20 Best Pistol Sights For Old Eyes (2023 Updated)

Im enjoying the sight so far. I lowered my first pin so that I can see more of a deer in the sight picture. It defaults rather high in the sight which wouldnt be a problem just shooting targets, but would be an issue for me in a hunting situation.

Even though I moved my 20 yard pin down, Im still able to sight in out to 60 yards. Dont be discouraged if you have a little trouble with setup. Take your time and watch videos. Itll all come together.

If you have another person available during setup it would be helpful. As you calibrate the sight for different yardages, youll range your target at XX yards, then the sight will ask Do you want to calibrate for 30 yards? Youll have to let down and hit Ok, then shoot.

These are just my thoughts. Its great so far. I also used it alongside my Nikon rangefinder and the Garmin always gives me the same yardage as the Nikon.

I was a crossbow hunter for 30 years. I decided to change to compound when I learned some areas consider crossbow to be a firearm. I have a bucket list moose archery hunt was planned and we were leaving in 60 days.

My big issue was seeing those pins at 57 years old. I bought a bow and had tech change all 4 pins to green. I also added a verifier and started shooting. I quickly became proficient out to 20 yds. Getting good with a bow means doing repetitive steps correctly everytime.

Range finding is another one of those steps and guessing 1/2 way between pins was tricky. I purchased A1i and installed it. Set up was fairly easy however one of the bolts was easily stripped out. I contacted Garmin and had Zero response.

This is so unusual because my Garmin GPS, fish finder, watch have had amazing arrive response. After calibrating the sight I started shooting. I am blown away how fast and accurate I can shoot from 5-40yds.

Daw bow back, push button to align range, release button move green dot to target and release. Crazy fast, crazy accurate. I would have given it 5 stars if Garmin had of responded!.

This is an awesome product. The future tech feel of a sight that finds the range and gives you a pin is exciting. I’m especially pleased with the red dot pins. They adjust brightness automatically and can be set by the user.

The absence of pin arms really clears up your sight picture. I can shoot much tighter groups with this sight (I used to have a 5 pin $200ish sight). I can’t think of a drawback. Yes, it is expensive, but it’s a value given all the features.

Once you have it set up, you push a button, which you attach to your bow with tape (it is connected by a 12 inch or so cable that runs from the removable battery cover), to find the range. The rangefinding is not connected to drawing, so you can use that function before or after drawing (that is, you can set your range based on the trail you think game will take, but you can also change it before release).

The sight will then project an LED dot on the glass screen (which is incredibly clear – people asked me whether there was anything there at all). That’s it – aim at the pin and enjoy your bullseye.

Perfect match for a 2007 SeaRay 44 Sedan Bridge . Here in one day

Excellent peep,no sharp edges to cut. I chose black but these come in many colors and sizes definitely recommend.

My stock peep didn’t last long. I visited the Arkansas Cabelas and the gentlemen in the archery department were great. They didn’t push any particular product but I decided on this peep. It has lasted great and is working up to the expectations I had for it.

Installed with a new string and it works great. No more rubber band .

I hunted with this sight last year. The bow tech couldn’t figure out how to adjust it left to right. I was unable to use the last two pins, as they wouldn’t move. Sitting in my bow case, the housing cracked.

I practiced from February to September, was still not shooting how I wanted to when I went hunting. My sight also came lose during the hunt, causing me to shoot a few inches low at 20 yards. I don’t know how that happened.

Problems aside, it did not ruin last year’s hunt. I still wound up with a great first deer with a bow buck. 4*7 non typical white tail. But because I was unable to move the final 2 pins, it cracked on the cover, chilling in my bow case, and how it mysteriously came lose, I have to give it a one star review.

It shouldn’t have these problems. Do not buy this sight.

This sight is easy to micro adjust each pin. Each pin is mounted to a threaded rod. Turning the rod will move the pin a precise amount. The reason for 4 stars and not 5 is that the two holes designed to mount the quiver were not threaded.

