Bow sight recommendations/guidance?

HHA Tetra Ryz vertical 2 pin with .19 pins. Absolutely love that sight and made a huge difference in my accuracy.

Point of note: I’m 55 years old…my eyes were really struggling with a 3-pin horizontal sight. I simply needed more separation between pins and the vertical pins were kind of like shooting a German #1 Post Reticle. More or less, Just line it up with the front leg and let fly.

I really like that one, but they replaced it with a new model and I haven't been able to look at one yet. I'm sure that it will be fine though.

HHA. I wouldn’t use a Spott Hogg sight if it were free.

I'm relatively new to archery, I bought my first bow in '22 and shoot mostly targets at home, but I have hunted javelina twice in AZ. I had a great time, no harvest but I got super close the first year, just ran out of time. I jumped into archery pretty seriously, got a Revolt X and a Garmin sight. I'd been using inexpensive arrows to learn, now I'm getting new arrows and making some changes to the set up, and I wanted to revisit the sight.

I know the Garmin isn't popular with purists, I mostly got it because I liked how it was uncluttered through the window and made ranging simple. I also set up a bow for my wife with a multi pin sight, and I found the pins to be distracting, but probably less distracting than I'd made them out to be in my head. I'm not going to be a long range archery hunter, and I'm not sure how much I'd like the sliders, every one I've played with in a store has seemed really mechanically complicated and stiff to adjust.

I already own the Garmin, so it has that advantage, but I'd like to go to a more basic sight I think. Any recommendations or guidance for people with more experience? Elk and deer are definitely a possibility in the future, I don't think I'd ever be shooting past 40 yards or maybe 50. I have a handheld rangefinder so I don't need that capability in a sight.

I recently bought the Trophy Ridge Swift Duo sight, and I’m really impressed with it. It offers all the features you'd find in other high-end sights, but at about half the price. There's also a conversion kit available, which makes it adaptable to other sight systems depending on your setup. On top of that, it feels solid and well-built.

I use spot Hogg 5 pin fixed, not my favorite sight I’ve used, I’ve been bow hunting seriously since ’99, the reason I still don’t shoot a slider is because I still do 3-D archery tournaments a few times a year.. “a lot more when I was younger” and I compete under Bowhunter free style and in that division you can’t have movable sights and a stabilizer longer than 12 inches,
My pins as both a hunter and competitive shooter were set at 30-70 most of my life shooting 70lbs at 30” draw, but now that I’m older I stretch it out and make my first pin 40-80 during hunting season, something to remember before anybody bites my head off about shooting longer ranges while hunting.. Pins are only reference points, it’s important to set up your sights the way that you’re comfortable, and would benefit you with your shooting style and ability, not someone else’s. I’ve literally won an indoor event marked at 20 yrds when my top pin was sighted at 30, know your equipment, practice and trust yourself
