T.R.U. Ball Armortech Sight, 5 Pin, .019

This is by far the best sight I have ever used. The adjustability and build quality do not get any better. The microadjust on the individual pins is a great feature and makes sighting in your pins super easy. All of the fibers are completely protected making it very rugged if you are in the brush. The thing is expensive and heavy, but I think that speaks to the build quality of it. The only problem I have is if it is mounted in the last set of holes (forward most position) on my Z7 Xtreme with a 3 arrow quiver mounted in the quiver holes, the lid on my SKB case will not shut with the quiver attached. I am just going to make an offset quiver bracket to solve this. This sight is great and Gander Mtn had the best price I could find.

Nice sight. Super easy to sight in and adjust. As far as the guy that said pins are not bright in low light, I can see the pins far after it is too dark to hunt so its plenty bright for me. Also best price here at Gander Mountain I could find and believe me I searched a long time.

Excellent Quality. I love the individual pin micro adjust and it's built like a tank! The Pins are super bright and the 3rd axis is a huge bonus. The only downside and I mean ONLY downside is the sight is a tad on the heavy side but not enough to make me even look at another sight.

You won't regret this AMERICAN MADE beauty!

Best sight I've owned to date. Durable, easy to adjust, bright pins, best of the best for hunting. The only thing bad I can think of is it's price. But then again you get what you pay for.

This is everything you would want in a sight. I've had blackgold sights, spothoggs, tru-glue, etc, and nothing is as good as this one.

The pins are fully incased in aluminum, so they can't pull out the back going through brush. The pins are also bright, and the location for a light will not allow light to shine on anything except for the pin ends.

The sight is built like a tank. Rock solid. Nothing rattles on it, and the built in harmonics might even make your bow quieter.

The micro adjust is super easy to sight in. Loosen, twist, and tighten. Thats it. The pins can also be micro adjusted up and down with a nob for fine tuning.

It has 3rd axis adjustment.

Lifetime warranty...

It doesn't get any better than this.

Tired of this situation? "Need to ajdust a pin. Loosen the set screw. Slide the pin with your fumbly fingers. How far? ...maybe this much. Okay, try to hold it there while I reach for my allen wrench. Begin to tighten set screw. It begins to move as torque is applied. Well now, that's not where I wanted it. Loosen set screw. Slide pin..."

I recently transitioned from a lifetime of rifle hunting and into bowhunting, but I quickly grew tired of dealing with run-of-the-mill bow sights. Positioning pins with your fingers is archaeic. I wanted something with precision dial adjustments that resembled the sights of the firearm industry. Now, I understand that archery isn't always a precision affair. I also understand that the bow industry is much smaller than it's firearm counterpart, and as such is more reserved about pouring money into R&D; it would seem that there is a slight chance of producing a precision product at an attractive price.

But T.R.U. Ball has done just that with their Armortech series of sights. I love having fine, discreet control over windage and elevation. It makes sighting in SO easy. Everything else about this sight is top notch. It's expensive - for a bow sight - but it WILL be the last sight you ever buy. It's heavy, but the upside to that is it acts like a stabilizer and improves accuracy.

The only bad thing I could say about this sight is that they use machine screws to drive the adjustments, instead of an actual lead screw. Machine screws are produced with a degree of tolerance, so when you turn the knobs, every click may not actually move the sight. Just keep your adjustments moving in one direction and you will have predictable results in your groups. This is a real nitpick though.
