Thank you for this video! This is by far the best explanation for the triple stack on KZbin.

[@brentbandy3566]

I just bought this exact sight and got it sighted in today. This video made it extremely easy. Thanks for being so thorough 🙌🏼

[@SandSArchery]

Thanks for watching!

[@hurricanepete3615]

Well this is the third vid i watched on the fast eddie triple stack. This vid made complete sense. Others completely left out the 2n and 3rd axis.....And the part on the second and third pin adjustment. I ordered this sight a day or so ago from S&S and now i am very glad i did use you guys.. Thanks good shooting and good hunting...Hurricane Pete

[@donaldburgess1003]

You guys rock!! Thank you for this video! Will be checking your store out for sure!

[@jonvillagomez4433]

Great explanation on this sight compared to all the other videos out on KZbin

[@ronaldryver8493]

This Is the best video I’ve seen so far. I’ve seen so many videos sighting 20yards with the bottom pin. Which is clearly wrong. Those guys are gonna shoot their foot at sixty yards.

[@Raevenswood]

LOL anyone with common sense should be able to see that the lower pin is for longer range shots lmao

[@brandenperry2646]

Thank you. The best explanation on how to do this.

[@Tattooedharvester1983]

Like how you explained this thanks much appreciated my friend!

[@M.Scholer]

Great video, super informative and made the sighting in real easy👍🏻

[@brandywilson8626]

For the micro adjustment right and left which way do you spin that small dial?

[@JS-lx8iz]

Thanks.

[@urbanarcher3535]

How about the Hogg Father with that side micro adjustment on the big dial?

[@janlong3087]

So am i waiting my time sighting in all 3 pins before working on the calibration tape?

[@carlparisi9749]

What if I’m all the way at the bottom and can’t install the zero stop?

[@adamsmith6542]

Once you get your 30 and 40 set, do you use those pins if you want to dial to say 36 yds or do you use your top pin and dial the first purple pointer to whatever you want. So I guess I am saying anything short of 50, you dial and use the pin that corresponds with the yardage within that pin and anything over 50 you dial and use your top purple pointer and top pin? Is that correct?

[@23shoge]

You would use your set pin. Whichever pin you used to set the sight is the one you use to dial. So if your sight is based off of the 20 pin and the target is 36, dial the 20 pin to 36. Personally, I use my 40 pin as the "floater," so I get a little more range out of the sight. You can get the new multipin indicator though, which has a purple pointer for each pin. I think that's only available on the triple stack though.

[@willward6953]

Is there a way to adjust the sight to get a particular sight tape number. ex. I noticed tapes 1 through 12 would be a lot easier to set 20 30 40 and as you go up in yardage the pins would be equal like 50 60 70. The tape I have now makes the 20 and 30 so close that if I got to 40 the second indicator is at like 46. Any advise? Thanks for the help

[@SandSArchery]

I don't think theres anything you can do with the sight. The tapes are ballistics only and they're going to be based off of your arrow speed. You might be able to start your top pin at 30 then 40 and 50 to spread out the pointers.

[@joegarrigues3697]

This was phenomenal. I wish I had purchased my sight from you guys just as a thank you. I'll be bringing some business your way for sure. Great vid!

[@SandSArchery]

thanks for the support!

[@winmyint4642]

One question I bow 20 yard and 60 yard is good 30 and 40 50 Not right what can I do Scale i used or Now saw you you cut off the top scale Can you explain please

[@paulbell7043]

So I’ve just started to sight my fast Eddie triple stack in and I have the new style scope bracket maxed out to the right and all my right micro used and I’m still hitting right what can I do ?

[@SandSArchery]

I would first look at your bow and make sure that it is tuned. Most left right issues start there. It could also be a result of your rest being out just a little bit.

[@TomsonTheOne]

I've got a Spot Hogg Fast Eddie (bought in early 2021), but I don't have that 6 pin side adjustment (4:05). Can I upgrade that?

[@SandSArchery]

Yes you sure can here is the link. sandsarchery.com/collections/spot-hogg-sights/products/spot-hogg-3rd-axis-adapter

[@user-ck5cq9gl3o]

I followed all these steps up until I have to sight in at 60. Once I got to this step I ran out of down adjustment. I was about a foot low and my housing couldn’t go down anymore otherwise my fletchings would hit the housing. I have the fast Eddie triple stack and a Mathews v3

[@jackwatkins7739]

What is your draw weight and arrow weight?

[@brandoncarmack5416]

If I was to only use this sight out to 40 yards max for now, would you still sight it in at 20/60 or can you do 20/40?

[@SandSArchery]

if you were only going to use the sight for 40 yards, I would just sight in the pins to those yardages. The sight tape is the drop of the arrow. best results would be shooting 20-60 for the most accurate ballistics

[@seanminton-yp7ih]

When you get your bow sighted in. Which pin do you use once you’re past 40 yards? Say your at 60 yards. Can use use any pin of the 3 pins as long as the indicator is on that yardage mark?