This was a manufactures error as I have seen others on the store shelf that were threaded. Somehow mine got through quality control and did not get threaded. I did not have time to send it back, and I have a tap and die set, so I treaded the holes myself.

Easy fix. Works great.

This is a great sight that sets up so easily. To have seven pins dialed-in out to 80 yards in a matter of minutes is so convenient (without having to mess with sight tapes). The React technology is great for a beginner or the experienced archer who wants mathematical precision to fit their personal set-up.

I used this sight on my last elk hunt – it was durable and maintained accuracy throughout the hunt. I would definitely recommend this sight without reservation!!.

I have one on each of my bows. No need for a more expensive sight. This sight is easily adjusted and takes just a few minutes to be dead on with fixed or mechanical heads.

I got these sights in the mail and did not know how well they would work. light mainly lights up the first pin but still gives enough light for you to easily see the other pins. Frame is very durable.

Love the level on the sights bottom of the sights. I am 13 and this fit my bow really well. I have nothing but praise for these sights. (Can’t wait to hunt in a few weeks!).

Made as good as the PSE branded one that came on my bow, this has the smaller pin diameter is the only reason for the swap. The led light is going to be useless, it really only lights the first pin due to the angle and the fact it’s a blue led.

They should have made it white light and it should be pointed toward the fibers at the base straight down instead at the pin heads at an angle. All in all it’s a good budget sight.

Instructions are stamped on the housing along with center line and increments. Simply read them. I recommended dousing it down in WD-40 and letting it set for a while before using, also run all the adjustments in and out several times and before each use.

Quality is good but I wouldnt consider it a precision tool. Check all the adjustment wheels and snug them with the included Allen wrench, one of mine wasnt tightened at all and was loose in the box. A good oiling and work out should remove any burrs or imperfect threads.

Take your time and dont force it, it could break. If it feels like its binding up, stop and check your work. it should work with just your hands. Ive seen some pics of some wrecked sights and I just have to think someone should have paid to have the work done.

Came in a nice case with 2 sets of jaws and a Allen wrench. I just put 4 sets of night sights on so its already paid for itself times 2. Should last a long time if its taken care of. Happy with purchase and recommended if you have decent basic mechanical knowledge.

Title says it all. I had my doubts, wondering if the aluminum housing would stand up to the alleged super human powers of the factory installed XD sights, but after insuring pusher to slide clearance fore and aft, and left and right and adding a piece of large wire tie to shim one side of the slide in addition to the provided plastic pads to keep it horizontal, two moderate turns of my 15mm wrench resulted in the pop of surrender as the rear sight slid off with minimal pressure.

The replacement sight slid in with only hand cranking the crank rod furnished. Removing the front sight required removing the elevation table and placing the slide where the recoil spring is held in the hole vacated by the elevation table screw and shimming the slide with the plastic pads and my wire tie as with the rear sights.

No wrench was required to remove the front sight, merely hand turning the provided crank. Reinstallation was equally easy after moving the wire tie shim to the opposite side of the slide. Maybe I got lucky, but I believe that with careful layout regarding insuring clearance, and shimming to insure the slide stays parallel to the line of push, my results can be repeated.

The provided pads can not be expected to support the XD slide and must be shimmed! Clamping the pusherto a table or in a vise is a great help. Best of luck, yall!.

I have personally never used another sight pusher but this one got the job done. Centering the upper was impossible so using the little adjustment Guage on top is not helpful at all. Everything is metal and plastic so be sure to not scratch your slide.

Use the plastic inserts that come with it and be certain there is perfect clearance between your upper and the sight pusher. The pusher actually bent my OEM glock sight but I didn’t care since I was replacing it with the Truglo TFX pro.

Very difficult to fully center the sight because sight is impaired by device; after several attempts I finally got it visually centered (will have to test it soon). Additionally, be sure to oil all threads very well because they are very sticky to start.

