I love your videos. I am new to archery and pretty stoked about it. ( I’m starting late.. 53 years old) I bought the Hoyt Alpha X 30. I picked up a UV release and I’m getting used to it and liking it. (I’m contemplating getting the UV slider site.) I do realise this is more than I’ll ever need since I don’t hunt and I only shoot in my own yard for the most part. It looks like something will not outgrow. Unfortunately, we don’t have any archery stores, aside from larger franchises like Bass Pro, anywhere in my area. In order for me to go to someplace that can help me set up my bow and get me rolling I have to go an hour to an hour and a half drive. Have you ever thought about moving to Hampshire? Anyhow, I’m rambling. I like your videos. I like your content that teaches people how to do things I want to be able to set up and tune my own bow. You are helping me get there, thank you 🙏 (oh, and if you have a giveaway for that site, I will resubscribe and like and click whatever I need to!!)
I know that when I hear the excitement in your voice and when you are about as giddy as I've seen you with any product, it's going to be a good one. I agree with you assertion that the only downfall on paper, is the price. Keep up the good work and taking my money.
As you said, you give very honest reviews and I watched a fair swagger of them. As I just a few days ago said ‘fuk it’ and ordered one, I was pretty chuffed to wander over here to your channel and see this review. This product just makes so much sense where everything else seems to be a total ball-ache… Nice job. Many thanks from Aus-tray-lee-ah.

