Really glad this video continues to help folks out there that might be interested in the sight. I don't make money off this and don't have any endorsement deals with anyone. I just like sharing my perspective and hope to help where I can. Thanks for the positive comment and hope the sight is what you're looking for!

Glad to be a help! That's the purpose of most of my videos, share experiences from a non-biased source and help out where I can! Thanks!

It really is an easy to understand explanation. Anyone can see and understand a ball and how it's applicable as a 3D object that represents a 3D vital area.

It really does make me feel good to know that some of my videos are reaching people and you're getting something out of them. I'm often worried that I'll end up make things more complicated trying to decipher what I'm trying to explain in my own words. I really do appreciate your positive comments!

@@OutdoorShellback As a fellow "over complicator" I have to break things down deep and totally understand it so that I can then let go and use instinct only in the field. If we do all of the thinking before we are in the tree stand we can just use instinct there. I joke with hunting friends, "Never do anything for the first time when you're twenty feet off the ground on a tiny platform staring at a wild animal."

That's awesome, man! Glad I was able to help you out! Look forward to your video too!

I've been really wanting to make a VERY abridged version of this video. I didn't realize it was SO long until I started uploading it. Glad it at least helped you though!

@@OutdoorShellback yeah I never would have taken the deer drop into consideration I've been bow hunting for 15years and always have shot pins till I get my sight tomorrow just trying to get tips tricks to sight in and how to use the sight to it's full potential. I like the demonstration with the two poles. I would like to have saw you hold the bow and camera and showed what it looked like thought the sight. Lol jk I loved the video

I think I get your point. By moving the sight further from your eye you would effectively be shrinking your target picture perspective, thus allowing you to zero in on a more precise aiming point. However, like you eluded to, I don't think an extra inch from your eye is going to make a huge amount of difference in this case. I went back to the video and watched the part about the bottom third, and I think I see your point there as well. Aaron at EZV, I think, developed the sight with that 13.5" target size and when you put that to practice it ends up being about that middle 1/3rd of the deer's body. I was just suggesting in my vid that when you get that particular sight picture established to just simply remember to slide your bow/sight down into that lower 1/3rd to avoid the deer ducking out of the way before your arrow hits. Hope that's not too confusing!

Think I might just have to do that! More than likely I'll have to wait until the offseason as all my stands are in the woods. But fantastic idea!

I find myself relying on the top tick marks for the really close shots. As I move out further, I rely on the tick marks less (let the V do its job). Your sight picture is like a basketball, & you start punching arrows through the center of it. If you think of the vitals as being a basketball, you will find yourself punching arrows through the center of them at any angle. In many ways, it makes aiming at different angles easier. I made a platform that sits on the side of my garage roof. It creates a carpeted flat platform to shot off of, & I can move it up and down the side of the roof to create different platform heights. I use it the most now (month or so before season opens).

Did u ever make this video?

The one from the stand?

All the same concept. Frame the vitals shoot for the exit

Truth be told, I have a new bow build in the making as we speak, and there's a Spot Hogg Single pin sight hanging on my garage wall that's going to be getting plenty of use...

@@OutdoorShellback I've been giving the EZ V a second try this summer, & I must admit that I am liking it better & better the more I use it now. I struggled with it last summer, & I didn't feel comfortable going into the archery season with it. I am feeling much better about it now. Live animals are unpredictable (not 3d targets). I may pull back @ 30 yards & end up taking 20 yard shot (or vice versa). Being able to place arrows into the kill zone at unknown distances is hunting for me. Using a range finder, slider single pin, or multiple sight is not for me. The EZ V has started to grow on me, & I see myself using it this coming season.

@@driftlesshunter9200 How is it going? Any luck with it yet?

@@andrewnovo3078 I harvested two 8 pointers with the EZ V last fall, & one doe so far this fall.

@@driftlesshunter9200 Wow man I haven't been in the woods a ton this year but I missed on a yote cause I didnt have time to range it and used a pin too long, I gotta try this sight! Thanks!

