DUMPING my Spot Hogg..

Sweet video Dan, love the tinkering always nice getting everything fixed up, and nice that u can run the black gold now damn nice sight

[@jayonez137]

I love my Hogg Father on my V3-31. However I am running my HHA Tetra with UV3 XL 2 pin scope that is running thru my Bridgelock with short HHA dovetail with Infinite adjust bracket on my V3X 29. I am loving this set up. Zero windage issues. This will be my TAC set up this year. Possibly for hunting too.

[@mikenieto99]

Are you still thinking about using this setup for hunting? I am wondering about the same thing for hunting...what's holding you up? It seems like most people are nervous about using the UV for hunting but love the sight

I have an older MBG and was looking at the Spot Hogg. After this I think I will just up grade on my MBG. I have been a single pin for a long time but this two pin is killer. Had not intended to change sights this close to my Elk hunt but Im reconsidering. NICE job.

i just switched to HHA from spot hogg. using the UV3XL 2 pin for the sight. I really liked my spot hogg, but ive emailed them 3x with no response. decided it was time to try something new! ive had the black gold on order for 3 months and got tired of waiting lol.

[@Allegiance_Outdoors]

I made the same move...only difference was I have a Landslyde on order for about 4 months that was going to be for the UV3XL. Love the HHA Tetra Tournament...only wish the 1st axis was adjustable (especially for the price)!!

[@hamster2763]

I had many issues with the clamp on my hamskea. Constantly coming lose and on three occasions had the cord completely slip. I tied a Blake’s hitch and it’s been flawless. Field adjustable, east to tie and one less piece of hardware.

[@blaydenzahner9379]

My cord keeps coming loose aswell. I think it's the rubber o ring. I wrapped a small Pease of site tape around my cord so it couldn't loose anymore.

[@hamster2763]

@@blaydenzahner9379 good deal. I’d definitely recommend trying a Blake’s hitch if you keep having problems. I would get play in my launcher arm after about 30 arrows. I’m at 200 with the Blake’s hitch with no movement at all.

[@chriswalther1599]

I watched a video where MFJJ just yarded the crap out of the string. I did the same and really gave it a working over so to speak of. It’s been tight and hasn’t moved a wink for about 300 shots.

[@Gaffneydaniel92]

I definitely love the rings on the Spot Hoggs way more than BG, but the weight is insane. Not much of a two pin guy but I definitely see it’s perks and wouldn’t mind playing with one. Maybe on the back up bow and see if it makes the cut

[@jesselost05420]

I am just afraid to jack up my bow being so new to everything and still learning archery in general. I need to get a budget bow that I can tinker on and figure things out before messing with the VXR. Plus I am 3hrs from a pro shop so learning is kind of a must. Great content thanks bud.

[@HuntsT]

Just some advice from a successful bowhunter. Get a quality sight, rest, arrows (.003 or better). Stick with that setup for a few years. I know it may be trendy to "ABT" but this can also lead to never getting comfortable in your skills because you always just throw something new on the bow and maybe that is changing the way you shoot or maybe you are just changing the way you shoot. Once you start to feel really good about your form and archery habits and hunting tactics, then I would suggest to start potentially upgrading things that actually matter to you. Just take my advice for what it is...2 cents. Good luck.

[@jesselost05420]

@@HuntsT Thanks for the advice. I have the good equipment it is just gaining the knowledge to be able to comfortably mess with things like tying in my own peep sight or d loop. I can't imagine trying to even swap strings out at this point haha. I did not realize how involved bowhunting was when I picked it up 2 yrs ago. I am killing bears already with my bow tho so I am doing something half right lol.

[@HuntsT]

@@jesselost05420 no doubt man. That’s what makes archery fun. It is intricate. If you are mechanically inclined you can definitely learn a lot on KZbin. Since you are so far from a bow shop if you have the money, you may want to look at investing in a press like portable Last Chance Archery Press. If you have quality strings and you take care of them, once you get the bow tuned and timed correctly it shouldn’t move for at least a 1-2 thousand shots. Tying on a D-Loop is pretty easy, there are a few different methods to do it. I tend to like the way Eli Morgan does his. Serving in a peep is also not complicated, but again, this only needs to be done when changing strings. The biggest thing is practice and continue to push yourself out of your comfort zone. I hate losing arrows, but I know if I practice at a far distance or a hard shot, there is a possibility of that happening. That adds pressure much like taking an animal. I have to be ok with the outcome (whatever it is) once I release that arrow. Do that enough times and you will start to build confidence…that’s all you need.

