About to pull the trigger on a new single pin sight for my new bow and THINK I have it narrowed down to these two. I've never shot with either one of these so those of you with experience please share the pros and cons of these 2 if you don't mind! Thanks guys(and girls)

Do you mind sharing why youd go Accutouch? I'm just splitting hairs at this point and trying to decide what would be a better investment! Thanks for the reply

I've never shot the Accutouch, only handled one.
Personally I don't like the 'AccuClick' feature; if I wanted fixed aim points I would shoot a multiple pin sight. The whole idea is to dial in the exact yardage not hit a certain 'click' without looking. I don't like the small elevation dial either, more like a thumb wheel type thing really. I also don't like that it doesn't have an on-the-fly windage adjustment; it's nice to be able to dial in the windage during windy shooting days instead of 'holding off'.
It does seem very well built.
I have used the Hoggfather extensively, and, like all Spott Hogg products it is built like a tank and I have never had anything come loose. It has both windage and elevation adjustment; like a moveable pin should.
Both sights are going to be heavier than a true target sight, but they will take a beating better.
My vote goes to the HoggFather, just due to the AccuTouch's small dial, no windage and AccuClick feature. I suppose you could not use the AccuClick feature by removing the clickers; but you paid good money for them, and you may like them. Personally I think they are trying to create a solution for a problem that doesn't exist.
Just ask yourself why you would need to have a click-in sight distance. If you have a good reason for having this feature then I would go with the AccuTouch. I guess you could get used to the small dial and just use Kentucky windage when needed.
On Edit: After reading this it sounds like I am bashing Axcel a little, I'm not. I shot the AX Series for target and I loved it.Last edited by Rat; 06-15-2015, 10:31 PM.

I have shot the spott Hogg Hogg it sights and I work at an archery shop that carries axcel. I personally like the axcel better just for the ease of sighting it in. On my spott
Hogg I had to mess with 2 set screws per pin to sight it in and it took forever to get them
Right! The axcel you can loosen the pin with the Allen screw and you. An actually use micro clicks to fine tune the pin them lock it back down. Both sights are bullet proof after you get them sighted in!