You visualize your target on the animal. Say a deer, you "see" the target kill circle on the side of it, raise your sight on the deer until both sides of the V are framing the kill circle. If it's 35 yards then the V will frame the target higher on your bow sight. If it's 45 yards the V will frame it slightly lower on your bow sight. You don't necessarily have to know how far the target is because the V is already mathematically set via it's stadiametric range at 13 inches. When the V frames the target VOILA!

@@OutdoorShellback I’m getting the hang of it glad I got it way before bow season lol I made a 10” 13” target on my bag it helps a lot over just shooting a 2” dot

Strangely enough I ended up talking myself out of it for deer season last year because I got my hands on a .010 4 pin dovetail that I thought would be "it". Foolish and a waste of money and like almost all my sights before has been sold off. After a frustrating 2021 dealing with being overwhelmed between two bows, three sights, three different arrow setups, two rests and two different broadheads I finally realized that for me that Simplicity is key. Pick something and stay with it. My EZ V is now mounted on my one hunting bow with one rest and one set of arrows.

@@OutdoorShellback Funny....thats why I set aside the EZ-V for the time being. Killed a lot of deer with the setup I am currently using. I LOVE putting a pin on a spot. It really eases my brain. As I have shot like that for 25yrs. -- everything works in autopilot. I had target panic / buck fever BAD and once I learned how to shoot back tension, was able to finally get a hold of the panic. The EZ-V started to introduce a bit of the panic again because I am having to think about the V. I love the V concept. I did like the video because part of the struggle with the EZ-V is that you HAVE TO figure out the site picture. You have to have that burned into your brain so it you dont have to think about it. I am still thinking to much about it. I also modified mine. The marks were to small. Hard to see. So flipped to pro side, adding sharpe 20 - 40 - 50 marks. Made them big. Used them like guardrails. Good stuff.

@@bbruno1973 I split a small strip of black electrical tape in half, & I wrap it around the top of each side of the EZ-V sight. The bottom of the electrical tape is set at the first tick mark. I found this improved my use of the EZ-V. I line up the deer's body with the bottom of the electrical tape on both sides, and then I slide the V up a bit if necessary for longer shots. I used a single fixed pin (not a movable pin) for decades, but took two nice 8 pointers with the EZ-V last fall. I pulled the EZ-V off the year before that, but it's on to stay after last fall. I find it more fun to practice with the EZ-V. Ranging a deer with a rangefinder and picking the right pin has never been my thing. I like the clear sight picture with the EZ-V. As my eyes have gotten older, a single fix pin isn't as clear as I would like.

@@driftlesshunter9200 i put the V on my backup bow. Shot last night. No marks on the V at all. First 2 arrows, one arrow shoot the other in half. 3rd arrow. complete missed the target. (at 27yds). With marks, this would not happen at 27, but took them off. I am just trying to wrap my brain around the idea. Not there yet. So you tape is set at the 20yd tick mark. You line that up bottom of the tape with the top of the deers back? At 27yds, would NEVER miss with my pins. Pins for me this season until I can get the site pic engrained into my head.

