Anybody been out in the field? What’s your first hunt of the year? Nevada was a wild experience.. that video will come out in the next couple ✊🎯🏹
Can't wait excited to see what you make!
I just got my first archery Mule Deer here in my home state of Nevada. Ran the dialed sight and I love it. Took a 55 yard shot, and got him right through the heart. Seems like a lot of people sh*t on it, but its been good to me. However, this sight looks incredible!
@@leap_outdoorsmy dude!
a nice Florida marsh spot that you need an airboat to get to. good luck this year to all
Be hunting whitetails on my land in eastern South Dakota with my new Prime Revex. Good luck
I love a lot of the features of the UV slider and thought they put into it to make a simple and user friendly site. The price is what kills it for me. There are so many other options out there that are considerably cheaper and work just as well in my opinion.
It’s a dirty job but someone has got to do it.. I’m glad to see the innovation.. it will continue to push other archery companies to innovate.. it’ll be interesting to see how durability holds up over time.. thanks for hanging out ✊
Definitely expensive but still competitive. An Axcel Landslyde + UV3XL + UV scope rod comes to around $550
@@laithalmas8413how is that competitive? 😂 you named one sight!
@@northdakotawaterfowlersbla2358yeah but it’s one of the most popular hogh end sights on the market *high
The intro was 🔥 keep up the good work Tim!!
That $600 price tag is a tough pill to swallow. I’ll be sticking with my CBE.
Great video Tim. As someone who plunked down cash on an dialed sight and is somewhat hesitant about gen 1 products, I look forward to hearing what others think as they get out into the field. Cheers.
Nice to meet you on the range, good shooting!
Top notch video! Awesome video footage and editing. This is the best video and review I’ve seen on the slider! Great job Tim
Rueben my dude!
@@TimConnor13Tim what is the best side mount for the uv slider I’m about to order one just wanna know which one I should use mostly hunt Rocky Mountain muleys and elk get back to me when ya can
Thanks for the review
Thank you so much for this great video. Greetings from Germany
I see you Timmy!! Drop yours in there before ES. Keep up the great videos brother. Prayers for you.
Great review, great content. Loved it
My G!
That was a good video Tim, I really like the east you started this one.
Thanks my friend
That damn auto text will embarrass you every time 😂
Nice, looks like a great design
I bought an HHA king pin slider with a 3 pin head and another HHA sight with a single pin and lens for around the cost of this. I swap heads whenever I want to switch it up. I shoot three different arrows, so I have three different wheels for it, whenever I want to switch arrows, I just switch the wheel. There is no way this expensive UV site can come close to versatility I have in my HHA.
Looks like a great sight. Maybe on a competition 3d rig that sight would be right at home. I don't think I would want to bring a $600 sight into the woods in a high adrenaline situation like hunting. Who am I kidding... unfortunately $600 puts this sight well out of my price range. I'm still shooting my VXR 31.5 with Black Gold Ascent Verdict... prior to investing in that bow, I ran a Hoyt Intruder (circa 2002???) with a Pine Ridge Walmart Special 5 pin... it took me 2 years of hard saving when I decided to upgrade. I appreciate the video, Tim. Your humility gives you a genuinely trustworthy disposition. You come across as believable, and relatable. It was great to get to drool over a sight I'll probably never afford. As always, great content my friend. I pray success into your channel. I live in Port Orchard, WA. I would love to see you hit that 100k and shoot with you.
I like your reviews. You are fun to watch. On my Hoyt RX-7 Ultra using Axcel landslyde pictanny mount two up pins is my sight of choice.
Waiting on that Nevada hunt brother!! I think its a great idea if companies would put out a mid price sight.
Imagine the UV body with a Trek micro 3V housing ! That would be so nice. Really chill video Tim. Great review 🇦🇺
Can you buy the housing just by itself for the 3v. That would be awesome i was considering the Trek 3V but saw couple issues other have experienced, that have me questioning it now
What I'd love to see is a set of aluminium etched site tapes rather than paper tapes. Given the premium price point this seems like a reasonable thing. I'm not a fan of horizontal pins, so a vertical 3 pin option would be ideal. Probably very tricky to engineer to the same level of adjustment though.
They’re a high quality vinyl not paper!
Etched aluminum would be awesome for sure
The sight is clean, just worry UV is pushing up the price of the market. Probably all top manufacturers are going to be over 500 on the new sights now. New bows went from 1200 to 1500 and sights from 200-300 are going to be 500-600 now.