Use a good gun oil and coat every thread very well for optimum effectiveness of adjusting arms. Overall the quality of the device is 8/10 but it sure gets the job done. If you’re trying decide between a more expensive rear sight tool and this one, choose this one.

Have some patience and figure out how to use it before making your first attempt and you’ll be happy. The tool comes in an awesome carrying case and I believe it would work for any sight adjustment of any pistol.

For precise centering of sight, you will need to make multiple attempts and use a micrometer. But overall, as long as you’re careful and patient, you cannot get a better valued product. Pros: inexpensive, great value, works on any sight, gets the job done.

Con: metal (up and down) adjustment needs to be padded as the included plastic protection piece moves around when adjusting slide.

One 5-star review with no words. If you are going to use with a peep-sight, then this is 4-stars. The reason for the deduction is the green parts reflect light which is not desired for hunting. I got this for the Retinal Lock which allows shooting without a peep-sight.

The Retinal Lock would only hold alignment for, at most, 4 shots. That is with a new V-3 bow that has hardly any vibration. Another user had the same issue and Cabelas suggested using Loctite which is not a viable solution.

IQ said to run the sight screws to the stops a few times which was no help to me. Once Retinal Lock would shift eye location from the left of the string to the right with about 3 arrows. Enough so the arrows would not hit the shooting bag at 10 yards.

They have made this product for 10+ years but it looks like they started skimping. Retinal Lock is a great concept, but this is a poor implementation.

I bought this to replace a trophy tidge sight that broke on me while i was out hunting. I wanted a solid sight made of all metal and that had a reputation of being solid and reliable. The IQ micro is solid and I’m sure it is reliable however it really didnt work for me.

The white ring in the face of the sight was very difficult to aquire for me, the bubble level was very small and therefore was very sensitive which could be good or bad depending on your perspective.

I found that trying to aquire the sight face, setting my pin on target then having to level out THEN having to try and set my retna lock only to see I was no longer level again was very fatiguing. By the time i let my shot off I had been holding my anchor for far to long.

I use a rear peep on my bow and I found that when I was in my comfortable anchor point I wasn’t able to completely aquire the retna lock and even maxed out the setting to set the lock as far as I could to the left.

Even after the adjustment was maxed out I was still not meeting centre on the retina lock. As most reviews outlined, the fiber optics are dim. Not dramatically dim like some people reported but I cound trophy ridge to be significantly brighter.

I really liked how the construction was all aluminium and it felt solid as a rock. The single pin adjustments were great and solid with no loose wobble like a trophy ridge. It had really nice gang adjustments that were nice and firm.

However i found that after adjusting my vertical adjustment it had scratched the paint on its self. When I sighted it in I found my groups were actually worse than ever. I was able to shoot of my fletching at 20yds with a trophy ridge 5 pin and with the IQ Micro I found I would consistantly be trying to find the face to centre the sight and would be trying to level off and find the retna lock which would result in fatigue and overall poor groups.

I eventually just cranked the retina lock out of the picture and was able to close the group but not to a satisfying degree. Overall it wasn’t a good fit for me, maybe give it a chance as it is built pretty tough but I feel for the price I paid and all the hype of being able to shoot super tight groups it came up short.

I will be returning this and putting my money on a Spot Hogg. Pros Solid build quality. Nice gang adjustment. Very solid pins. Cons Poor sight face ring. Leveling bubble was small and hard to see. Gang adjustment scratched the paint.

Pins were dim even in daylight. Retna lock did not work for *me*. Hard to set up sight picture before a shot.

I purchased this sight specifically for 3d archery shootiing BHFS class. I have another IQ sight with 7 pins that I use for hunting that has worked well and has been relatively durable over the last few years.

I really like the retina lock technology and believe that it helps in accuracy and shooting form development. After reading about the additional features on the IQ Pro XT , I ordered it on Ebay. Shipping was quick and I had it in hand within a few days.

