Has anyone used these? If so can you speak to the build quality does it look like it will hold up to some abuse. Is the slider smooth? Accurate? Thanks for any feed back.

I had a single pin when it first came out. Great sight for the money. Quality is good, but can’t compare to higher end MBG or SH sights.

I would prefer to get a MBG but not sure i will like a slider or not...i might be able to get one of these for a decent price and determine if i will like the slider style. Or should i just look for a MBG slider and not look back. I want one that has the fixed pins and then can slide when i need it to.

I would save money and look for a deal new or used MBG or SH (both have diff options for # of pins) or even a used option archery sight. Because either way can lock it in place and just shoot like a normal fixed pin sight anyways. You would likely be happy for a long time with apex sight but if it’s $100 I know can find some of what I mentioned around $200 last I looked. And those are buy once kind of sights.

I bought one about 3 months ago and the windage adjustment dial is already broken. Seems like the build quality is not as good as my old MBG. They are going to replace it it sounds like but it makes me worry about hunting with it.

I have one. It is not the build quality of a MBG or Spott Hogg. For a lower cost sight that is pretty close to the MBH, look at the Rocky Mountain Driver sight. Well made, and a stout design. I replaced the Apex with that sight on my backup bow. The slider on the Apex is a block of nylon. I didn't care for that. It is probably tough enough, but I prefer aluminum with nylon friction pads.

The Rocky isn't as smooth as my Fast Eddie, but I wouldn't feel I was missing out if that was they only sight I had. It works well.

What distance should a 4 pin bow be sighted in?

It's recommended to sight this pin at 20 yards. Today's high-speed bows don't need to be sighted in for less than 20 yards as a general rule, but be sure to practice these close shots after you are sighted in. The subsequent pins, below the top pin, are recommended to be sighted in at 30, 40, and 50 yards.