Really glad MFJJ did this review!! I’ve watched a few but the creators I would expect to be somewhat biased. I feel like Mr. Jones is pretty dang real about stuff, so thanks for that. I am curious about what material was used for the dovetail and rod. Aluminum? Some type of composite? Surely not 3D printed plastic for that kinda sticker. Haven’t seen anyone talk about that.
And I literally just bought an Axcel Landslyde carbon pro with 3 pin Accustat scope to hunt with this year. Just bought it last week, then this thing drops. I think the price is right. By the time I buy a light kit, I’ll have a 600 dollar sight with the landslyde, and it’s not nearly as streamlined. So who wants to trade my Landslyde for a UV slider? Lol Good looking sight! Absolutely everything I want in a total hunting sight package. Thanks Josh Jones @Podium Archer
What kills me isn't the price. It's that when you read the warranty, if you hunt in anything other than perfect sunny conditions, the warranty is void. That coupled with the very limited one year warranty tells me they don't stand behind their product. It's a shame, I was pretty excited to buy this sight, but I'm glad I didn't!
Expensive? Yes! But I don’t think it’s that expensive compared to say a axcel landslide and the ultraview scope combo after you purchase both. I believe I am at or over $500 with my sight. In general archery equipment is getting really expensive anyway. The damn bows are $1200- $2000 now.
I think the price it right, it looks slick and has some decent features. I'd be curious to see if this sufferers from the usual UV durability and QC issues
Everybody keeps harping on the price, but it's technically on par with the rest of the market in that niche. This thing is a target sight pretending to be a hunting sight. Put an Accustat on an Axcel Achieve XP and you'd be in the same price range. Dialed Archery is in trouble, though.
Can’t speak to the US pricing, but in Aus, a Landslyde or HHA with a UV XL3 is knocking on $900-$1000. Aus retail for this sight looks to be the same, so I’m keen on picking one up when they eventually come down under
I got one on pre order. Only thing I could see id want to change is to have a triple vertical pin. The human eye naturally aligns thing vertical better then horizontally. Otherwise this sight starting to look like a winner in my book.
Can you shoot it? See how you like it with it on the bow? Seen a lot of people hold it but very few mount it and shoot with it and even fewer sight it in and setup a tape. I like my uv3xl/hha combo but this just looks super clean. If I can set it up with my current uv3xl scope, I kind of want one. I'm not really sold on the 3pin scope like they have it, I like the picture of my vertical 2 pin better. If I can get it all setup using my current scope, I'll probably see what's available around Christmas this year for the sight only and pass on the scope.
probably the best placed locking mech since it puts your fingers in the same position on the wheel. I don't understand why companies put theirs a mile away, or in a place with less access.
At $600, I'll have to pass on it for now. Not saying I won't buy it, but I'll have to upgrade bows first. That sight on my $500 bow isn't something I can justify. Maybe when I get a decent flagship bow I'll look into a sight of this caliber.
I bought one, but haven’t set it up since I’m waiting for my bow to come in. My question though, is it worth it if all I’m going is stand hunting and target shooting in my back yard? It looks awesome, but I feel like I’m spending a lot of money for features I won’t use.
Can we get an update on this? Has it started to vibrate loose on you at all? Also I would like to know what your favorite sight is. I don’t want to buy multiple sights. I just want to buy the only sight I’ll ever want and need.
How do you think this stacks up to the black gold duel track? Features look nice but the lack of vertical and micro adjustable pins seems better on the BG. Also, I might be missing something but how do you use the lowest pin if it doesn’t have an indicator on the site tape?
there's a indicator included in the case that you install easily. They shipped it out this way because there's a crucial point - for the 4th indicator to match up you have to center the bottom pin in your peep instead of centering the housing, so they have that info in there with the install video so people don't miss it
For me the killer is they do not offer this in a direct/standard mount. Whether your bow doesn't have the Bridgelock or Pic mount, or you are not a fan of dovetail mounts for hunting.... Other than that, it looks like an awesome sight!
@@98blower17 Pointless? this is your opinion. FYI, there are more direct mount sights sold annually than dovetail, bridgelock, and picatinny. 😉 Just as I noted, "for me the killer...", not for everyone. 😄 I do not like or trust a dovetail style sight on my hunting bow. When I get out west, I prepare to be in the backcountry for 15 days (hoping not that long) and try to mitigate as many SPFs as possible. Hell, my backup rest is a whisker biscuit. lol This is my approach to managing risk, it works for me, and it's not for everybody.
99.9 percent of the people buying a sight at THIS price would throw rocks if it DIDNT have a dovetail. You say more people shoot a direct mount which is true bc that’s including the guys shooting a 99$ basic sight. Anyone and everyone who’s buying this particular sight wants a dovetail. You may the the only one on earth not.
Pin brightness is sub par for a western hunter on the UV3XL in a state where lighted pins are not legal. Bear hunting dark timber, still legal shooting light I cannot see my pins. HHA pins are still visible in same situation.
I understand you set this up with the not movable middle pin. So no deadstop at 20, does that just mean if turn until the stop that your top pin may just be on another yardage depending on your bow speed? I'm lost haha thanks.
Just another reason a stick bow is looking better I don’t shoot tournaments so I don’t have to spend money on some long distance shots when we need to be taking ethical shots, I’m old and just don’t understand why companies want to overpay these manufacturers and they still can’t fill the orders no wonder why people across the pond is winning 🤔
How is this better then a 3 fixed pin sight (for whitetail)…all my shots are inside 40 yards. I can see where this site would excel for total archery challenge/competitions and longer shots but for Whitetail hunting what is the real advantage?
HHA Tetra Tournament is nearly the exact same thing, with the huge advantage that you can swap sight tape/rings on the HHA in seconds, for different arrow setups.
@TheDriftlessDrifter I'm sure in time you'll be able to. But for now it looks like they are gonna push the full sight with scope. I'd say winter this year maybe spring next yr before the sight only is available. Pre orders are booked all the way into October last I saw
Dang, damn near costs more than my entire setup. Won't be checking this out lol. Prime rize, hamski, trophy ridge Hotpoint, n chocolate addiction release. Spent $ 670 on full setup, how can they justify these sight prices.
Its not every day you hear MFJJ be as impressed with a product as he is here.
That’s why I just got 10x more excited for mine to come in 😂
God why do I love new gear. Never going to be able to financially recover from this 😂
Kind of mind-blowing how simple it is, yet covers EVERYTHING! 😳

Still needs a movable zero stop and metal sight tapes. Add those features and it’s PERFECT
Wow, nothing to pick apart except the price! I'm impressed. I did preorder one on the UV website and can't wait to try it!

