Archery Sight Light help

[J.J.Boo]

I am shopping for a new archery sight light that doesn’t use wires. Let me know what y’all are using and what’s best. I appreciate it

In my experience, none are stellar performers.

Apex is garbage.
Spot Hogg is poor to fair.
TruGlo is manageable.
Black Gold is satisfactory.

So you would go with the Black Gold then? Also do you know what the threads are on it?

I would, but the mounting leaves a lot to be desired. It has a more coarse thread than the Spot Hogg and TruGlo. Not exactly sure which thread it is. I'll try to figure it out.

man not a lot of people chiming in on this. does anyone else have any recommendations?

Looks like 3/8-24 thread.

Also, I notice Apex has a new light out that rotates like other brands. Maybe it's better than the ones I had from them that had a push button.

They're illegal to hunt with in CO therefore no experience. I can't say for certain but I believe a lot of states have restrictions on the use of electronics on bows as they're considered primitive weapons

Yep...same here in Montana...nothing “electronic” can be attached to the bow.

what would you recommend?

I just use a good fiber optic site...mine is an older trophy ridge, I believe. It collects light pretty well, and is pretty visible throughout legal shooting light.

Nothing says you can't use a sight light indoors or on the 3D range in Montana or Colorado.

I hunted Colorado with my Black Gold Ascent Verdict and did not miss not having a light. Pins were good to last shooting light.

True. I made the assumption that the OP was asking about a hunting application...

Yep, Black Gold Ascent. These sights tend to gather the most light based on my experience.

i have a sureloc lethal Weapon RED 5pin (.019) with retina lock also and that brings in alot of light. but i just switched to the spot hogg Hogg Father (.010) and i will need a light on that
