The Trophy Ridge Voit is a 5 pin bow sight that is for hunters on a budget. The sight’s MSRP is 50 dollars, but should you spend that little on a bow sight? Is it really worth the money? Well, I bought it, so here’s what I think about it.

The specs of the sight

This sight has 5 bright .019 diameter pins; a .019 pin is about average size when it comes to pins, and the diameter of the pin is actually very important. If your pin is small, around .010, you can aim better at long range, but it is harder to see in the low light. However, with a bigger pin, around .029, it is harder to aim at long range, but you can see it better. The pin size .019 is in the middle-of-the-road of .010 being small and .029 being big.

This sight is fully adjustable. You can move each pin up and down or you can move the whole sight housing. To move one of the pins, you just have to loosen the pin screw and you can slide it up and down. To move the entire housing, you loosen an allen screw and move the sight up and down or left and right.

This sight has a green ring around the housing so you can it better. For shooting in low light conditions, there is a built-in light. Some states do not allow you to use a lighted pin, so check your state regs before buying a bow sight.  

Depending on bow speed and desired pin gap distance, this sight has 3 different mounting holes. The benefit of having 3 different holes is that you can put the sight closer or further to your bow to fit what peep sight you have. Having the sight up close means you can get more range, but it’s harder to aim. Having it farther out means you can aim better, but you get less range out of your sight. So if your bow is slow, you want the sight up close, but if your bow is fast, you might want it further out.

Durability of the sight

After hunting for 3 seasons with this sight, and thousands of shots, I know the ins and outs of this sight. And this sight has proven to be very durable.

I have banged this sight on tree limbs going in and out of stands. I have fallen on this sight. This sight has practically been tortured, and it’s still holding up. I have dragged this thing in the mud and the snow; I have gotten this thing soaked.

I have lost zero a few times, but that’s to be expected. All sights will lose zero with what I have put this through. (Zero is when your sight is spot on because zero means you are zero inches off).

In the durability factor, this sight is great for only being 50 dollars. 

Other things to consider before buying

Yes, this is a great sight, but there are still cons. You have to be very careful with the pins. It is very easy to strip out the threads of these pins, which I have done to this sight before, giving me a four-pin sight.

One thing that can be confusing about this sight is the pins; you can misspin easily. Misspining is when you confuse your pins and miss the target. Because the sight’s pins are green, green, red, green, green you can confuse your 20-yard pin with your 30 pin because they are both green.

I would say there is a lot in this sight for only being 50 dollars. Yes, this sight is pretty bare-bones, but for 50 bucks this is a great sight. I have had no bad experiences with this sight for the most part. I would say if you’re looking for a budget 5 pin sight, take a look at this one.
