Guest vipertec Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 I am currently using the Matrix by Trophy Ridge and thinking of going to the new Copper John. Think it might be a mistake?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY911Bowhunter Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Re: Copper John sigts vs. Trophy Ridge your thoughts If it makes you happy - why not! Either one is good and as long as you are accurate - what does it matter what you shoot. Get it, try it, sell the one you dont like! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Shooter Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Re: Copper John sigts vs. Trophy Ridge your thoughts They are both excellent sights. BUT, the Trophy Ridge is not a target sight, it's one heck of a hunting sight. The Copper John is good for either one. I've been shooting Copper John for the last few years and love them on my hunting set-up. I have to give the brighter sights to the Matirix's. I personally don't care for the vertical pin alignment. But, that just preferance and my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tedicast Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 Re: Copper John sigts vs. Trophy Ridge your thoughts I personally thing the CJ is a better constructed sight. I saw TR that my bro bought, and was not impressed with the plastic pin gaurd. It just didn't look very durable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdoc Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 Re: Copper John sigts vs. Trophy Ridge your thoughts i am not familiar with the TR but have a copper john on both my bows and really like them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZooBear Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 Re: Copper John sigts vs. Trophy Ridge your thoughts I own both sights and I think the CJ is by far the better sight! You would think that TR would use a little more metal instead of plastic, and the fiber optics should not loop unprotected out of the bottom of the sight housing.

AJ Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Re: Copper John sigts vs. Trophy Ridge your thoughts While I love verticle pins for archery, I took one look at the TR and went with something else. The CJ is a lot stronger, but it is of the horizontal design. If you are wanting a verticle pin, I suggest checking out the Vital Bow Gear sights.

carbonhunter Posted January 9, 2005 Report Share Posted January 9, 2005 Re: Copper John sigts vs. Trophy Ridge your though I'm biased I got my TR back when they where made better IMO. I've had one problem with mine I dropped it out of a tree stand(long story) it broke the bracket. I got the replacement part and hooked it up using the markings on the site, i was dead on. thing held its zero so i cant complain. I've looked at the new TR sites...and to be honest i think id rather get the CJ now. I've beat up my TR but it is an older model(Matrix three pin ) but the newer models just look like junk!!

Rayzorp Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 Re: Copper John sigts vs. Trophy Ridge your thoughts I have both the TR and CJ,, ease of adjusting the TR is great, but CJ not that harder, between the two. I lean toward CJ only because of better site guard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
