Well they really weren't joking when they said "for those who want the ultimate in a bow-sight, G5 offers the Optix ME." After I put this sight on my bow, my jaw dropped to the floor and I began drooling. This is the best sight...EVER! This sight has it all. It is made out of magnesium alloy, which is the lightest of all structural metals (32% lighter than aluminum to be exact) and is just as strong. The sight weighs in at just 6 ounces! In addition, magnesium also has better vibration dampening properties than your typical aluminum bow-sight, but this isn't your typical bow-sight. And just incase that's not enough for you they even put a harmonic dampener on the Optix ME. G5's sight also offers micro-adjustments for windage, elevation, and features G5's patented Smart Pins. G5's Smart Pins allow you to micro adjust each .019" pin (you loosen a set screw and then can adjust another screw to raise or lower each individual pin) without ever deviating from the centerline of the sight. Even the sight's level is adjustable so you can make sure that when the bubble is in the middle of the two lines you really are level. The no rust components make the G5 Optix ME one you can take off the beaten path. The sight is finished in Real Tree camo and is extremely easy to set up. And for those low light conditions, simply turn on the ME's LED light and watch the pins glow. The instructions also include several pictures of the sight window depicting how far apart the pins should be for bows shooting arrows at varying feet per second. Talk about easy tuning!

Now you may be looking at this sight and saying, well why does it have 4 pins? Shouldn't it have either 3 or 5? Well if this was your normal sight, then yes it would have 3 or 5, but get ready for another surprise - a floating pin. What is a floating pin? It's one of the best ideas I have seen on an archery sight. This pin is meant to be set at 50 yards and can then be adjusted in the field to shoot out to 80 yards by simply turning a knob on the side of the sight. Find which sticker in the package has your correct fps on it and stick it on the inside of the aperture. Now you can adjust the pin with the knob and line it up with the markers on the inside of your aperture so you know if your floating pin is set at 65 yards or 80 yards. But how do you know you're on the 60 yard line and not the 70 yard line? Well the knob "clicks" when it reaches the next 10 yard increment on the sticker making this a foolproof design. Now, I'm not suggesting you shoot out that far unless you know you are capable. I know archers who can put five arrows through a soda can at 80 yards, but I can't do that so you won't find me shooting past 40 yards. The floating pin is a very nice feature for those hunting out west where longer shots in open terrain may present themselves. Again, only take shots at distances you have practiced and are positive you can make.

After shooting with this sight, I will never use another sight by any other company. This is simply the best sight you can buy for your bow. I highly recommend this to all serious archers, trust me, you won't be disappointed in the G5 Optix ME.
