PROS: Extremely micro-adjustable, threaded for a scope if you want to use this sight for 3D, bulletproof construction.CONS: Very heavy sight, sight must be sent back to factory if you want a pin removed from the housing, doesn't include rheostat light, not available in camo.
I recently was in the market for a new sight for my DXT and after searching high and low I found a high end ($200) sight that was exactly what I was looking for. First off, this sight is completely CNC machined and assembled in the U.S.A. which kicks it up a notch in my book.
The Axcel Armortech-HD provides 100% protection to the fiber optics which are protected within the sight pin and enclosed behind a translucent plastic housing. The site features tool less windage and elevation knobs with ample markings so you know exactly how far you are adjusting your sight. In addition, the windage and elevation knobs are marked from 1 through 9 so you can adjust each by a certain number of clicks just like a rifle scope.
Another unique feature of this sight is the True Center Vision which provides a circular picture even if the shooter is slightly off center. This is created by the unique hourglass shape of the sight pin housing. The sight pins themselves are extremely easy to adjust. Simply loosen the pin you want to move and use the rotating knob on the bottom of the sight housing to individually adjust each pin up or down. When you're finished tighten the pin screw down and you're ready to go.
The sight typically comes with 4 or 5 pins, but you can order the sight with a variety of pin options. Pins are also avalable in .10, .19 and .29. I went with the .19 but these are slightly smaller than your usual pins because the tips are not flattened like they are on most sights.
There are three sets of bow mounting holes on this sight and quiver mounts as well. The HD version also includes a Harmonic Dampener to help reduce vibration. Additionally, the sight features 3rd axis adjustment and can easily be switched from right to left hand.
The main downside to this sight is its weight. It is extremely heavy for a bow sight, but if you like a heavy bow which helps you hold the pins a bit steadier it won't be an issue. With a $200 price tag, this is not a cheap sight and I would have liked to see a rheostat light included with this sight. I purchased a Cobra rheostat light kit for my sight. The sight accepts 3/8", 32 thread sights.
Overall I would highly recommend this sight to bowhunters who want the latest and greatest in micro-adjustability. This should be the last bow sight you ever need to buy.
