Many archers use this sight and see no reason to change. It is capable of shooting out to yards depending on your setup. The sight tape on the Optimizer Lite is marked in 5 yard increments. This sight is a great option for hunting on relatively flat ground in the Eastern parts of the US.
There are also better options for serious 3D shooters. However, you can buy an additional 2nd and 3rd axis bracket for the sight. This will help with accuracy at elevation and longer ranges. It features a gear driven adjustment wheel and yard-to-yard precision. The yardage wheel on the sight is very smooth turning and easy to grip. It also has an easy to use locking knob. This design has a leg up on the competition.
Not all dial adjustment sights are as easy to grip or smooth to turn. The sight tape on the Optimizer Ultra is marked by the yard, which makes it more precise than the Optimizer Lite. The Ultra is capable of shooting out to 80 yards depending on your arrow speed.
Like the Optimizer Lite, the Optimizer Ultra is great for eastern style hunting on flat ground. It is precise enough for some 3D shooting as well. You can also buy a bracket from HHA to add these features to the sight. It has a wheel forward design, which is much more user friendly than the rear wheel adjustment on the Optimizer Ultra. However, there is only one sight wheel included with this sight, unlike the King Pin which includes 2.
Another benefit is that 2nd and 3rd axis adjustments are built into this sight similar to the King Pin. One difference between the Tetra and other HHA sights is that it has two stage micro adjust windage. It also has an infinite adjustment for the housing elevation, compared to the slotted design on other HHA sights. In addition to this, it features a redesigned water resistant sight tape kit. These sight tapes are also marked in 1 yard increments.
The Optimizer Tetra is a sight that will work great for any application you have in mind. The built-in 2nd and 3rd axis adjustments make it a good fit for the high elevations of western hunting. It is also accurate enough to be used for 3D tournaments. The standard version of the King Pin comes with a solid hunter mount. There is also a tournament edition with an adjustable inch dovetail mount, perfect for serious competition shooters.
The sight has both 2nd and 3rd axis adjustments as well. It features a wheel forward design which makes it easy to use with hunting quivers. There are two wheels included with the sight that you can use interchangeably. This is a great feature for anyone who uses multiple arrow setups, or wants to use the sight on multiple bows without having to peel off and replace the sight tapes. On top of all that, the King Pin wheel has the smoothest rotation of any single pin sight that we have tested.
The King Pin sight tape kit has the capability to shoot out to yards and maybe a bit more depending on your arrow speed. This sight tape is marked in one yard increments. You also have two options for yardage indicators.
The King Pin comes with a standard brass pointer or a magnifier that allows for adjustments finer than one yard. It also has an adjustable stop that allows for no-look adjustment to your 20 yard mark. This is a great sight that can be used for both hunting and competition shooting. The only drawback to the King Pin is that it is a pretty heavy sight. Take a logical approach when deciding which HHA sight to purchase.
High end sights like the Optimizer Tetra or King Pin are attractive options. However, they might be overkill depending on your application. With the tape, you can shoot from yards at increments of 5 yards. This will focus mainly on the HHA archery sights reviews. The optimizer lite comes with three-pin sizes. The smaller pin is for those with good eyesight and the others for those with poorer eyesight. This comes in handy when there is a lot of light.
Instead of walking around with tape to lessen the brightness you can use the rheostat. This blocks the light from hitting some fibers, it slides over the fibers to control the brightness. It depends on the amount of light you want to let through. The optimizer lite comes in almost 30 different models. HHA says on their "Features" page that the pin guard is indestructible , but We're sure it's very very tough, but as we haven't tried to destroy it, we hesitate to say that it's "indestructible.
This is the feature that separates the "good bow sights" from the "very good bow sights": micro adjustability. The bow sight itself allows for fine tuning, with some really nice features:. When you find a target and determine how far away it is, all you need to do is give it a quick half-turn or so to loosen it, adjust the pin to your desired distance, and then give it a quick half-turn to tighten it again, and you should be good to go; and finally.
If you're in a hunting situation, that's obviously of the utmost importance. If you're on the range or practicing on your property, a piece of archery equipment that requires tools isn't really a big deal. You can turn to a friend, or head to the shed, and get what you need. When an archery part doesn't require tools to set, that can be a great thing. And, listen—that "no hands adjustability" does NOT mean the Optimizer doesn't require some fine tuning.
It absolutely does, and we'll talk about that in a moment, because not everybody loves that aspect of the bow sight. But if you need to do some quick fine-tuning on the go, it can be a great feature. Here's the range of features at the time of this post :. Number of Pins: No options here!
HHA only makes the Optimizer with a single pin, and that makes sense, because If you added pins, it would no longer be a single-pin bow sight. If you're interested in a multiple-pin bow sight, we usually recommend the CBE Tek Hybrid , and you can read our review of that bow sight here ;. Pin Size: This is the real differentiator when it comes to versions of the Optimizer. HHA makes the pins in thicknesses of 0. Pin thickness is a matter of taste—a thin pin will allow you see your target more clearly, but it will transmit less light to the pin, making it less ideal for low-light situations, whereas a thicker pin will transit more light to the pin—making it great for low-light situations—but it will conceal more of your target.
It's a give-and-take that you'll need to figure out for yourself;. Mechanical Rheostat. HHA makes the Optimizer with or without this feature; and, finally.
