Black Gold Pro Sight Custom Review

[Justin Crossley]

I've decided to upgrade the sight on my Hoyt RX3 for this season. My current sight is the Black Gold Ascent Verdict which has worked well for me but the Black Gold Pro Sight will be a nice upgrade. A while back I went to S&S Archery and used their custom build tool to choose all the options I wanted on my new sight.



The current wait time for a custom sight is about 1-2 months and is always displayed on the S&S Archery order page.

I was excited to see mine on the porch when I got home from work today and can't wait to get it installed and sighted in. As always, let me know if you have any questions and I'll do my best to answer.

Awesome! I ordered a 3-pin MBG pro custom mid January from S&S...lead time was 8-10 weeks at that time. I'm anxiously awaiting its arrival.

what was your actual time between ordering and receiving it? Usually places give themselves a little extra time

Does this model have micro adjustment?

I don't remember exactly how long but it was pretty close to what they showed on the S&S website.

Each individual pin has a micro-adjust, plus you can move all at the same time with the micro-adjust if you want.

I was able to run out to Mays Custom Archery yesterday and get some professional assistance getting my sight properly set up. Everything was easy to adjust and Mike had it ready to sight-in in less than 30 minutes. Most guys would probably do it all themselves but I'm no bow expert and I didn't want to start off with something incorrect. My son is shooting a new bow this year and he was able to get it set up and paper tuned as well.

Today we hit the flat range at our local archery club to start setting our pins. The Black Gold Pro Sight adjusts pretty easy but there are a lot of moving pieces so I highly recommend reading the manual and watching some videos before you start. I did that and had no problems getting my 20-yard pin set and starting to dial in my 60 as well.

I plan to get the rest of the pins set this week then we have a fun 3D shoot next Sunday.

A little more pin setting today. I'm hitting decent from 20-60 yards now.



This was a group at 30 yards.

I ordered mine 1/11 and just got a shipping notice today. That puts it at just over 7 weeks.

I was able to get my pins set from 20 to 60 yards this week and put my tape on as well. My son and I are heading out for a fun 3D shoot this morning so I should have a pretty good idea if I picked the right one.

30 yards...



50 yards....



60 yards.... I guess I should have cropped this one so I looked more like a pro.... haha!

Last week I ordered a Truss Dovetail & it came in on Tuesday. Black Gold sights for what it seems to be a lifetime.

Could not be happier with my BG Sight. Thanks to Rob for all the help!

Love the 2 I own best sights I have ever owned

 

[Justin Crossley]

My son and I hit the range for some practice today. The Black Gold Pro Sight continues to impress me. At this point, I can't find anything I don't like. The dual indicators allow me to dial every shot for precise aiming while the five pins allow me the option to shoot quickly without dialing from 0-60 yards.

 

[Justin Crossley]

The Black Gold Pro Sight is still working great. I still can't find anything I don't like about it.

Great shooting! My next bow im going to set up with an adjustable again from Black gold. I love black gold sights. Ive got a Rush i added a pin on. The guy at the pro shop dropped it on the floor twice, i dropped it once on concrete. Make sure you loosen the right bolt, lol. It bounced like a ball and had zero damage. That pretty much made me a customer for life.

Were you able to find a BG sight tape that worked or did you build one?

I used one of their tapes.

They need to come up with metal laser engraved sight tapes like others have done.

I hear the slider portion now has some plastic in it? I’d love to upgrade to the dual indicator but mine is 6 or 7 years old and all metal.
