I just purchased a B3 Exact last week after issues with other sights. They fully customized the pins for me ( all green because of a vision issue). Sight arrived without the light bracket. They had one to me in 48 hours. Customer service before, during & after the sale has been extraordinary. Plus a USA made sight for that price? Fantastic!!!!
I have known the guy that owns B3 since he was one of the top people at Scott Archery many years ago (when the Scott family still owned it). Brian is topnotch. I am glad you had a good experience.
They are great sights. Thanks for the support Skyler. Anyone that wants to try one can get 15% off at B3 Archery website using code: B3WINKE. Have a great day.
It is a good solid, simple sight that is a good one for whitetail hunting. Also, if you are mostly a whitetail hunter, you might give some thought to having your three pins at 25, 35 and 45. I did a long study on this topic and the best single pin sight in distance is 25 yards - gives the most forgiveness for misjudging ranges from zero to almost 35 yards with just one pin. Good luck.
I can respect your wants for simplicity but I come from a target and hunting background, so I like a precious sight even for only shooting out to 40 yards.
Good point. I used to shoot 3-D tournaments a lot back in my early archery/bowhunting days and I was changing arrow setups just about every week - and playing with different anchor points, draw lengths, etc.. I loved micro-adjustable everything back then. But as I got away from competing (I need to get back to that) I moved toward sights and rests that once adjusted were like welded steel. I didn't want to chance anything moving or vibrating loose over time. Some of those sights and rest setups remained unmoved for several years as I rarely changed my arrow setup. They were accurate, just not very adjustable. Have a great day.
Pin housing?? I think thats what they call that... Im a tall archer also, 32" draw, so I think i would really like that rail to mount my sight. I still have the side mount with dove tail.. Looks like a good sight!
I really like it Bryan. Yes, I have a really hard time getting my sights high enough using a standard dove-tail side mount attachment. The pic rail is definitely better for me.
Love these videos, Bill. What quiver are you using? I’m having a hard time deciding what to put on my new RX8, and the season is approaching fast! Would love to see what you’re using on you’re quiver Setup
Thomas, that is a good question. I guess there are some new ones from Kwikee that I am going to test but in the meantime I will stick with the Fuse quiver I used last year.
Is it hard to move the invidual pins? I want to upgrade from my cheap trophy ride but the thing I hate the most is trying to move the pins when sighting in.
You have to move them all individually with a small Allen wrench so I would say the sight is about normal from that standpoint. They lock down good and the sight overall is very solid, but I wouldn't say there is anything special about the ways the individual pins move. Also, if you decide to buy one, be sure to take advantage of the discount I was able to line up for our viewers.

Please Bill please start using at least an 8" stabilizer with just a couple ounces of weights!!! I've been watching you since 2008 on midwest whitetail and it drives me crazy that you could be a much better/effective hunter
Tyler, I appreciate that, but I don't think adding a few ounces to the front of my bow will make me a better bowhunter. I think that comes down to judgment, experience, sometimes endurance and usually ends with short, well-timed shots. But I will not argue with you that a stabilizer might make me a little bit better on the range. I can mess with one and do a Setup video on whether it made me a better shot. I think that would be interesting. I know the top archers use them. I am just a minimalist. If I was good enough, I would definitely hunt with a recurve bow. Thanks for the comment and the support.
@bill-winke no really meaning "better hunter" but rather I should have said maybe efficient killer lol I shoot tournaments all over the country and it will definitely help you be a better shot and effective killer
I could of killed the biggest buck of my life 2 years ago if I had that light on my sight. Early morning and overcast hiding in a cedar with him 10 yards away and I cannot see the pin to put a vital shot on him. Puts his head down and walks directly away. Haunting me to this day.
I had a really good one get away a few years back too because of a poor light. I was in a blind and the sight light didn't come on when I turned the knob. It is super hard to make a good shot from a blind during the last hour daylight without a sight light. At least at my age. We get what we pay for. What were those deer worth? At least the cost of a sight with a good light! Good luck.

@@bill-winkehe is….thanks for taking the time to reply. Have a great season!
I have one, it’s high quality yet simple. Great sight for a Mathew’s bridge lock for half the cost of Mathew’s branded sight
They are great sights. Thanks for the support Skyler. Anyone that wants to try one can get 15% off at B3 Archery website using code: B3WINKE. Have a great day.
Bill your show is down to earth I can relate to your style and equipment get the job done.
Thanks Robert. Much appreciated.
Enjoying the set up series. My son is taking his compound out and it's helped us tune and set him up for the woods.
Thanks for the support Brandon. Much appreciated. Have a great day.
I really like the looks of that sight especially those customized pins..
Definitely, I appreciate the comment Paul. Have a great day.
Agreed. That's a nice sight! I use a fixed 3 pin 30 40 50

Looks like a very well built sight.
It is really solid. Thanks for the comment.
Appeture bill, nice sight.
Thanks for the clarification. Have a great day Archer. Thanks for the comment.

@@bill-winke I bought the sight using your code and it arrived today.
More content on setup
We will try to keep it coming. Thanks Nicklaus. Have a great day.
Dream Big brother 🙏
Thanks Edward. You too brother.
That dovetail mounting sure does cut down on the overall sight footprint.
It is a cool setup and allows guys like me who have a low anchor point to get the adjustment I need. Have a great day.