This is America 😂
No no no @Archer702 this is Bidens geriatric America and his influences w/ inflation. MAGA BABY!!!!!!!
I don't think UV is pushing the price up. To me I don't like it as I'm strictly hunting with my sight and would prefer an Option archery Canyon pounder probably before the UV.
It’s a crazy premium product, the rest of the market just can’t ask this for their products atm..
Bidenomics?
Ordered the UV slider, by chance is there a zero stop for the 20-40 yds? I know the 30 pin is fixed. so is there a scope adjustment for it or do you need to use the wheel to bring it up and down?
Mine showed up yesterday,looking forward to getting it set up. I do have a question in regard to the targets and backstops. Do you what material they used to make them, kinda looks like recycled mine belt? Anyway enjoy the video keep them coming😊
That's a lot of "laying in the mud" to pay for that sight. Great job putting the sight together without using the directions and I am glad to hear that your shooting is at a high level. You have put in the work.
I enjoy your videos more now than with elk shape are you two still homies though friendship is worth more than money would love a channel vs channel shoot off before hunting season kicks off
Would be cool if they offered a single pin/dual fixed pin option.
I am ruining the Redline Torch sight. So far it is a great sight. Running it in a Mathews Phase 4 bridge lock setup. It comes with aluminum tapes and paper for the 2 different locations. I believe it meets the challenge you mention of a manufacturer producing one with a lot of features at the mid price point. It is $300 and includes the rail. Has an integrated light that is rechargeable with 4 brightness settings. So far it is a solid sight.
Looks great. Can you have 2 x magnification lens on that?
I appreciate the sebenza
The deer can hear the wratchet sound at 40 yards. Being silent is deadly. I chose the Ultraview UV3 slider XL because you can take it off when it rains because I shoot with lenses. For me it was worth the money.
How cool would it have been if they would have made the windage knob match the elevation knob. I Love everything about this sight, other than I don't have one YET. Lol
Hey what vanes are those youre shooting? Ordered Tac vanes but those look interesting as well. Kinda pained me to go away from AAE
can this tke the regular vertical single or double UV pin cartridge not a fan of multi pin sights
Looks like a really nice sight but that price... that's insane. I don't see anything that would make me move away from my HHA Ryz. I love UV's stuff but OH BOY do they want a lot for it. They've managed to make the Arxos seem "economical" by comparison and there's things about the Arxos I MUCH prefer over the UV heads and sight (like the large pin-gap and option of a vertical 3-pin).
If they dropped the fancy packaging it would save us a $100. Sell the case separately if people want it.
Nice looking sight, but I still don't see anything to make me give up my Black Golds for a pure hunting setup! 😉
You forget about patents so many things can’t be added. Remember all other sights at that price don’t have scope or light on them, so the UV Slider is a killer deal.
Nobody has them in stock to ship or I would be dialing in a sight tape too!
I wish they had a single pin slider. I'll need a different sight as I can't use my Garmin traveling everywhere. Maybe v2?
Please adjust your bino harness straps lol dope video 🤙🏼
Lol bugs me too but that’s how the harness balances
Hey Tim nice sight! I'm more interested in your wrist strap though! What made you go with the stan over everyone else's goto, the spot hogg wise guy?
I made a video on it a few vids back! It’s a great wrist strap
looks like you're shooting better. that index seems to agree with you. UV sight is a home run, BUT, where's the single post version?
Elk shape is going to clock you shooting that Hoyt bruh!
What made you upgrade to Hoyt from the mathews? I personally like the useable design of the Hoyt bows and the fact that you don’t need to take the cams off to change the strings 🥳
I think I’ll make a vid about it
The grip is 100× better on the Hoyt and I much prefer the draw cycle over a Mathews. Jmo
The bottom line is it’s only two adjustable pins and the other ones are whatever they land on, very week design, 5 pin adjustable western big game or you should move to the East Coast and shoot whitetails and I stand in
You sight in with the fixed.. then adjust the variables
I don’t understand your complaint. You sight in thirty with the fixed pin. Move top and bottom to 20 and 40 respectively. Then use the sight tape/ slider to shoot past that.
I just dropped $600 for an Option canyon pounder. Unlike the UV slider, it really is innovative and built like a tank. I don't think there's a better hunting sight made.
