I’ve got one I’m interested in selling. Shoot me a pm.
I shot 2500+ shots over the course of a year or so with the EZV sight. It took that many shots to rule it out for me for whitetail hunting. Put simply, if I apply math to the situation, and shoot at a deer past 30 yards with a bow, I already have decreased the odds beyond what I’m normally comfortable with. If I add in not knowing the exact distance, the margin for error combined with all the variables is not acceptable to me.
I shot three deer and missed one with it. All were inside of 30 yards. I didn’t attempt a shot further than 30.
At the end of the day, the single pin system for whitetail hunting is the answer for me, and I think for 90% of whitetail hunters. Yes, my sight is adjustable. Yes, I might shoot at a deer at 40/50 yards should the conditions be perfect. But I put the odds at close to zero I take that shot anymore with a bow.
Mostly, I think the lack precision that comes with the ezv overcomes the advantages of it.
- Clear sight window versus multiple pins(I only shoot one)
- Eyes natural tendency to center the V on what you’re aiming at (I’ve probably shot 200k shots plus with a bow and pin sight. To say I’m conditioned to it is an understatement)
Faster target acquisition - this one I did notice as being an advantage standalone.
Those are the only advantages to me.
The ‘not having to range’ I don’t see as an advantage because it wasn’t precise enough in my testing to be considered so. I can see people shooting speeds above 290-300fps it being sufficient for what we’re doing. But then you’re shooting a light arrow.
I think it would be useful inside of 30 yards. But I am consistently more precise inside 30 yards with a single pin, and there is no lingering doubt in my head if I have the deer framed properly.
