Can you do a long term review? I really want to buy one. But im not sure if the could get out to 100 yards with a average bow setup shooting about 290 fps? Just wandering cause i read it only had 2inches of vertical adjustment
The plastic or Teflon glider as it was referred to in this video wore down from use after about a year and my sight now has a buzz sound. Tried emailing b3 but only got a call us generic response. Called once but has not returned my call and figure it’s going to be a pain explaining my situation over phone anyway (easy with email and pics). Looking for another sight and stumbled on this vid
@@MrRay645 I ended up buy this sight about 11 months ago. That glider cracked first time out after about a dozen shots, and mine started to buzz after every shot as well. I contacted them through Facebook. Got a response pretty quick, they said mail back to them for repairs. From the day I shipped it to getting it back took about 2 weeks.
I mean... yeah when you’re not hunting the target features are great and can be used. But when the moment of truth comes in a hunting situation that is always 100% unpredictable a fixed pin is what you want. Not a slider that you gotta let down your draw, adjust, then draw and aim again and hopefully take a rushed shot that lands where it needs to. Even when you’re taking your time, the animal is still gonna be making some type of movement guaranteed. No matter how fast the bow is, when it goes off and the arrow is released the deer always react to the snap of the string or the wizzing sound of the arrow coming at them. They don’t know exactly what’s happening but they know something is up. And they always jump. Ok so a slider, single pin is no good. A dual purpose fixed pin, that folds away to a single, and does both.... ok now we can talk. But again the single pin slide function is a target feature and shd be marketed as a target feature. Not a hunting feature and it’s certainly not an advantage by any means at all
I have the earlier version of this sight bar, and I've found the third axis adjustment (at least how they implemented it on this sight) is pretty useless. Once you snug those two screws down, the adjustment done on the set screw ends up doing nothing.
I bought the exact target model 2 months ago and its useless for me as well. The 3rd axis only adjusts one way and its the wrong way for me. Very disappointed!
If you use the B3 scope housing you adjust the 3rd axis using the screws in the bottom of the level. The 3rd axis shown in the video is pretty useless and I don't think it's actually designed to be the 3rd axis adjustment because B3s videos do not mention it
I wanted to comment at B3 but they got the comments off on all the videos. Prolly cuz they’re doing what lots of ppl do. They’re promoting bullshit. A new hunting sight with target features and they’re trying to convince everyone these features are benefits in hunting and they’re not. A single pin slide adjusted sight is NOT beneficial in hunting. Maybe a few ppl use it.... and get success but they got lucky and making an adjustment to a slide pin moments before the deer is in range, and then have him move again is definitely NOT an advantage. A fixed multi pin sight is the best way to go. And I’m tired of these ppl trying to convince ppl it’s better to do shit the wrong way.
@@ArcheryTalkVideo right but over at B3 TH-cam channel they’re talking all about it like it’s a hunting sight and how all these features are gonna benefit hunting....when they totally do not. Kinda like they market super light super fast arrows as the best. Well that’s just an opinion. Why don’t they market super fast super light bear hunting bullets??? Cuz we know that’s bullshit and there’s gonna be consequences when you piss the bear off and he shreds you like a blender cuz ya didn’t think and just believe market hype. Not saying the sight is bad. I’m saying single pin slider sights are not for hunting. If you’re really that good...great. Show me video of it. But more than likely it’s luck that it worked out. He’s 30 yards. Your sight is adjusted 30 yards. You draw you aim...then he moves again. Now what? You guess? You judge by eye? Maybe. But ya better practice that. Orrr your letting down ,ranging , then adjusting the sight again then drawing again and aiming again and hopefully he don’t move again. It’s not practical and ppl shd not be even recommending the sight is for hunting. Cuz it’s not
@@voxpopuli905 They sell this sight with up to 7 pins I think. Relax. Just because you like your little fixed pins doesn't mean everyone does. We hunt plenty fine with slideable single pins. And companies even have single pins with dual+ fibers. And multiple pointers on the slider tape. Like you said in your comment...it's your opinion.
@@sir_freak7127 it’s not an opinion it’s a fact. The slider is a target feature. And the hunting scenario I just described is a perfect and logical example of why you would not want to use it. That is unless you’re some kind of narcissist that will refuse to acknowledge reality and just continue to do something that’s stupid just to spite the fact it wasn’t you who recognized a problem. Let’s also keep in mind if your a hunter, it is your responsibility to kill the animal with as much precision as possible and kill it humane and quick. Not have the animal bleeding for the next 12 hours because you’re too arrogant to acknowledge that kind of sight is a disadvantage and you had to re aim and rush the shot🙄 so how bout you relax. In fact why don’t you kiss my ass right in the crack. Back down cuz you’re wrong and idc what kind of bullshit makes you think otherwise
@@voxpopuli905 LMAO! ok champ. I apologize for failing to realize that there is only one way (your way) to hunt. Never mind the thousands of hunters that use single/multi pin sliders. Lets make sure we listen to the Vox because this guy KNOWS. HIS. SHIT. Excuse me, let me step aside so I may admire all the exceptionally perfect hunting you do.

How was the 3rd axis on this? Seems like it doesn’t work on my rize target which is kind of the same adjustment.
Looks like a CBE sight with a couple tweaks to it.
Long term review?

No magnifier for the sight tape ?

This is a target sight. I suppose you could use it for hunting if you really wanted to, but this one is specifically designed for target archery.
