EZV SIGHT

Just finishing the podcast. All I can say is...wow! Probably a good thing we’re so close to the season, of my wallet would be hurtin’ again. Seems like this would definitely be worth trying out during the off season.

If you buy one let me know and I’ll give you my phone number. I can help with the learning curve. I’m always looking to help fellow saddle (and other) hunters. The info and help I’ve received here is priceless

I bought one and it is in the mail. I may give you a call when I get it. Thanks

By far, last night was my best American 600 round and, while I wouldn’t give all the credit to the EZV, fact is my shooting of spots got no worse immediately after switching to the EZV and has been getting better over the last month of shooting with it.

Other factors have been: rededicating myself to the tension release and further listening to the lessons from Nock On Archery.

3D has been going well also albeit a little slower progress as I get used to “ranging”.

I think there is something special going on with the EZV. Even though it is a hunting sight I am finding it nice for spot shooting because the sight picture is clear and somehow the sight just aligns itself.

Fascinated by the EZV after 1 month.

anyone bringing an EZV to SaddlePalooza?

Just surrender and order one! It's a 30 day money back and I doubt you would be sending it back. I took off my HHA single pin I had used for YEARS and put on my EZ-V. I sighted at 20 following the directions. I shot a few arrows to find the right insert ring for my speed and it was done. Groups out to 50 literally in minutes. No more need for a range finder. I shot a 3D match that weekend and did good for me. My shooting buddies all commented on how fast I was releasing an arrow on the targets. It's just simple, you frame it and let it rip.

I got one last December. I used to shoot daily and was always accurate my 1-pin slider. But work and family the last few years have not made daily shooting possible, and I started to struggle to hold my pin on target. This year, settling the pin on a deer took forever, and I had to pass several shots that happened quickly, as I just could't get the pin to settle.

So I tried the EZ-V sight, really more for the aspect of not having to use a rangefinder and shoot quicker. But, my target panic is now gone and after several days of shooting the sight, I am very comfortable with it, and impressed how easy it is to use. I can even shoot small spots with it really well at 20yds and 30yds. I was a skeptic and didn't expect to like it, but it works and I'll be hunting with it this coming season.
 
I’m in the market for a new sight and this really interests me. With the nasty stiff I hike through this along with my Whisker Biscuit will be almost bulletproof. I’m tired of busted pins and broken fiber optics. Looks like a solution to all of that. Pinpoint accuracy is my main concern. If I aim at a hair that’s where I want my arrow to hit not just in the general area. This is the only thing that concerns me about this sight. It’s hard to beat the extreme accuracy of a small diameter pin.

It's extremely durable. There is a video on FB where the owner takes a shot, pulls the sight off and puts it in a cement mixer with rocks for an hour. He then comes back and mounts it and shoots another accurate shot with it. The only thing harmed was the finish on the sight. I think he also tossed a pin sight in there, not sure if it was ever seen again. ;-)

If you want to shoot spots, at known distances, a pin sight might be better for you.

If you want to consistently kill critters, taking ALL aspects of hunting into consideration, you could possibly improve in this endeavor with the EZV.

He gives you a full refund if you don't like it. You should be able to have it sighted in within 10-20 arrows. I think you'll be surprised how well you group at 30, 40, 50 yards compared to your pin sight. I got curious and documented it just for giggles, and actually grouped a little tighter beyond 30 yards with the ezv.

I love the fact I don't have to baby my bow. Try the sight, if you don't like it get a refund. Worst case you have a little fun with something different.

I agree with the fixed pin sight being hard to beat. I'm going to the EZV for two reasons. First, my eyes are getting old and it's starting to get tough focusing on those little pins in certain lighting scenarios. Second, and probably more importantly for me, both of my mature bucks have been "there he is, stop him, shoot NOW!" episodes in the woods. The last one without time to range (exactly). After reading all the reviews and watching the DIYSPORTSMAN review, I think it's time to try it. I like shooting out to 60 yards and beyond with my pins, but I think I'll try this sight for quick acquisition shots. Sucks getting older, but at least I can afford warm gear and cool saddle stuff!! Haha. And maybe a new bow sight

Ok, I'm gonna drink the kool-aid too on this. I've suffered from target panic for years, it comes and goes. I've found a scott little hex release, helped me tremendously but this may be the giant killer.

The only issue I can see is steep angle shots. If youre ~21' up and a deer at 10 yds or less, youre looking at +20% error in visual linear distance to shooting distance, linear/visual = 12.2 yds, shooting 10. Now, Im not saying Im good enough with my pins to hold on imaginary yard increments, just saying, with this style of sight, youre better off with a little distance to match visual to shooting. Ill hold off, I dont mind pulling out my angle comp ranger.

The counter to your statement is that any compound will shoot within an inch of point of aim at 10 or 12 yards. In other words, angle doesn’t matter at that distance as far as point of aim/point of impact.

The further away you get, the percentage drops, but the effect of the miss increases.

This is the whole idea behind the sight - to aid the shooter in gaging distance quickly and instinctually in hunting scenarios, more effectively than a pin sight(offers zero help in gaging distance).

The claim isn’t that you’ll be more accurate with the EZV than with a rangefinder. It’s that most hunting scenarios don’t involve the time needed to range animals in the moment. With 10 seconds on the clock, and an animal between 20-50 yards at an unknown distance, I’ll take me and an EZV against the field with pin sights and guessing yardage...

I should be clear that I noticed no drop off in accuracy with the EZV at known distances when compared to a pin sight. I also don’t shoot spots. The whole exercise is relative - I’m trying to puncture a 12” sphere with a broadhead. Not hit a specific hair. It doesn’t mean I don’t aim at a specific spot, it means the ‘dead deer’ bucket of results is much larger than the ‘12 ring’ bucket of results, with the same effort up front.
