Bow sight?

HHA optimizer elite is a awesome sight. Stay away from the g5 with the floater pins unless they have change since I last shot them. 2c

The best I have found are the Montana Black Gold. I've got a 5 pin with the ascent mount and I would definitely get another one. The fiber is super bright and very solid.

HHA Single Pin slider.

Works great and it looks nice on the HeliM... wink

I do alot af target shooting, 3D's and long distance shooting, so I wanted alot of adjustability.

When hunting I pretty much leave it set to 27 yards and with the Helim I shoot I am good from 10-35 yards with only a couple of inches of variance.

So many great sights available! I'd pick one that has tooless adjustment, wrapped fiber optic, protected pins, and accepts a light (if you do much blind hunting.) I'm a long time HHA user myself, but there are several other manufactures that have great sights I'd be proud to own. Determine how many pins you want, diameter, cost, etc and start your search.

Sights are so subjective, its hard to choose based on opinions of posters. There are many great sight companies, and many different configurations, and options for wrapped pins, etc. Currently I am shooting a 7-pin SpotHogg that I custom selected pin size, color and configuration (and it accepts a variable power sight light that I occasionally use). I have no complaints.

If I were buying today, I'd maybe look into the IQ sight(s). I like the concept and idea of eliminating torque and peep reliance. Otherwise, I like the SpotHogg.

I love my IQ sight because I can shoot without a peep. Hate the peep!

Without a peep installed I can shoot in any light and don't have to worry about peep rotation or a rubber band aimed at my eye.

I have the Montana black gold redzone hd and I can say it is the best sight I have ever owned.brightest pins out there never need a light with this sight plus excellent customer service with lifetime warranty.

I had a Montana Black Gold several years ago and the pins would strip out if I tightened them too much. If I didn't tighten them, the pin would eventually work loose. I called them and all they would tell me is not to tighten them too much. I ended up throwing it in the garbage and bought a Tru Glo and haven't looked back.

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st

      As I get older it's really not just about sending bullets down range.  Some of it's just the workmanship of the gun and the wow factor. The other two guns I have really wanted which I'll never have now because of their price, is a 8mm Jap Nambu and 9mm German Luger.   Just thought they always looked cool!