I did the same
Same here, I'm a hunter the UV slider isn't innovative it's just like the dailed sight with some different adjustments.
Same here CP5
You can pound sand with your canyon pounder. The UV is WAY better. Lol
@@douglasvaughn9530 Sounds like we got a butthurt fanboy here.
160 with the bonus pin. What are the specs of the bow and the arrows?
Great Job Brother.. Look at you KILLING it, Did you kick Dans butt at Pickle Ball??
Lol!
It’s a really nice site, but for the price it’s missing a few things such as windage indicators. Chris Bee has mentioned they’re adding those onto them, but when? How do you make sure you’re not going to get stuck with one that doesn’t have them, especially given that they’re already sold out everywhere so you’d basically be ordering one blindly not even knowing when you’re going to get it.
What bely quiver dset up do you use?
I'm not trying to say this is wrong because you shoot good and consistent but is there a reason you lock your arm and don't keep some bend in your elbow?
20K!!!!!!
Let’s get it dude !
I'm confused how are you using diff pins at 120 or 130? Would you get more distance if you made your bottom bonus pin your slider pin?
I ordered one even though I have to wait until November to get it...🤷🏼♂️ Meanwhile I will hunt with my trophy ridge react pro.
Surprised to hear a channel actually say “If like to see a bare bones version, one that’s half the price”. Every channel I’ve watched that showcases this site speaks as if “if you can’t afford it, then just go to wal mart and get a site for the “poors”. And the comment sections are off the chain. “If you can’t afford it, then that’s on you, I want a new Denali but I can’t afford it, I’m not complaining that a Denali is too expensive “. Type comments. Season is almost here, anxious to see if my bow/arrow/broad head is expensive enough to kill a whitetail this year.
Get it dude!
What pound is your bow and whats your arrow weight?
"Maybe they can make a bare bones , cheaper version " next clip, talks about adding more features, that micro adjustment for the pins ...another $100 😂😂😂 just playin Tim keep up the good times brother!
Lol 😂
Can you do a arxos vs uv slider vid
can you get the sight without the scope so I could add maybe a spot hogg fast eddie scope?
You can just buy the sight and not the scope, but I don't know if there is any compatibility with spot hogg heads
Does anyone know what kind of black bear target that is at the 7:45 minute??
It’s a basic sight, the only boundaries they have pushed is the price.
Yeah I’ll stick with my cbe trek pro
You don’t pay a barber for the 10 min cut- you pay them because they do it right and don’t screw you over.
It’s called paying for quality lil bro
Honda's do most everything a Mercedes does...
I’ll say it on your video cause I think you will actually Listen pre videos models this scope hasn’t been able to be used left handed can u show us a left handed version or if there actually is one with the three plus one head
Sight tape 4???? What’s your arrow weight? Draw length?? Poundage???? FPS????
I’m glad they came out with this product….. but, as you said, the PRICE. No way will I consider it for that price
Great products. Unfortunately, the customer service is awful. Text or call, and no response. A large AZ group switched from their products for this reason.
W vid unc
Thanks neff 🙏
Did you cut the box open with a CRK sebenza? Let’s see the edc I have a zaan from crk
Twas
Nice sight but for $600 it should have micro adjust pins.
Maybe gen2
Don’t get me wrong, it is an impressive sight but at that price point it should have ALL the bells and whistles. I have the UV3XL 3 pin on a HHA Tetra Ryz that functions the same way for less. Just wish it had micro adjust for my less than precise fingers. 😂
Does it make you shoot more accurately compared to other sight
No but it did stretch my sight tape and the micro adjustments were simpler to make
Sexy, not gonna partake in it for 6hundy. I might as well go garmin. Good video bud!
The problem I see is once they get all the feedback they need to make another sight that is upgraded the price is gonna be even higher than the already rather steep price
For $600 you get to be VERY picky! I am sure the profit margins are huge on all of their products. I think they are now all about minimizing cost of manufacturing and maximizing for profit, that is capitalize. I liked the old UV1 with the swirl in the scope that was cool! I think they need to go back to their roots and get that cool factor back.
5:26 I didn't expect Joe Rogan to make an appearance... 🤯
You and elkshape been dropping a lot of similar content.
If you want a sight with "most" of the features but half the price, it's doable. However, it's going to have to be manufactured somewhere other than the United States. "Made in the USA" comes at a premium nowadays, and for good reason.
