There are different classes of 3D archery that will demand something different from your sight. Some competitions disqualify single-pin sights and others will allow you to use whatever sight you want.
Then you have both indoor and outdoor target archery that may require you to consider different features of a sight. You may want a water-resistant sight for outdoor use, and you may want to think about if your sight will double as a bowhunting scope for when hunting season is near.
Field archery can be a lot of fun with shooting targets at various distances. But, if you want to get dead-on with uphill and downhill shots, you may need a few features that you could technically go without on a target shooting sight.
The bottom line is, it’s hard to define what the best archery bow sight will be when there’s different demands and qualifications around every corner depending on your specific activity. The best you can do is narrow down what type of shooting activity you’re interested in and set a defined budget.
Competition sights professionals use are expensive. The options in our lineup are geared towards beginner to intermediate shooters with a couple of high-end option thrown in just to make you drool.
However, it must be said that you are responsible for researching if the bow sight you like will qualify for your specific competition and shooting needs. We provide the lineup, you decide what’s best!
Yes, it’s one of the most expensive bow sights we’ve reviewed, but it can be so worth it if you’re seriously considering it. What features does the Oracle have? What doesn’t it have? Merely saying it’s a single-pin, moveable sight is an injustice. Saying it’s a 2-in-1 rangefinder bow sight is an injustice.
So, what statement will describe the Oracle accurately? It does it all. It measures. It predicts. It wins. What does this mean? You’ll have to see what innovative Burris tech is revealed in the full review if you’re curious.
This Burris sight has so much to offer. It’s the kind of sight that demands respect and is likely only seen in the hands of a professional archer. What do you say? Are you good enough to wield it?
If you’re dabbling in both bow hunting and target shooting, the Fast Eddie XL could be your double-purpose sight. Speaking of doubles, the single-pin setup on this model actually features the double pin design. Not sure what that is? Our full review will explain.
The Fast Eddie XL has seen some upgraded features that are new for the brand that includes its Rack Stop and 6″ dovetail bar. It also has Spot Hogg’s MRT technology that ensures you have the best sight picture as ambient light changes.
It doesn’t take much convincing to nudge a shooter Spot Hogg’s way. The brand has history, a well-known reputation, and quality behind their products. They’re worth checking out!
It’s a single-pin, no, multi-pin bow sight. What is it really? The React Trio Pro is a 3-pin bow sight. It has the foundational features that would make it a great sight for both indoor and outdoor target shooting, and it would prove worthy for field archery too.
But, it’s no ordinary 3-pin sight. It has a floater pin that moves and can be set in the same way as a single-pin sight. Extend your distances for long-range targets, and account for angles with the 3rd adjustable axis.
This Trophy Ridge will help you take a trophy home in your next shoot. Be prepared to react accurately with React technology on the Trio Pro.
An underdog sight earns a place in the lineup. It might be under $100 but it doesn’t mean that it’s not any good. The Micro isn’t anything flashy, but it will help you get addicted to shooting off arrow after arrow.
Take the Micro indoors or outdoors and give target archery a go. The Retina Lock technology will help guide you to correct form and reduce torque. While it might not be suitable for 3D competitions, it’s right within a beginner’s a scope of affordability and functionality to get their feet wet in target shooting.
Archery is about more than competitions – it can be about discovering your passion and having fun. The IQ Micro can certainly help you pave your own path.
The Garmin Xero A1 sight is a very expensive, digital gadget. You can bet it has a built-in rangefinder, angle compensation, and customizable pin setup. If you’re a techy kinda person, you might feel comfortable wielding it without too much fidgeting in the field as it’s not for everyone.
But, how can you say no to a 2-in-1 sight, .007″ pin dots, and specialized glass coatings to ensure the best sight picture possible? Go ahead, check it out.
It goes without saying you need to know what you want out of your sight. Is it long-range capability, the ability to use a lens kit for a magnified view, or is it the digital features that will do it on the 3D range?
You’ll also have to consider if the features you’re after for competition use can work for the hunt as well – if that’s what you want out of your sight. Be activity and feature specific and you won’t be disappointed. Here’s a quick guide to get you started on brainstorming what features may be important to you.

Whichever lands closest to the middle wins!
