooting from the ground. Truglo bow sights are a great addition to any bow.

These sights are high quality and provide multiple models that suit everyone’s budget. So, if you are in the market for a new sight, checkout out what Truglo has to offer!
