Sword Trident Hunter

[ccasanova]

Anybody using this sight? Especially for hunting?

I like my Twilight Hunter. I have 2 pins...1 for 20, 1 for 40; very simple. I would like to be able to practice shooting out further, say 60-80yds. I also don't want to just add more pins to my sight b/c I don't want to clog up the sight picture.

Any info on this sight would be appreciated. Is it too big/cumbersome for hunting? Just what I'm looking for? Easy to use? All comments welcome.

I know there are several dealers here, too. How much does a G1 camo one cost?

I would like to see a picture too if anyone has one.

One guy on AT said he uses 6 pins from 10 - 60, then tapes off marks up to 100 and uses the 60yd pin as he adjusts the sight. I would like to do that with my 2 pins. The bottom is a green .010 and should work well.

I see some similiarities with the Titan in that sight minus the dovetail. Looks good.

I have a trident( the dovetail comp model but same really) It will work well as you describe. You could set you tape for the top or bottom or any pin. The trident comes with the small elevation block not the long one like the last pic shows, but Danny got me a long one so they are interchangeable.
I shoot it as a 1 pin and its great, I can set it out to 150+yrds but ultimately for a hunting sight it will be limited to groundblinds and treestands. I need faster adjustment of a 1 pin sight with max adjustment.

How are the adjustments made? Just by screwing the knob? What keeps it from unscrewing while shooting or crashing through the bushes? I guess I need to see one personally. I'll give Sword a call this afternoon.

I don't think I would ever touch the adjustment while hunting, unless I can hit good at longer ranges (past 50yd). Most of my hunting is from a treestand and I can only see so far. I would mostly use it for practicing and shooting in the yard.

Are there other(better) alternatives for a 2-pin moveable site? HHA?

[Slugger]

the hha is an awsome sight.

2 pins or just 1?

[Slugger]

just 1, thats the one i wanted but i still wanted to shoot hunter class and they dont allow moveable sights so i went with a sword twilight hunter micro

The adjustments are pretty tight so they dont move, there is a thumb set screw to lock down(makes noise if loose), its a great sight I might use mine as a 3 pin, set 30, 40,50 and a sight tape for the center pin.
The HHAs are good out to 70ish only Ive heard.
CBE has one that you could probably get with 2 pins.
Sureloc makes the lethal weapon max(3 or 5 pin) and the ST models 1 pins

I have an HHA slider and I have 20-60 marks on it. I am not using the whole tape, so if I did I think you could get 80+. If your holes on the site bracket lined up right so that 20 was at the bottom of slider, I bet you could get close to 100 on it.
