Spot-Hogg sights

[trackboss]

I have the black gold seven pin sight. I think its called the super seven, but not sure. I got mine in 2006 upon recomendation from the bow shop at the same time I got my bow. It's a super solid sight. I'm not sure 3rd axis is really necessary if the sight and the bow riser are machined flat and square unless the riser twists some how when the bow is drawn. It is however a true 3rd axis adjustment where as others simply allow one to re-align the bubble. 3rd axis may just be more stuff to be able to screw up. Things that would make it absolutely perfect in my opinion would be to combine the features of the trophy ridge sights. Verticle pin alignment, length adjustment, and micro adjustment screw.

trackboss. everyone pulls the bow back skewed a tiny bit. this is because the cable guards are off to one side. the 3rd axis aligns the sights only for uphill/down hill shots. if you checked your 3rd axis..at full draw, you would be surprised.

my bowshop loves everything square. they lectured me about messing with the "two screws on the side"..i asked them.."which screws?"..they pointed at the 3rd axis adjustment screws. i was surprised. they havent read the instructions.

Mine was originally set up with my purchase. I do know about things flexing though. I've read about the 3rd axis some and to really dial it in one must draw the bow back and check the level while holding the sight pins in line with a straight up object, like a wall edge. I think mine is actually off just a bit. It really seems to take some extreme shooting angles to actually take advantage of a 3rd axis perfected bow.
It's funny how the original bow shop I purchased my bow from kept me in the dark about how they set up my bow after asking them if I could watch. They were telling me as though it was some black magic done with lasers. What they failed to mention is that is great for getting close, but one needs to actually fine tune their bow while they draw it. I had asked about paper tuning and they pretended like it was worthless. I should have known better. They never even noticed that they sold me a bow with the wrong draw length after shooting in their range that first day. Took me two years to realize they sold me a bow with a 1" too short draw length. Now I just do what I can myself. I've been to almost every bay area archery shop and while they all seemed to have their good/bad sides, from my initial impressions, not a single one stood out as being truly professionals at bow tuning. Could also be they just can't make any money really dialing in a bow for a customer. That part I understand as most don't want to spend the labor costs.

track..you are 100% correct in my opinion.

i hung a plumb-bob from my ceiling, and got onto my knees and aimed up at the string. lining the pins up with the string, the bubble was off. it was crazy.

pro-shops are great sellers, not so great with the follow-thru. well most of them.

Hey great idea on the plumb bob! I didn't think of that. More accurate vertical line than any other method and stupid simple. If one doesn't have a plumb bob they could just attach a string to the ceiling and hang any small obect from it to straighten it.

STUPID QUESTION ALERT: Can anyone that knows how to shoot well sight in a bow or must the actual owner/user do it for themself? Is it like sighting in a riflescope or does form play into the equation? Thinking about delegating the chore when i purchase my Hoyt Carbon Matrix Plus.

The shooter MUST sight it in himself. Everyone has a slightly different anchor point.

sight

here is a seven deadly pins.
absolutely solid sight, because it has so little bells/whistles. two clamp gang adjust..SOLID!

So I might have missed it but is the SDP still made because I believe it was mentioned above that the two sights shown above isn't the actual sight.
