PROS
CONS
Are you a bow hunter looking for a combination of an accurate single pin sight and quick range adjustments?
The Truglo Range Rover sight just may be what you are looking for. With its modern design, availability for right and left handed archers, and quick on the fly adjustments you may not want to take another shot without having this sight on your bow.
Is It Worth Your Money?
The Range Rover sight is one of the most popular single pin archery sights on the market today. The new Zero In range adjustment is quick and quiet.
With the pre-marked ranges on the sight all you have to do is decide the distance to your target, roll the wheel to the desired range, and you’re ready to shoot.
The Range Rover has several models available in both black and camouflage finishes. Left hand models are also available.
The large circular housing gives you a sight picture that is clean and easy to see with a fiber optic powered pin for easy aiming. It features a solid construction and an optional scope lens is available to add a 2x magnification.
Sight Review and Breakdown
Even with all of the advanced features the Range Rover is a relatively simple sight that is easy to use. The sight pin is available in two different sizes depending on the archer’s preference. The sight can also mount a quiver directly to it for faster reloading.

Other models feature windage adjustments for accurate shots, and neither option requires tools to make changes. All of these features make for an accurate sight that is simple to use.