This is one sick sight.
Got to touch,and exam on drop day.
It is so smooth and great mfg.
Going to change the industry.
Love all your videos!
Love the sight. Just wish it had 3 or 4 vertical inline pins versus the stacked pins it comes with. Other than that, I want one!
You can put the vertical double pin cartridge in

I am curious about what material was used for the dovetail and rod. Aluminum? Some type of composite? Surely not 3D printed plastic for that kinda sticker. Haven’t seen anyone talk about that.
I watched a video a couple days ago and in the comments it was mentioned that it’s made out of 2 different types of aluminum.
This seems like the most efficient setup for a three-pin site that I've seen yet
Ive been using the trophy ridge Hotpoint. 2 fixed n one slider. For the price it's not bad option.
I run a CBE engage 3 pin slider and it does most of this.. they have new one called AXIS but yes I know.. its not American made lol
Please do a review after a few months of use. Pretty please. Curious to see how the bolts hold in place
If the packaging wasn't such a cutie maybe the price would be more down to earth.
And I literally just bought an Axcel Landslyde carbon pro with 3 pin Accustat scope to hunt with this year. Just bought it last week, then this thing drops.

It sucks that shit costs so much for us here at the moment. Take us back to 2012. Where this sight would cost us like $500, not today's $947
@@declanmyers8064
I gave up being upset about that when flag ship hunting bows started knocking on $2k
Cant wait to get one. Only gripe i have is no metal sight tapes. For the price you would think it would have them. Deffinatly not a deal breaker tho.
What's the chance you could talk about the pin brightness compared to an HHA?
I got one on pre order. Only thing I could see id want to change is to have a triple vertical pin. The human eye naturally aligns thing vertical better then horizontally. Otherwise this sight starting to look like a winner in my book.
agreed, I prefer the 2 pin over horizontal pins, lefts and rights definitely improve for me with a vertical pin.
Wouldn’t the XL double pin cartridge fit this scope?
I would change the price too
@@JamesBond-oc4gm agree the price is steep. My discount at Lancaster worked for 10% off. So got it for a little less then msrp.
@@thenameiwantedwastaken it probably will I really like the 3 pin vertical tho.
Love this thing! Maybe I can add it to a new bow… when’s the giveaway happening?

Awesome
My question is how is the weight!? I’ve been shooting spot hogg love how tough it is but man it makes the bow feel so much heavier.
The side pins kills it for me. $600 for a sight plus a scope is right in the ball park.
agreed!!! there should be a cheaper single pin option for bros like us 😁
got mine on order right at launch , if this had metal sight tapes and they went to 200 yards is the only thing i can think of that would be better.
Can we get an update on this? Has it started to vibrate loose on you at all? Also I would like to know what your favorite sight is. I don’t want to buy multiple sights. I just want to buy the only sight I’ll ever want and need.
I had one and sent it back. The windage adjustment was so mushy and couldn’t tell if it was clicking or not
Wonder if they will come out with inline pins?
Only thing I would add is the ability to click adjust the pins like the Mathew’s/axcel fixed 5 pin
How do you think this stacks up to the black gold duel track? Features look nice but the lack of vertical and micro adjustable pins seems better on the BG.

Hi, would it be possible that you make a full review of the sight and how to sight it in.
Thank you and greetings from Germany

Whether your bow doesn't have the Bridgelock or Pic mount, or you are not a fan of dovetail mounts for hunting....