Setting the sight up was basic and I found the dovetail mounting system to be as advertised. The sight bar does offer lenghth adjustment to match the sight ring to your peep size for ring in the ring sight picture.

The micro adjustments for vertical and horizontal are very precise with click adjustments and in theory the tooless locking levers is a nice feature. The horizontal gang adjustment is dove tail in design and works fairly well other than the anodized finish easily comes off and leaves permanent marks with bare aluminum after several adjustments.

The vertical gang adjusments on the other hand are accomplished with a screw and carraige clamp and us not nearly as solid as a dovetail mount. I found that the tooless lever had been over tightened at the factory, and an allen wrench was required to release itfor adjustment.

After several adjustments to the vertical bar the back side of the track system developed bare aluminum and gouged out indentations where the over sized screw head clamps the mounting track. The pins are nice quality but I found adjusting them a little frustrating when setting thr pin gaps.

They are difficult to move and when they do move they move all at once. So I found that I had to chase the position back and forth until I got them set where i wanted them. Once set they do hold in place nicely.

Overall this sight has all the basic features as advertised but I believe that the aluminum used in its construction is a bit soft and the individual pin adjustment and vertical adjustment track is of poor design.

I expected better guality in a sight that sells in the 200 dollar range.

Left and right locking adjustment comes loose, only 4 mounting points on dovetail, pins fiberoptics dont get enough light exposure, level bubble is part of the sight ring(and not inside the sight ring, very bad placement) yardage indicator cannot be set all along the slider, not enough mounting points.

Individual pins “micro adjustment” is numb feeling and difficult to measure how much movement you are adding to pins position(lack of score marks). Had one other CBE sight before this one (TL7) and was a little better but also disappointing.

Left and right would walk and wife had to pain the sight ring fluorescent orange to make it consistent for locating in peep. The metal sight tapes are REALLY nice tho.

I have been using this sight for a few months. It is very smooth and easy to set-up. I like the bright green pin housing, making lining up with your peep sight easy. I love the metal yardage plates, they look awesome and you never need to worry about weather.

Issues: The biggest problem I found, like others who have reviewed this sight, is the housing is loose. It rattles as you move. It did not effect my shooting accuracy but it made noise and felt unstable.

I contacted CBE twice and never got a response, which was very frustrating. I was able to fix the issue by cranking down of the windage dial. This fixed the rattling issue but I cannot use the micro windage adjustments anymore.

This sight has more adjustment options than any other sight I’ve used. The option of stationary pins with one floating pin that allows me a range of 20-100 yards. Not to mention the adjustment system on this sight is amazing!! Detent clicks heard and felt while adjusting.

Also the individual pin adjustment is better than anything I have seen, well though out details with this sight.

I bought this because I went the cheap route previously. By far the best sight I have used, spend the money you won’t be disappointed. If you change out sights regularly it’s worth the money. If you only change out one or two you can get by much cheaper.

The quality is there it makes it effortless. Highly recommend.

IšverstiShow in original languageVery tight fit. Have to lube it and work it with pliers with first use. After that, it is much easier to get off and on. Light works great.

IšverstiShow in original languageGreat addition to Hogg scopes. Lets you keep shooting after the daylight no longer illuminates the pins. Light, easy to install and easy to work. I recommend it.

IšverstiShow in original languageUsing on the MRT Spot Hogg Hunter, light is bright and no wasted light bled. It can be used on other sights also. Batteries used are (3) 392 watch batteries which are expensive at $5.

99 in retail stores. I bought my batteries on Ebay (in a ten pack) and they are much cheaper.

I only gave the product a 3 star rating because it is supplied with a plumb line that drops between the bulls-eye and the floor. The idea being to be able to place the eye alignment board at the centre of the dartboard at floor level.

However, the weight they have attached to hold the line taught in position is too light and not therefore not fit for purpose. This weight should be several times heavier to hold the line vertical and straight.

