Looks like you got her dialed in! Nice Review! Thanks !!!!
EZ-V sight review/first impressions.
This sight is a ranging sight, meaning, you don't use a range finder. You just "bracket" or "cradle" the vitals of the deer. It's got a V and you align the housing of the sight with your peep, cradle the vitals and let her rip. Otherwise it's just like any other modern hunting sight. I had it set up on my bow in 5 minutes, set up their target and went through your typical sight in process. Started at 10 and worked my way back, gradually grouping at 20. The first pic is my first 20 yard group.
This sight has ticks down the V to indicate yardage, if the vitals are cradled at 20, the tick marks will bracket them. Same from 30-60.
I shot it about 45 minutes before I turned the insert around in order to shoot without the ticks, which is the point of the sight, using anatomy instead of known range to shoot. Not knowing the ranges was odd at first but I eventually just put my range finder down and started shooting. All in all I shot the sight an hour and have gotten some better groups than I was getting with my $250 Montana black gold 5 pin micro adjust sight so far (its for sale if you want it).
The company provides several inserts for typical bow speeds in 10 yard increments. From 240 FPS through 320 FPS. My particular set up shoots around 285 with a 405 grain arrow. I'm sold on this sight.
Pros:
Robust construction.
Simplicity (very few moving parts).
Intuitive format allows you to shoot without extra movement to range the animal and seems to cure target panic, because you're not trying to float your pin over the target and break the shot.
Cons:
The adjustment is similar to a slider, and can easily be moved if you don't get the set screw tight enough.
The windage adjustment isn't fine, in the sense that when you loosen it, it pushes left and right too easily. A micro adjust system for elevation and windage would be nice to see so you could make fine adjustment without having to start over.
Attached are my 20, 30, 40 and 50 yard groups. In order. You can call me a liar all ya like, but as I moved back, the V's lines get more vertical and the idea of bracketing the target became more intuitive and easier for my brain to grasp. I'll be leaving it on the side with no tick marks, because the ticks attract my eye and distract me from the act of shooting.
