Iv'e never tried one but to me it seems like if you can train yourself to use it then with just a little more practice why couldn't you just ditch the sight all together and shoot instinctively? Just a thought.

EZ-V Hunters

Back when I had time to shoot 100 arrows a day I shot purely instinctively. Now that I'm old and life gets in the way I find the need for a sight. For me anyway, the EZ-V lets' me focus on my target without trying to put a dot on it. I find it becomes the next best thing to instinctive shooting. In fact, my best results seem to come if I pretty much ignore the sight and just place my focus on the target point. Aligning the V with the target for distance just seems to happen naturally for me.
The added benefit for an old guy like me who is bi focally challenged is that I don't need to try to focus on the target and a point at arms length at the same time, something almost impossible for me to do anymore. Framing the target in the sight sets my range and focusing on the point of impact puts the arrow where it needs to be.
Thinking of trying this sight during the off season. Out of curiosity, how does the size of the deer's body affect the sight? A 100lb deer at 30 yards has a smaller vital area than a 200lb deer at the same distance. The reason I ask is deer in S Florida average 80-120lbs, but hoping to go to MO/KY/IN area next fall so will be dealing with much larger sized deer. Thanks for any insight.....
It's an awesome sight. I'm sticking with it.
I don't think there would be much of a difference.... If u decide to try it just practice a lot.....ur brain will learn how to frame. U can still carry a range finder and use the tick marks like pins....I still take mine and range the area around the tree then put it away...last deer I wasn't able to range...It felt natural to raise till the V was on then let it fly..
what is the maximum shot distance you’re comfortable taking at deer?
you’d be surprised at the difference in rib cage of a 150lb mature southern buck and a 250lb mature northern buck... what you’d be surprised about is how close they are in size. The concept is to frame leg to back of rib cage - something like 16”. This measurement is going to be very close to the same on most deer.
I’m no longer a proponent of the sight, mostly because of math and lack of precision. But the difference in rib cage size isn’t the main issue for me.
I am comfortable at 40 and in.

I really like the EZV and will definitely use it for whitetail. I also am comfortable at 40 and in. I limit my shooting though to under 30 for whitetail due to their skiddish nature.
Next year I'm switching back to my HHA slider though. I need to practice for elk and western stalking. I definitely feel better with the HHA slider for a known, ranged, and longer distances.

I love mine. 40yds and in is my comfort zone. Thats with any sight I have ever used. I just feel that with a bow to much could happen any farther out. I guess to me its more of a ethical thing for me.
