There's a new vertical 3-pin scope offering from Dark Owl Archery. It's a slick design with modularity, however instead of of going with adjustable pins DOA has different pin guards roughly corresponding to speed. I think this sheds a bunch of weight and bulk compared to something like the...
----------------
TLDR
Having a heavier FOC does technically affect how quickly the tip "falls", however it's very likely negligible compared to the 100s of other arrow/shooter/zodiac sign/what you had for breakfast/dynamics at play.
If you're starting to see your arrow pitch, you're probably...
Another update, found a fabricator that will build the prototype. I hand-machined one with a file and it works super well, looking forward to seeing the results of a pro model.
Reviving this in case anyone else is interested. I'm trying to get this thing manufactured (I don't have access to a mill or a 3/8" 60deg dovetail end), however I'd be happy to pay someone to produce this prototype for me.

I have some 3riversarchery 100gr brass HIT inserts in mine currently, installation is identical as Easton. I didn't want a collar (ie 75gr stock HIT + 25gr collar) so I went with these to get the weight up front.

Seems like at least some folks share my thoughts as well - like the BG pins on the SH bomb-proof frame. I haven't pulled the trigger on fabbing this concept yet but it's still in the back of my head. Basically a SH rod with dovetail to mate to the BG housing. I'd be interested in...
Seems like nothing's out there yet. I'm really tempted on getting something like this going:
The SH rod just needs to be notched with the dovetail and drilled/tapped for the tightening screw. The first axis is still adjusted using the rod, the rest of the axes through the sight. This would...
Anyone ever take a look at how to put a MBG scope on a SH sight? I've seen folks put Axcel scopes on SH and vice-versa, but nothing with black gold.
I'm considering getting a 3/8 SH scope rod machined with the MBG dovetail slot.
I know I could just use my MGB sight... I just like the SH...
