sell me on a bow sight

I recently got a 2 pin spot hogg slider and I am liking it. The distances of each pin will vary based off of your bow's speed, but with my heavy arrows it's about a 11 yard gap. I am planning on keeping it where my top pin is set on 30 and that'll put my bottom at 40. I don't like the thought of shooting much past 40 anyway.

No intention to derail the OP's intent with this thread. But I just was reading Petersons Bowhunting and saw an ad for this red dot bow sight mount and system. What do you all think of this? Its pricey but what isn't nowadays. Seems like it may be a solution for the guys that don't like peeps etc. Not sure what everyone's thoughts or experiences are with it or about it. The red dot looks to be made in Japan which typically equates to a decent optic quality. This is very similar to the Claude Pollington Site back in the 1990's with some upgrades and improvements. On the surface, the system seems robust but I don't own one and have never had a red dot on my bow. I have had them on my deer and turkey shotguns and also a crossbow and they work great. Why not for a compound system?

Wait until they go on sale and buy the Garmin Xero A1...
 
I'm looking to replace my HHA only because it doesn't fit well with my tight spot quiver. Otherwise, I'd keep it.

After a ridiculous amount of research, I've decided on the MBG whitetail
 
Go with an EZV. I picked my compound up after 2.5 months of not shooting it (recurve only for awhile) and it felt like I was cheating. Every shot was in the kill zone from wherever I was standing. That thing STILL puts a giant smile on my face every time I shoot it! :D

I'm needing to change the sight on my bow and wondering if anyone has any input. I liked my 3 pin, but want to have the flexibility to practice long range. I'm not looking for a 5 or 7 pin so I don't have the excuse of missing because I picked the wrong pin. Also not looking to break the bank. Any models come to mind? Maybe a 1 pin is the way to go but I'm not sure if I will want to have to worry about adjustment when deer are around. Thanks in advance!

I own judge trophy ridge react, if I was replacing it I would purchase the trophy ridge Electra check out!
 
Fast Eddie double pin. Has the vertical sin pin, with my bow it’s dialed to 20 at the top pin and 34 yards for the bottom with out adjusting so it’s ideal for whitetail IMO. When I practice I shoot longer distances so I can get out to 90 yards with my 500gr arrow set up for this year.
