Spot Hogg Fast Eddie XL Multi-Pin Sight Review

I’m not going to lie:  I’ve been shooting with a Spot Hogg sight ever since I reunited with compound-bow hunting back in 2010.  Prior to that I was either in middle school shooting a bow that didn’t even fit me, or instinctively shooting a stick-and-string throughout high school/college.  After giving
