Tactical Archery Systems Sabo Gen2 Sight RH

I was very curious about this sight when first seeing it on Amazon. I researched it and saw mainly positive reviews for it. YouTube also helped. I am mainly a rifle kind of guy, so I like my red dot scopes. Having a bow sight with this type of technology did intrigue me so I ordered it.When first inspecting it, fresh out of the package, I was still curious. Any negative reviews had to be put to the test. I did notice the glare off the glass when first playing with it in my house, with it not on my bow. Also, the dots are really small. I did wonder if I would have problems since I do wear glasses. They also seemed dim, which made me think I would need to buy an LED. It does have a slot for one.Some complain about the construction of the sight. It looks solid to me. I like a light weight bow, so I wouldn't want a hardcore two pound metal sight on it like some reviewers seem to want. One area that could be more solid, but doesn't really need to be, is the fiber optic housing box on the back of the sight. There are two tiny allen head screws that need to be loosened each time you move the azimuth and tightened when finding your sweet spot. I would be very gentle with making sure you loosen them all the way when adjusting the azimuth and tightening them ever so gently when completed. I would recommend just finger tightening these two screws. This area is made of plastic, so treat it like plastic. All this area really does is not make the housing box droop downward, so no need for being really tight. If it was constructed with metal it would just add more weight for an area that doesn't need it.Some reviews wonder about the glass fogging up. I don't have that problem only because I live in southern Nevada where there's barely any humidiy. I would say to buy antifog glass cleaner if you have this problem and live in a state known for glass fogging up.I followed the instructions very carefully. Some reviewers make it sound like reading a book on astrophysics. This was more like a ten step process, not hard at all. The first part mainly just says line up the target (usually 20 yards) with the bottom of the triangle on the sight. Don't pay attention to the red dots at all. This didn't take many shots at all to zero.Next, put the first red dot at the bottom of the triangle, were you had just zeroed it. I personally didn't like having four red dots, so I just loosened the first red dot allen screw and moved it all the way to the top of the housing box. This took the first red dot out of view. Others say they move three dots up and out of view just to see one red dot. After screwing in the first red dot allen head screw, loosen and place the other red dots at the yardage points you want them (30, 40, 50yds etc..). They are just like other bow sights when it comes to loosening the allen screws and moving the yardage pins. They are spring loaded, so you sometimes don't have to tighten them as tight as the first dot. Tightening them as tight as the first one sometimes torques and moves them just a hair outside of the green center line. Just back them off a tad and they'll fall right into place. After that it just turns into perfecting it.I shot it indoors and outside. I had the sun behind me, on top of me, and in front of me. I never saw a glare in the glass. When your focused on the target the red dots seem to be plenty bright, even indoors. If you can pretty much see the target, low light or very bright and sunny, the dots seemed just fine. Cloudy days actually made them look brighter to me. I could buy an LED, but unless I was shooting at night, I wouldn't buy one. I could buy a level bubble to calibrate the hand torque green line just to be sure, but I just kept shooting great everytime with very small groups. These tiny red dots, that I thought I would have a problem with because I wear glasses, were spot on with accuracy. No issues there.I also never use my peep sight anymore. This works great because I share my bow with my teenage son who is a lot taller than me. I just adjust the draw length and he's ready to shoot. I don't have to worry about re-adjusting the peep sight everytime.Also, it's fun to show off this sight. I've shown this to other archers and they were blown away. I've had some, that had about the same draw length as me, shoot it and they immediately fell in love with it.I did have to speak with a representative from Tactical Archery Systems, the makers of the sight, about questions I had. They were great! So many companies out there just want to sell you substandard products and then tell you it's your problem. I felt like I talked to the guy who made this sight, maybe He did?, and he wanted me to be 100% happy with my sight. I did really feel like he went out of his, and the company's way, to make sure I was completely satisfied. Seems rare these days.I am 100% satisfied with this sight and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to have a great sight from a great company.

It's difficult to set but the product is good.I recommand this product. It's just hard to set with archery. I like it.

I love this sight! Its amazingly accurate, the red dots are VERY bright even in overcast conditions, but you can add a light to it if you're hunting from inside an enclosure. Honestly I don't think I would ever use any other sight again. Although I'm in love with the SABO I want to be fair and disclose a few more things. One it's a HUGE pain in the butt to get the vertical and horizontal front adjustments set. (but you only have to do it once) Adjusting the red dots is as easy as a traditional sight. Second the projection housing has set screws (when adjusting the housing left to right) and everyone is right. You have to have an Angel's touch not to over tighten and crack the housing. I was EXTREMELY careful and still cracked one side and that's unacceptable to me for an upper end sight. However, it still holds tight and still a great sight. If I could I would give it at 4.75 star rating because it is the best sight money can buy but there is that issue with the rear housing cracking so easily.

I would recommend that anyone who needs a sight look elsewhere. The idea is fluff and has no uses except for MAYBE target archery and that is a stretch. I own this sight, I have had it for a couple of years and have removed it. Here is why.The sight is difficult to adjust and if not done correctly you can damage the sight very easily. If you don't loosen the screws on the projector it will crack the housing. This sight is made from cast aluminum and is very delicate. It is tedious to adjust. The sight is not very rugged. It will probably not handle a fall. These in and of itself is reason enough to avoid but the following will convince you that you should look somewhere else.After adjusting the bow and shooting consistently with it in Florida, where I where light clothing, I traveled to NY for deer season and the first thing I did was test fire my bow for accuracy. I shot at a 20x20 foam block and missed the target 18 inches to the right. That is right, 18 inches. Put an arrow right in my brothers shed. Thinking that it was me, I aimed left to the far target and bang, 8 inches right. Arrow number two shot. I took my jacket off and moved closer. Better but still shooting right. A couple of hours later, I had the bow in sight but not consistently because my clothing was effecting my "view" down the sight. Now, I would have wrote that off but for the fact that I was sticking the bull with my brothers bow with a pin sight. My anchor was the same as in Florida so I cannot explain clearly how it was happening but it was happening. Needless to say I was less than confident in the sight for hunting so I had to make a conscience ethical decision that I couldn't shoot more than 20 yards MAX. Not good. Here is the deal breaker and is why anyone who hunts should avoid this bow at all costs. Rain/Snow. When the weather is bad, this sight blows. Water gets all over the glass and makes for difficult shots in the rain. Now, get snow and you are done. I had to put a SOCK over the sight to keep if from getting wet. This is the weakness of this sight. It is useless in inclement weather. To make matters worse, while hunting in these conditions I had to clear the sight to use it. Using and ordinary soft cotton sock scratched the glass reflector up right good. Now it is a paper weight, I can't use it and I can't sell it. What a waste. I would say this about any gimmicky site at this point. Stick with what works, get a pin sight. You'll thank me later.