@@bbruno1973 I have not eliminated the tick marks. Personally, I would use the tick marks until the sight becomes more natural for you. I don't have a chronograph, & it took some time to pick the right insert, too. The bottom of my electrical tape on both sides of my V are at the 20 yard tick marks. I feel like I can line up the target faster this way. I have been practicing for the past month again. I shoot from various distances with every shot, but I NEVER measure the distance. I can judge when I feel a deer in my effective range, & I want to somewhat instinctively harvest that deer without much thought. When crunch time comes, simple is better. I hunted with a single fixed vertical pin or crosshair (not multiple or movable) for over 30 years. I was sighted in for 20 yards. If I felt like I was shooting slightly beyond that distance, I would just aim a bit higher on the body. I knew what my bow would do. I preferred a vertical pin for that reason, & I liked the open sight picture of one pin. I shot better when done somewhat instinctively that way. I never wanted to guess where my pin should be set for a shot or have to decide what pin to use. I can throw a football at someone from various distances without special sight, and I don't give it a bit of thought. The EZ-V is not a target sight. It's a hunting sight. I have never walked up to a deer, ranged it with my rangefinder, and then proceeded to shoot it like at a 3-D shoot. I have pulled back on deer long before they are in shooting range, & I have no clue where the best shot will take place in those situations. Once that deer stops at 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, & 35 yards, I want to be able to send an arrow into the boiler room. You couldn't give me a movable or multiple pin sight for that situation. Using the EZ-V has been a learning curve for me, too. The more instinctive it has become, the more I like it. If guys like ranging their targets and hitting bullseyes at various distances, the EZ-V is probably not for them. When you can shoot better at unknown distances with the EZ-V (vs. your mulitple pin sight), that's the time to switch over. Otherwise, use what is working best for you! I still shot a single fixed pin better than the EZ-V the first summer I had it. I made the switch the second year.

Glad this is making sense to folks out there. Aaron from EZV is always talking about center punching and double lung "every time", but never seems to emphasize the necessity to aim lower. It's a great sight, but it's not magic. We, the hunters behind the bow, still need to do our part. Thanks for commenting!

@@OutdoorShellback I just purchased a EZV sight. I called them because I currently use a lens in my peep sight. The pins were getting blurry so I purchased a new peep sight with a 1.25 lens. Works great but, I was wondering if that would interfere with the V sight. He said not to use the lens in the peep sight. I shoot with both eyes open so we shall see if this works or not.

You'd be better off going to the website and ask Aaron for advice. There's several different inserts you can get and I have no doubt you'll find the one you need.

Thanks I appreciate any feedback

It's an assumption, but to me if you were to design the "V" around a 6" to 8" target then the stadiametric measurement would cause that V to be much smaller than it is. Perhaps more accurate if you were either shooting spots or super steady with your bow hand, but realistically that would potentially cause a much more problematic hunting situation while under stress. I mean, you could theoretically make it to an inch sized target, but where's the practicality?

@@OutdoorShellback was thinking the window between the arched brackets would be some narrower using an 8” diameter kill zone which would seem to be more accurate? That’s like 40% more narrow which is pretty tight. Then throw in some anxiety at drawing down on a nice big buck you had better be in control. Would it be any more difficult than the mental/ visual task of selecting the second or third pin down and putting it in the right spot? Just wondering.

That would be what I consider "Compensation". I'd rather have my sight zeroed to where I know that what I'm aiming at is where my arrow is going to hit. I see what your point is, but I see that as one more thing to consider while aiming/shooting and during the moment of truth it's just one more thing to worry about.

@@OutdoorShellback I hear you, for me framing the vitals and hitting the lower 1/3 is hitting where I am aiming. But that’s just how my mind processes it. I personally don’t see it as a compensation, it’s the same way I sight in my pin sight, I sight it in to impact about 3 inch low, that way I put the pin in the center of the vitals and just know that the arrow will impact right around the heart. And if the deer jumps the string any, gives me a little margin for that. I don’t even think about it, just aim at center of vitals and send it. Every bodies brain processes, different though, so I understand what your getting at too.

HA! I know it DID! I've been worrying about that since I started tinkering back in Feb. Couldn't figure it out. Thought for SURE it was the cable slide because it's made with 2 rubber O rings, and one was gone. Months went by and I really wasn't sure if it was just me being hyper sensitive to any sound coming from the bow or if there really was something wrong. I just discovered the problem days after this video went up. I had a few loose screws on my cams where I adjust draw length. No kidding. That simple. The bow has never been as quiet as it is now. Relief!

@@OutdoorShellback awesome that is fixed 👍 I really would like to try that sight. But im afraid tbh
