I lucked up and got one from Bowhunters Superstore on eBay for $261.99. Joker runs for $349.99 from Lancaster Archery. I got it mounted on my bow when I got in from work a little while ago. That is one well built and thought out sight. It has the easiest 2nd and 3rd axis adjustments I've ever seen on a sight, better than all of the expensive Sure Loc and CBE sights I've used on my tournament rigs in the past. What I really like about it is the location of the yardage wheel. I hunt with my with my quiver on now and with the location of the yardage wheel, it will not interfere with my quiver anymore. I can mount my quiver as close to the riser as I want now. It also has a magnifier on the yardage wheel. This is real nice if you've got older eyes and have to use reading glasses.
I'll start the process of sighting it in and verifying my 2nd and 3rd axis later today. HHA hit a home run with this one. The only negative is the price. High end sights are getting ridiculous nowadays.

Very nice. Can't wait to see it up close. I don't shoot with my quiver on, so the Ultra may serve me well. Did you get the regular size or the 2" XL?

I use the 1 5/8" housing, Brad.
G/H, the 2nd axis controls the cant (levels it left to right). The 3rd axis levels the sight housing to the bow (in and out). The 2nd axis doesn't have to be set square with the bow. If you shoot with a cant, it can be set so the bubble is level while at full draw. I always use a long level across both limb pockets to level mine. I don't shoot with a cant. If the sight isn't square with the bow in the 3rd axis, it will cause left or right impacts when taking up or down elevation shots. There's several different methods of setting the 3rd axis. I level the bow up in my press and put a level across the back of my riser and level the sight to it. It's always work for me like this.

They offer a light for it, but it does not come with the sight. It's the same optional light that mounts on top of the sight housing to illuminate the pin. For the yardage dial it mounts right beside the yardage tape magnifier.