Are the sight tapes paper/sticker or metal?
Can I use this with the Ultraview 3xl hunter site...
does it offer a pic rail option? will the use of gloves (or bigger fingers) affect using the smaller windage knob? overall seems legit
Yea they offer three versions, bridge lock, pic rail and standard side mount with the appropriate offsets for each.
Not sure why you would need to use the windage knob with gloves on?
I'm sure that would depend on how thick your gloves are.
@@douglasvaughn9530 i hunt with gloves on.
Are .166 30 grain titanium insert coming out soon
Mfjj, have you had the chance to check out the mathews title dropping this fall?
Would have a to wait a few years to see how these things hold up
How much does it weigh? I asked UV on their Fbook page and no response yet nor could I find the weight on the website.
The website has been updated (copy/paste below):
Weight: Bridge-Lock & Side Mount - 12.5oz | Picatinny - 12.3oz
Sure would bee cool to see Josh and Chris have a shoot off, maybe tac.
I was talking to my brother Dan, and our general consensus is there should be a single pin option.
Your brother sounds like a smart guy.
you are my Brother 😂
You can change the cartridge to a single pin.
I think he meant a multiple vertical pin not just a single pin.
@@danlay7616 They have a double vertical pin.
Que the high price groaning😂
Can you make a video on sharpening a broad head?
How is this better then a 3 fixed pin sight (for whitetail)…all my shots are inside 40 yards. I can see where this site would excel for total archery challenge/competitions and longer shots but for Whitetail hunting what is the real advantage?
Dare I suggest a product give away? Even if it’s not till November. Just an idea
Does it come with a scope at that price? At that price point it better have a 2x and 4x or I'm out. Ridiculously priced 😞
Please do a review of pse shootdown
Does it fit bear adapt plus
Wish it had vertical single pin...
3 indicators and 4 pins. I'd like to see a true 3 pin UV3XL cartridge
600 is a lot but if mfjj is that excited I think I might half to bite the bullet and try one 😂
How’s it holding up?
Why would an archery company drop a product in November?
How to improve on the sight as is. How about be able to put a lens on the 3 pin + bonus pin cartridge. You can’t which is a big disappointment.
Does anyone make anything similar to that? With the ability to adjust vertically and horizontally?
HHA Tetra Tournament is nearly the exact same thing, with the huge advantage that you can swap sight tape/rings on the HHA in seconds, for different arrow setups.
@ambiguity22 do you think it would make a good hunting sight, durability wise? I'm not familiar with the sight.
Come up with a verticle single pin and I'd buy it!
Is it worth the money ??
Bro... its an HHA Tetra Tournament copy without the ability to switch sight tape rings in seconds for different arrow setups. 😂
I can’t even finish watching this video after that price.. First one of yours I’ve not watched
Can you integrate any other sight housings on it ?
It does not look like it.
I'd be a buyer at $419 if I could just take the site housing off my Spot Hogg and add it to this slider assm.
@TheDriftlessDrifter I'm sure in time you'll be able to. But for now it looks like they are gonna push the full sight with scope. I'd say winter this year maybe spring next yr before the sight only is available. Pre orders are booked all the way into October last I saw
@@jordanpowell228 Can be booked for the next 5 years as far as my hourly pay is concerned lol
How much does it weigh?
It’s incredible because you likely got it for free
600.00 they can keep it!!! Ridiculous 😧😧 😢
The lack of a zero stop is the ONLY thing keeping it from being perfect
good point
Metal sight tapes would be nice
All plastic ?
Does anyone know how the weight of it?
Weight: Bridge-Lock & Side Mount - 12.5oz | Picatinny - 12.3oz
How do you sight in the up and down ?
Not sure how this is doing more than a Landslyde does, just looks a bit different.
Its gotta be pretty darn close to perfect with a price of pushing 700 with taxes.
Why not sell it cheaper without that fancy case that most people won't use. I would think you could save 50-60 maybe even more just in packaging.
What does it weigh?
Dang, damn near costs more than my entire setup. Won't be checking this out lol. Prime rize, hamski, trophy ridge Hotpoint, n chocolate addiction release. Spent $ 670 on full setup, how can they justify these sight prices.
Bceause flagship bows are nearly $2,000 in certain instances these days. If you're spending that on a bow, 6 bills for a sight doesn't sound as bad.
Guess I'm just cheap lol, still won't ever pay that price. Specially with so many other options. Not a fanboy archer, I just kill
@@afidbhawkins3173 Preching to the choir. I still shoot a 2012 HTR. It cost far less than this sight lol