[@SandSArchery]

Once everything is setup, You have 3 indicators and that correspond to 3 pins. When you dial out what ever indicator is on 60 that is the pin you shoot. Ex. middle indicator would be the middle pin.

[@seanminton-yp7ih]

Sounds good. Thank you!

[@brockbunyan6727]

My left and right adjustment only clicks twice either way I have to put a Allen wrench in to get more then 2 turns , any ideas ? Is it broken ?

[@SandSArchery]

That sounds like something may bring wrong with the micro adjust knob. I would reach out to Spot Hogg and see if they have any insight, we haven't seen that before.

[@tysonledbetter1548]

I have the fast Eddie xl double pin and I set my 20 and started making my way back but I feel like when I get back to 60 or further I’m going to have arrow clearance issues with my sight is there something I’m doing wrong

[@SandSArchery]

Hey Tyson, give me a call to discuss. 208-495-4222.

[@aguilar4567]

This is a great question. I shoot the triple stack and max out at 82 yards with my bottom pin before I start having clearance issues. I also have a double pin that I haven’t used in a while. Would I get more clearance and distance with the double pin considering the housing is smaller but the pins are not adjustable??

[@straightshootinoutdoors]

@aguilar4567 A lot of things can affect that, arrow weight, draw weight, rest height , peep height

[@user-ck5cq9gl3o]

@@SandSArcheryI just commented on this video with the same issue. Can I call you? What time works for you? Im EST.

[@weaver8122]

Could you tell me what brand target you use. I like the large size.

[@SandSArchery]

we like the 365 Archery HP Target systems

[@jxhkb]

My 20 was set way above the zero stop. Should I bring it back down and set it close to the zero stop? Or Is it not necessary?

[@SandSArchery]

It's only necessary if you end up running out of distance for the longer shots. Primarily the lower you can start the sight and be on a 20 the more overall range you will have.

[@jxhkb]

@@SandSArchery thanks for the advice. Out of curiosity, did you set your 20 with the bottom pin or top?

[@straightshootinoutdoors]

What's the maximum distance you were able to get out of the sight ?

[@wensel8499]

It depends on how heavy your arrow is. My current setup is 476 gr (heavy) and I can get about 90 yds using my bottom pin as a floater. Any lower and my fletching would contact the bottom of the housing.

[@straightshootinoutdoors]

@@wensel8499 thank you

[@MandRroofing]

how would a person sight in there lower pin for there slider pin? and not there top?

[@SandSArchery]

If you follow step by step, all three pins are considered slider pins. Because there is a pointer needle for each pin you can shoot any pin at any set position once the process is done.

[@robertfazekas4607]

What size are the fiber pins in the housing?

[@SandSArchery]

These are the .19

[@IMKINDOFABIGDEAL13]

I don’t understand these sights at all. What is the advantage to a regular 5 pin sight. Now a Person only has 3 pins and it has to be adjusted to the yardage with a dial? I’m so confused

[@SandSArchery]

Typically an archer will select this sight because a 5 pin can be too much clutter. Also the up pins tend to clear up the sight picture vs horizontal pins.

[@23shoge]

To add to the other comment, the dominant reason is reduce clutter and clear up the sight picture, but there's also the ability to take longer shots on large animals (5 pin sights, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 yards, but the elk is at 70, or worse yet 68 - these sights let you dial right to 68 without the need for Kentucky windage). They also transition to target archery really well. Huge advantage to have a dial when shooting something like a 3D target at 93 yards in TAC style target shooting.

[@IMKINDOFABIGDEAL13]

@@23shoge there is definitely some substance to that. I am really considering getting one. Thanks

[@jonathan_guerrero]

Say I follow exactly what you did and I need to make a shot at 80 yards, where the hell do I place the slider 80 yard mark? Lol

[@straightshootinoutdoors]

Which ever pointer you have on 80 yards is the pin you would use, that's why there are 3 indicators

[@jonathan_guerrero]

@@straightshootinoutdoors thank you! I guess I should have worded my question better. I would use the top pointer at the 80 yard mark correct?

[@straightshootinoutdoors]

@Jonathan Guerrero thsts the beauty of it you can use any of the 3 pointers on 80 and it should match up, if you want to use the top pin use the top indicator on 80 , middle pin middle indicator on 80 and bottom pin bottom indicator on 80 , its pretty much what ever your comfortable with as long as you have the correct indicator and pin corresponding , hope that helps

Question. When micro adjusting, do you turn the knob to the right of the sight needs to go to the right?

[@SandSArchery]

You follow the arrow. So if shooting Right moving housing to the Right.

@@SandSArchery what about the micro left right wind adjustment? If I spin it to the right, does that move it to the right or to the left? There’s no videos to tell you this
