Tried to do some research on here and the manufacturer website and couldn't decipher answers to my exact questions. So, any help would be appreciated.

I am currently shooting a 3 pin sight with a sight tape, using the bottom pin as my slider. I am not a fan of the overall make-up and design however, and want to switch to something after this season.

The Spot Hogg, Hogg Father has caught my attention... I see this thing on just about every pro's bow. There must be a reason for it.

My questions are, will my archery shop have to print custom sight tapes for my specific shooting set up? My current tape was printed for 303 F.p.s. and goes from 0-88 yards. I noticed the Hogg Father has a wheel style set-up where as mine has a vertical tape right on the slider.

How user friendly are they? Also, are they worth the money? I am always willing to spend the money on a quality product if it is within my reach.

Is there a big difference between the dual and single pin?

What are some pro's and con's?

What's the interchangeable sight rings about?

Thanks again everyone!

Spot hogg makes an excellent sight! I am shooting the fast Eddie. It is similar with some differences. The fast Eddie is much lighter which appeals to me for hunting. Spot hogg’s in general are bombproof and have bright pins. I like the sight ring options, the MRT technology comes with 3 options I think. Makes alignment with the peep very easy and makes for a rock solid anchor point. Single pin you have to move with each distance, double pin you have 2 aiming distances with the clear sight picture of a single pin. The double pin has 2 pin indicators on the sight tape for whatever distance you have the dial at. As far as the sight tapes, the dial is similar to the vertical sight takes like black gold for example, it’s just on a wheel. Easier to adjust in my opinion.

I think the are very user friendly and definitely worth the cost. Look at Eders.com for awesome prices on spot hogg equipment. I buy there cheaper than my 25% off discount through spot hogg directly (military). Eders has a discount if military as well.

I am not sponsored by either companies, just my opinion.

If you want to talk more, I will help all I can just pm me.
 
I just like the thought of more of a sight picture. My bow is so fast that my pins are pretty tight, thus obscuring my target a bit in low light. Also, huge fan of 0.010" pins. Single pin should be good for me between 0 and 25 or even a few more yards before I would even need to make an on the fly adjustment!
