I just got a new bow and I am looking for a sight for it. I am between the Trophy Ridge React 5pin and the G5 Optix XR which is the multi pin with a floater. I am looking to purchase from Cabelas because I have the Cabela's points to use on it. Both of these sights get great reviews with the Trophy Ridge seeming to be a touch better. Any of you fellows have either of these sights? Pros and Cons? Which do you recommend?

I have the G5. It seems to be a good sight. It doesn't seem to be overly bright, but mine has .019 pin size. My last sight had .029, so it's alot brighter. If you get the G5, read the instructions before adjusting the pins. It's not a deal breaker, though.

are you dead-set on one of those 2? I recently changed from a 5-pin to a single pin slider and love it. now, I don't attempt to change the slider "in the field" like it's actually intended. I just keep it set on my 30yd setting (b/c 90% of my shot opportunities will be 30 or less). then depending on the range of the shot I'm taking I just hold a little over or under.

It has worked well for me and I love having only 1 tiny pin instead of 5 pins cluttering my sight picture

I have had the G5 for 4 years or so and like I like it. It gives the fixed pins for 90% of your shots but also gives you the floater pin to make a little longer shots if you want to stretch it out.

I am pretty much set on one of those. If I was to get the G5 sight I would potentially remove a pin or two if that possible after I have shot it some. I want something rather simple I guess is what I am saying.

Get an hha optimizer single pin sight. I've been through a pile of sights and this is the best hands down.

I'm a Spott Hogg guy, but G5 makes quality gear IME.

I didn't want a single pin sight because I have had one for years and wanted a change. I ordered the Trophy Ridge React 5pin. I will let yall know how it is when I get it. Thanks for the response though.
