Is the UV SLIDER worth $600?

[jimputnam]

That was an absolutely incredible review! Honest and without bias!! Well done sir.

Great review, I bought this sight about a month ago and have really been enjoying it. One thing I like about it as well vs a spot hogg triple stack or HHA tetra 4 pin is the housing is a little bit smaller. HHA always hid behind my riser a little. I could also get this sight nearer to my riser than my spot hogg with a dovetail. I also really like having 3 markers on your sight tape so you can see yardages for every pin. I agree the colors of the markers are not great. Someone mentioned painting them red I think in Archery Talk.

Setting it up was a breeze as well, was the easiest sight to set up comparing from my exp with Black & Gold, Spot Hogg, HHA. I do agree with customization should be included but I bought mine off the shelf.

Very nice review of the UV Slider! Thank you so much. I don't understand why UV left one of the most important marketing 101 messages to customer's and Youtuber's...How to set-up the sight on a bow! "A detailed set-up, sight-in video should be bar coded in the sight box! This video could be easily done by one of their pro archery reps. At the price of the sight, this is a no-brainer for potential customer's.

I paid 300 bucks for my open box CBE Elevate that came with a rigid travel case and it has beautiful ball bearing clicky feedback on all the dials with zero lash and you have tapes and pointers on both sides with the ability to mount a magnifier on the inside tape. It just uses a 10-32 scope rod which is harder to find apertures for in recurve. QD for the scope means I can loosen one Allen screw and remove it for packing and two guide pins on the windage block easily line it up for mounting back without losing zero. I’ve never touched third axis but I know I can. Now I’m in the market for another sight, either for my recurve or compound, but strictly for target. 600 bucks better buy a sight that’s twice as premium as my CBE or else I can’t justify buying something new, better off second hand or open box for a good value. Btw, my elevate slides up and down with the press of a button and the dials still retain zero lash after sliding. Very well made.

Personally, I can’t see buying this at a $599 price point. I have used the CBE TL3 slider for several years now. After using others over the last 20+ years this one just works fine. My target setup bow has an Axcel sight w/ Shrewd nomad scope. All this bought second. Everything works perfectly on both setups. And I know I don’t $600 in all of it. 👍👍👀

[sanfordt.]

seriously thank you for the video. honest and to the point

What’s easier to sight in is a trophy ridge digital react. Costs half as much as the uv

Dude, there’s a bobcat in your back window. Very hard to pay attention to your sight review when a freekin bobcat is going back and forth behind you in the window well!😂

Definitely not the most expensive site. I think Garmin still takes that one. Both are amazing sites though. Great video!

The archery industry is getting out of control, let's say you purchase a new carbon bow for $1800 then a sight for $600, thats $2, 300 and doesn't include a rest, stabilizer, or arrows. You can buy a really nice 1000 yard rifle with scope set up for that.

There are no cons on a 600$ sight. Thanks for the review.

[bvanfossen]

@ghostarchery Thanks for the review. good looking setup 👍

[gkatchuk]

It’s a nice site, but priced about $150 too high. Not a great deal for the money spent.

My 2 biggest complaints. First the pins are not bright enough compared to other sights. For that price they should be brighter.

Second… there should be a hard stop when putting the sight all the way to the too.

Thirds, micro adjust on the 1st and 3rd pins.

Way too much money to be lacking these features.

[mikeguy]

I'm sure it's a fine sight. But these companies are out of line on some of these prices. The sight is not worth the money period, no sight is worth that

[kenrobertson]

Great review, Is the center pin adjustable? Would you ever use the center pin as 20 yards when you know your not going to use the top pin? Does the sight come with a side mount adapter for bows that don't Intergrated mount directly like the Mathews and Hoyt? Final question, what is brand name of the red sight leveler, Looks like it would be easier to level 1st and 2nd axes.

[RobertEva-lz]

Without even watching, nope... I have a bow with a shitty little truglo on it that I can shoot 100 yards accurately with. I also have a hoyt carbon turbo with a 300.00 spothogg on it, and it shoots the same groups. It's mostly archer and bow tuning.

[torreyintahoe]

The Option Canyon Pounder is a better hunting sight. If you want to change cassettes I could see the attraction of the UV.

[mikemrdjenovich]

Great review! Question for you: UV mentions in their setup flyer that the 1st & 2nd axis is already set at the factory. Did you have to adjust yours? Also, was the 3rd axis set at the factory pretty close?
Good content, very in depth review, nice work!

[rodiemace]

How much of this sight is 3d print/poly?

[lawrencefranck]

Of the things that make the shot possible release, rest and sight the sight is the least important component. A $600 sight isn’t going to make you shoot better and it won’t be any more accurate than $40.00 sight.
