Sabo Sights

Anyone have any experience with this site? It seems to be promising and eliminates the use of a peep site all together. Tactical Archery makes it. I think the site is pretty new.

The Sabo sights surprisingly is still bright when it starts to get dark out. I just got out today and started to site it in. I started at 20 yards and zeroed in. 30 yards was just as good as 20 yards.

Here are the pro and cons in my opinion.

Pros.
1. Sites will show if you torque your bow.(This is the biggest gain for me on this sight).
2. All Aluminum construction
3. Dots seem to show up for 95% of the backgrounds. White background it's tough.
4. Helps you keep consistent form

Cons.
1. With fast bows the dots don't stack on top of each other very close.
2. The long arm that hold the fiber optic housing seems to vibrate allot after the arrow is shot.
3. Adjusting the pins are easy but getting them to stay in place when tightening them can be a little bit of a challenge.
4. The 20 yard triangle on the lens is a sticker. I think new models coming out are going to painted on. I painted mine on so it's not an issue anymore.
5. Red dots extremely hard to see against white. All darker colors show up well.


Overall I am happy with the sight. I need to retry out my 40 yard shot after I allow my arms to rest up. I was shaking a little when I was doing the 40 yard shot in the video tonight. Even though the dots don't stack up close for faster bows, what I did was just had the 20 yard sited in then got all the dots spaced out so dot 1 is 20 yards, between dot 1 and dot 2 is 30 yards, dot 2 is 40 yards then dot 3 is 50 yards. I doubt in my area I hunt I will be shooting beyond 30 yards. At 30 yards I could only shoot 1-3 arrows but didn't do more than that because I didn't want to ruin my arrows since they were grouping so close together. One thing I was told is that you won't need peep sites anymore. I am sure this is true but my problem I had was that when I anchored correctly the string seemed to be in my line of site and in the way. The advantage of till using your peep is that you can split the string to line up right with the site. It may just be me. I will take my peep off soon and see if it makes a difference. using the peep to help site in the 20 yard mark was nice.

I think the biggest advantage of this sight is the fact that it tells you if you are not holding correct form or torquing your bow. You will find that your shots will become tighter and form better.

One of my concerns is how will this sight hold up in the rain and how tough it can be when in the woods. I have the Axcel sites which are excellent sites but wanted to try Sabo out. Glad I did.
