Sightmark Sure Shot Reflex Sight

I bought a sightmark sight I just couldnt get use to a scope bowhunting.
I tried a shotgun scope and a hawke map. Under low light i had trouble seeing the cross hairs on a deer. And i had trouble judging distance. I would range the deer then when i looked through the scope my mind said nope. Old habits after 35years of bowhunting.
The sight was very easy to mount and real easy to sight in. I tested it against my scopes and it won hands down. In a low light test.
As far as shooting its always right on the money. I will be hunting with this sight this year. and time will tell if i steal like the sight as much after this season. But at this point i like the sight a lot. I sighted the dot in at 30yds. I placed a dot and a 9" circle on a pizza box. On all the shots i held on the center dot. What i like most is i can shoot both eyes open.

Also my bow is a lot lighter.

I like it.
I just took my scope off and put on a zero magnification red dot on mine and I like the change.
I sighted mine @ 25

You are ready to hunt.Congrats.
Having confidance in your equipment is a great thing

The sight on my Vixen is the same as yours, only mine is black (and a different make).

Looks very nice. does it just have one dot when looking through it, not 3 dots? looks like something i might like to look into

It has 4 to chose from im using the 3rd from the left. If you break it down the top of the top post is 10yds bottom of the post is 20 dot is 30 top of bottom post is 35 and the bottom of the post is 40yds. or close might not be dead on. Im just going to hold a little low close and a little high if its farther.

rt 2 : that is a good set of reticles; same ones I had on a bushnell I had and I used the second from left.
it did have multiple aiming points if I wanted them and it was fast and easy to use/ see.