Will the manufacturers please add sufficient weight to make this usable.

I have bought one of the before and I do it very helpful it improved my game heaps .I gave that one to my cousin so he could practise and I have this one brilliant. Thanku

Easy to use and has made huge improvements in my game already. My mates are shocked at how much better my darts are. the whole reason behind buying it in the first place. Still have heaps to improve on but has been an excellent start.

Decent sight. The build is solid but it doesn’t come with Allen’s or any wrenches for the micro adjust. I had to go try out a bunch of different ones at a hardware store to even get one to fit. Kind of disappointing when you buy a 300 dollar bowsight that doesn’t even tel you what kind of Allen to buy separate.

I have owned other basic radar speed detection units that simply did not work further away that a few yards. This PR1000 works very accurately at over 100 feet away, whether it is a baseball, or a running child, or a moving car.

It detects speed accurately with approaching objects, departing objects, and objects traveling transversely to the radar (sideways). Also highly recommend the “ultra weather proof police body cam” for sale by toptensale to help set up an undetectable documentation system for severe speeders.

Excellent purchase, especially for documenting the speed of neighbors unconcerned with the safety of the children in the area. Highly recommend, especially for the size. Smaller than an iphone 4.

My hood is filled with a lot of folks of every age, culture, and language- speeding down my street. I wanted to know exactly how fast over the posted 30 mph they were going and I wanted to be incognito while doing it.

The point was to produce a survey of days, times, hours, and may some video to show the police department why speed bumps would be advantageous on many of the streets in town. I do not have enough info to share at this time but the project is slowly coming together, and this little device is the key player.

It looks like an ipod or smartphone, lightweight, and amazingly accurate. I tried it while driving in my car- the ones passing me on the freeway were actually speedoing 15-20 mph faster than I. The speeds on my street were10-15 mph higher- fortunately no one has been hit yet, except a mile away a lady was speeding to make the green light turning yellow and then red, hit and killed a pedestrian, and left the scene.

She was later arrested (age 41) for vehicular manslaughter with 5-10 years looking her in the eye.

Do research at the Pocket Radar site before purchasing. Classic PR1000 is not meant to be used to measure ball speed or exit velocity. While it will give you some readings, it is not consistent or accurate.

Does fine measuring car speeds.

Just for plinking at the range, the fancy targets get expensive. These target spots and 100 paper plates and you are good to go. Spots were under $7 and cheapie paper plates were under $3, so you get 100 targets for about $10.

Save the fancy ones for when you are seriously shooting. Never had a problem with them not sticking, and they are easy to see. Our range has gray hard foam squares that you stick your targets with tacks or staples.

Hits are easy to see with the darker background of the foam showing thru. This is my second batch, and well worth the few bucks!.

Great Only problem is that once you buy from Domagron, you will never ever cease to receive their emails. They thank you for buying about twenty times. Then they email you to say they are sorry if they did something to offend because you haven’t bought targets again in.

3 weeks. Then they send you those emails to review a product you have bought and reviewed before. I swear I’m afraid I’ll have a visit from the CEO next time I don’t buy anything for one year Targets are good though.

Nice thick paper, aiming black dark with sharp scoring ring edges. 22 rimfire and. 223 match bullets cut clean holes with almost no tear out with multiple rounds enlarging the same hole. Fast shipping & packaged well.

We recently bought a property large enough to set up an extensive air rifle range replete with benches, a plate rack, spinner targets, and static targets. Reactive targets are easy to see hits on from a distance, but we needed something to use on the static target line.

These fit the bill perfectly and hits are easily visible though the scope at 25 yards. A nice deal on a very functional target!.

Got these for hubby and son to use with their bb guns they got for Christmas. Hours of fun at a great price. Great visibility, I’m looking forward to using it for my target practice this summer. Will definitely be getting more of these while we still can.
