Good choice, I like a couple models from trophy ridge.

I am still looking for that perfect design for my needs. A few are close to what I am looking for. So if I can`t wait any longer at least my research has lead me to an ideal second choice grouping.

Yeah !, can`t wait to see the pics.
I`ll be more interested in a product review post.
Talking about the difference in shooting and accuracy changes.
Hopefully for the better.

Keep us posted.

will be glad to give a review. anything is better than the sucky sites that came with it. the site pins are huge. at 10 yds. it is fine, at 20yds it covers up the center of my "Block" completely. i wanna say it is a 4in. circle. it is a Reflex Excursion. came with a quiver and sights. love the bow and quiver. hate the sights. will get back to ya on it.

Both my hunting bow and my target bow have Trophy Ridge sights. 3 pin on the hunting bow and a 5 pin on my 3D bow.

bow sights

You guys should look into the HHA 5000 series. The single pin is awsome. I have a three pin. They are very bright. The single pin is so bright that it comes with a sun shade that screws over the housing to cover up the fiber optics. It has like 5 feet of fiber optics. The shade is adjustable so you can make the pin sight brighter as it gets dark. If you dont use it the pin is so bright that has a hallo around it in the direct sunlight.

well, I received the sight Fri. 5-20. It was extremely easy to assemble and mount on my bow(Reflex Excursion). After I had it mounted I went outside and started to sight it in. The micro adjustments on the sight are almost a gimme in ease of use. The sight pins adjust up and down with the flip of a lever and sliding a second lever, where my old sight had to have allen wrenches to do everything. The vertical pins also open up my sight picture so I can see more of the target, which aids in shooting. To make the sight even better it comes with a lifetime warranty. I would recommend the Trophy Ridge Matrix to anyone who bow hunts and wants an easy to use sight that is top quality. On a scale of 1-10 in satisfaction with the Trophy Ridge Micro Matrix Guide Series sight, I would have to say 11.
