Boonie

I've tested more bow sights than you can shake a stick at, but a Spot-Hogg often makes its way onto my riser. From the original Hogg Father to the tried-and-true Hogg-It to the light and quiet Fast-Eddie PM and others, Spot-Hogg's no-slop, ultra-tough and deadly accurate sight builds are impressive.

Spot-Hogg's latest bow-sight wander, the Boonie, comes in a litany of pin options, pin orientations and mounts. This past season, the Boonie PM-Triple Stack was my go-to.

I love the Picatinny Mount design that allows a pair of dovetail clamps to attach to the Picatinny rails found on many of today's flagship bows. The PM mount reduces bow weight because the mounting bar and screw are no longer necessary, and I've experienced zero issues with the PM Mount loosening. Bow balance and accuracy are boosted with the bow sight closer to the riser.

One of the best pieces of the Boonie pie is the removable yardage wheel. Trying to slide a sticky sight tape under a trio of purple yardage pin indicators is frustrating and was one of my least favorite features of previous Spot-Hogg sights. With the Boonie, remove a pair of set screws, pull off the yardage wheel, attach your sight tape without moving the yardage indicator pins and put it back on. The feature simplifies sight-tape setup and allows archers and bowhunters to set up multiple wheels for various arrow setups.

The Boonie wears a new lock/unlock feature on the sight yardage wheel. The wheel lockdown feature is no longer under the wheel and is no longer a bulky lever. The yardage wheel knob is in the middle of the wheel. Like the windage knob, lock and unlock directions are labeled. The wheel is knurled, making it easy to grip, and a clockwise rotation locks it down while a counterclockwise turn unlocks it.

Each yardage pointer is individually adjustable for fine-tuned precision, and adjusting the second and third axes isn't overly complex. The MRT sight ring technology accounts for pupil dilation in varying light conditions, so you can punch big-game lungs no matter how bright or dull the light.

Spot-Hogg also redesigned the windage knob to reduce weight, boost ease of use and provide precise micro-adjust windage tuning. Windage adjustments are absolute and have an audible click, which I love. The windage/sight-attachment bracket can be removed and flipped for unlimited left/right movement.

Spot-Hogg's Boonie also comes in DT (Dovetail) and HM (Hard Mount) mounting options, and yellow, red, and green pin colors are available. MSRP is between $379.99 and $519.99. For more information, check out spot-hogg.com