[@pennyontrack]

@@jesselost05420 you are smart to not get to into ABT too quick. Couple words of advice. 1. Be very careful checking your draw weight on a scale as it’s easy to derail your string and you won’t care what weight it pulled when that string comes flying off. 2. Do not back your limb bolts out very far and risk having the bolt come flying out and your string, limbs, and cables end up in a big pile on your bench while you say to yourself ……. I wish I never touched this thing. Both from personal experience on a brand new bow that was fine and didnt need to be “tinkered” with

[@timbow50]

Awesome two pin sight IMO. For me I would have top pin at 30 yards and try to adjust bottom pin to 40 depending on arrow speed? Or maybe 35 & 45 yards. Mountain country can fool you easy on distances judging as everything is usually up or down.

By only turning 1 end of your string to get your peep lined up wouldnt that mean your either takiing out or putting in a twist ? Hence shortenimg or lengthimg yout string ? Dont you wamt to do both 1 end one way the other end the oposit to keep your strimg lenth in specs

[@chrisochoa1222]

Do you measure the amount of d-loop material you use to make a loop? I always recommend that to keep the feel of the DL the same 32nd can make the bow feel long or short. In regards to the BG do you have to use that allen wrench to unlock the vertical and horizontal travels? I like the scope better than everything out! Black Gold needs a rail system for the slider and non allen micro lock/unlock and I would love one. Every other top manufacture has a rail system now. Just much more robust. That allen issue we send more MBG back for stripped bolts than all other manufactures combined and my issue with them. The Dual Track scope legit!

Hey buddy, I freaking love your content! Great information, entertaining, and easy to digest!! Here, I think you may have tied your d loop in backwards.

Make sure after you set your pins and tighten allen screws on your adjustments you run the knobs all the way till tight. The little pin knobs will rattle if you don't tighten them after adjustment. I currently have a rattle on mine because I have a tiny bit of slop on the up and down gear connection. I'll have to send it in to have that fixed. I have the 3 pin bg ascent verdict.

Thank you. I was worried I might have wasted $400 haha. Good to no it will work. Thanks again.

[@KA-lm6sp]

As someone who hunts out of ground blinds, I'm not sure I like the way Black Gold does the sight light. Am I correct in thinking that whole photochromatic shell on top lights up emitting a bright glow on every side? Concerened deer or elk would see that sitting in a dark ground blind. Also concerened that would throw off you own eyesight with a bright light up close, constricting your pupils and not letting in enough light in those final minutes of legal light. What has your experience been?

[@cwilson80]

The photochromnatic shell will turn dark purple in bright sunlight witch prevents the halo/blurring that can sometimes happen in bright sunlight. It does not emit a bright glow or light at all. I have been using Black Gold sights for years. I have tried many different sights and the Black Gold pins are the brightest and sharpest pins I have ever seen on a sight.

[@KA-lm6sp]

@@cwilson80 Yep I understand all of that and how it functions in bright sunlight, but that is not what I am asking. I'm asking how it functions when you turn on a sight light sitting in a dark ground blind. Especially when it's also low light outside. Seems like the sight light is going to light up that shell and animals will be able to see it shining perhaps?

[@cwilson80]

@@KA-lm6sp Got it…sorry for the misunderstanding. I have never tried a sight light with my Black Gold. Only thing I can say is one early morning sitting on a ridge at sunrise I could see my pins clearly in very low light while my two buddies (one had a Spot Hogg and the other had a Trophy Ridge) could not see there pins very well until the sun came up a little more. I know this probably doesn’t help answer your question but just my 2 cents. Good luck and good hunting!

[@crazyasian1975]

Great video and ABT! quick question/request, could you do a video about 3rd axis adjustment at full draw and with a jig? Was debating with a friend who says full draw isn't necessary. thanks again for all your info and hard work.

[@blaydenzahner9379]

I bleave they already have a video out for 3rd axis.

[@brpnw4r94]

John, IMO, using a vise is a good starting point THEN at full draw with a buddy. Your form will derail what your vise dialed it in as...it may not. Always set third axis with whatever accessories you have and / or plan on shooting with attached to your bow. Especially a loaded quiver, less one arrow. Just my thoughts. Cheers.

[@crazyasian1975]

Thanks. I did the vise and then full draw to check my 3rd axis but wanted to make sure since my sight is slightly titled right.

[@brpnw4r94]

@John Pham .. No problem, not gonna get into too much here because it's tough to explain in words...but when you say tilted right...you mean bubble is right side of level at full draw? Or in the vise? Keep in mind that 1st/2nd should be dialed in first (using a vise and proper levels) and NOT adjusted again unless the bow is dropped or to much tinkering. Lol. Sounds like you're on the right track. Cheers
