EZV SIGHT

I put one on my bow this spring. I'm actually hoping it has the opposite effect for me. In the heat of the moment I tend to get a little target panic and sometimes punch my release. I'm hoping since this doesn't require precise pin placement tha it might help with the worrying about whether the pin is precisely placed. Since I'm framing the vitals in the V I'm hoping I'm not worrying about small movements of the sight picture.

So far I like it but it definitely is an adjustment. It will take some more practice to see if its effective for me.

I place the marks so they are level to where I want the impact and then concentrate on a spot and bam

I am finding the same thing. I really like how it clears up the sight picture for me and allows me to focus directly on the point of aim rather than trying to place a pin on the point. The more I shoot it the more I like it.
 
I have one that’s been sitting on a shelf in my office for a few months, been too busy to put it on the bow and give it a go, but I like reading the different perspectives. I think I’ll like it. Time will tell.
 
I've got the new inserts and love them. I like a vertical reference so I've added a piece of Flo green bow string serving to my sight. It helps when I'm just shooting at a normal target and I can line it up with the back of my deer targets front leg and its perfect.
That's a 30 yard group from this morning.

I put mine on a couple weeks ago, but never got around to shooting until today. I measured my old sight and set this one the same. Painted a circle on my bag target to match the size of the supplied target and shot once from about 10yds just in case. Plenty close enough so I backed up to 20 and shot. In the circle. Then I proceeded to just wander around and shoot. Every shot was in the circle.

I’ve decided to ditch my drop away rest in lieu of a whisker biscuit since I think full containment is the way to go in a saddle. My WB should arrive tomorrow. I’ll fine tune then, but so far I’m loving this sight.

I have been using the Anchor Sight since Lynn came out with it. The combo with the EZV is working very well. I hate peeps because of low light situations and string twist. Also with the B.A.S. you can range for the in between yardage. As far as hitting smaller targets it is weird but you brain knows how much of the target needs to be seen in the "V". For me 40 yards and in is what I am comfortable and after that I use rangefinder and tick marks.

With the anchor system are you having to focus on the black dot and your pin or ezv? Seems like it’s be hard to focus on two different dots? Maybe I missed something
 
The Anchor sight is just a reference that you are at your natural anchor. You focus on the V after confirming proper anchor and continue your shot.
 
For me shooting at regular targets with small aiming points a pin sight is more accurate. When shooting at critters or 3d target the ezv shines. I shoot a slow bow and heavy arrows and the 2nd to slowest v insert is right on to about 40-45yds....have to fudge it past that. Took away all my sight panic. Once your brain understands the correct gapping and you start trusting the sight it becomes natural
 
Put the WB on, went outside and “paper tuned” by shooting into my bag and correcting for arrow characteristics. Got the arrows going in straight and hot then started playing with the sight.

I’ll paper tune for real later to get it really dialed in, but I think we’re gonna be alright with this WB/EZV combo

The first arrow went in true and the second hit the first and deflected. This is from somewhere between 20 and 30 and just bracketing the vitals like it’s designed to do. I’m still amazed that sighting the edges of a 16” circle produces these results, but damn if it don’t and damn if it and easier on the mind.

Now to just spend some time shooting and getting the mental memory of the vital size locked in and wait for deer gigging season to get here in 112 days and a wake up.
 
My groups with pin sights were not that great at 35-40.....the pin would cover up the aiming point and I'd just have to kind of guess at where i was shooting....... With the v brackets on the ezv you have nothing obstructing your view. Just touch the sides of the v on the front of the shoulder and the last rib and let it fly. My long shot groups have shrunk and confidence skyrocketed. I never attempted anything past 40 with a pin sight but with the ezv I'll sling them at my 3d target out to 60 with no hesitation
 
Ok, after a summer of shooting practice, in the back yard and in the woods from the saddle I'm completely sold. This thing is everything I've always needed in a sight but didn't know about. I'm as good at 20-25 yds as I always was with my single pin. The best part, as @Weldabeast pointed out, is that without anything blocking my sight window from 30-40 yds I am shooting consistently inside a 4-5 inch circle. That's better than I ever was with my single pin which pretty much blocked out the whole target circle at that distance. I still probably won't shoot that far as I rarely trim anything and there's generally too much "stuff" in the way out that far that I won't be able to see. However, my confidence has gone up and my target panic has disappeared. With no need to release while the pin is in the right spot I just trust the sight, focus on the spot I want to hit and the arrow ends up there.

If there is a downside it's probably that I'm not quite as precise inside 20 yds as I was with my single pin. At that range I was grouping inside a couple inch diameter circle with my old sight. When I say I'm not as precise, I'm saying I'm grouping in a 3" diameter circle instead. Still killing anything in that range.
 
I just purchased one used from the classified section and it didn't come with the practice target for setup, I guess in theory I can use a paper plate for getting dialed into the correct insert?

In "theory".
I just measured mine and the vitals area is 13" wide x 10" high, it's kinda an oval shape with notches cut at either side to help with framing and lining up the tack marks on the sight. I'd suggest getting a large piece of construction paper and cutting out the shape. Or just paint the shape onto a target if you don't mind.

This is me exactly to a T. 20 and inside I can still stack em with a pin sight. Outside that and it's pin the tail on the donkey. My hunting partner used to jokingly say I was Robin hood inside 20 but Helen Keller past that. I would never take a shot past 25 yards for fear of wounding an animal. Last year I took a slick head at 40 yards with the ezv. It was the best feeling ever, sorta like when we were kids and you learned a new trick for the first time, or finally grasped a concept someone had been trying to teach you.
 
I grabbed one from classifieds last month and it was remarkably easy to install and get the insert picked and be in the circle straight away. Still practicing (struggling to find time) and testing the insert I started with really is the one I need - so far so good, but have not shot out to 40 yet. I don't have a 3D target and getting used to how to frame on an animal gives me some concern, so I may need to just go grab one - but overall love the wide open view