I don't know if they can claim Made in the USA since they utilize a global supply chain. Maybe assembled in the USA?
@@austintaylor497 Ultraview's website states "Designed and Built in the US", so their current line might not be manufactured here either. I'm hoping they will clarify at some point, because they're charging "made in America prices".
@@ajbholsters2035 Yeah that is what confused me also, so when I contacted them about where there products are made they told me that they utilized a global supply chain but wouldn't answer whether or not a manufacturer in China was one of their suppliers.
@@ajbholsters2035 I'm not too sure what happened to my other reply, but it was surprising to me to be told by them that they are outsourcing some of their manufacturing out of the country. I am not sure how much of it is being outsourced or what exact products contain parts that have been outsourced, but I do know that they did not give me an answer regarding if they are outsourcing to China.
@@austintaylor497 the most charitable explanation I can muster is the electronics are not manufactured here and have not been in the US for some time. So certain items have to be imported. The less-charitable part of me is thinking it's possible that they are having everything manufactured overseas and then assembling it here. I would love to get an answer on that, though I won't hold my breath.
That more that I paid for a new two year old flagship bow.
It’s pricey but everything is these days , I’m gonna put it on my LIFT when it gets here !!
Got it on my lift 29 thing is sweet
yea for 600 no thx my spot hogg works fine the site does look good im sure there will be some for sale used pretty soon plus I can see how they hold up on others bows for free
Haven’t had to adjust your 3rd axis cause you aren’t shooting at enough angle
Def not worth 600$!!! Too many other good options out there with scopes, a lens and more adjustability. I’ve been a UV fan from the get go starting with their 3-D printed funky fingers and knobs; I just can’t justify paying 50% more for what you can buy an equal or better product. 🤷🏽♂️
This thing looks awesome. People are complaining about the cost, but this is the most compact, full feature sight available. My only complaint would be, for $600, the pins should be micro adjust. Other than that, it looks amazing.
Yeah at the upper tier price points theres always going to be some backlash.. but for a gen 1 product they did a really good job
Want a bare bones sight without the features for half price, but could add mico clicks please for each pin … 😂
Great sight, but not worth the money. Other sight brands are making a product that does everything UV’s does for 300-400. UV’s does a great job with the aesthetics and packaging of their product, but that’s not worth an extra $200 for me.
Spot hogs for example
Eh, I don’t agree my guy. The case alone has to be worth $50 for storage right? Spot Hogg doesn’t have a good case.
@@SomeGuyFromOK my point is that I don’t at all value the aesthetics of the case
@@SomeGuyFromOKscrew that case man
I don't know man, looks like an influencer only sight. Price and shipping dates kinda confirm it at this point.
I don't see any 'boundary' the UV Slider pushed other than cost. The 3 pin UV is not as good as HHA 4 pin (I don't like the immobile middle pin), and HHA's tapes and wheels (removal) are better than UV. Without owning one or seeing it in person (which I don't think really matters since I have a UV3XL and I can see the features on video), I rate the innovation a B-.
Fuse archery just quit making their Flywheel sights. 250$ and the only things it can't do compared to this is swap tapes, no picatinny mount, and only .019 pins. I'm having a hard time justifying swapping it out
Still missing bullseye with UV
Turns out I am not perfect
What is the purpose of a slider sight that’s multi pin ? So I am guessing you just set the first 3 pins 20/30/40 and then the bottom pin is a rover ?
Price is the a major down fall damn that is high
I disagree with you on having a dumbed down version of this site. This site is what will push manufacturers to do better. There’s no reason to make a cheaper version that isn’t as good as this one, that’s what sets UV apart. I can’t afford it, it would cost me more than my bow… but if I could I’d be getting it.
Buy an affordable archery sight & give the extra money to charity. I'm not saying this sight isn't worth $600. It just doesn't offer any features I want in a hunting sight (other than I like a level on my sight).
Maybe they could make it more affordable if they made a plastic version instead of the premium materials used…. Oh wait.
Just cause it cost 600$ doesn’t put it in the best category it’s only getting so many looks is because Chris bee
That’s not true.. you should get your hands on one before you judge it
You're talking about one of his fellow influencers now, you better watch out 😂
A $100 for the packaging.
It’s a lot of money but the scope on the sight justifies it. Nobody comes close to the features on the scope, then build a sight that takes advantage of those features.
For $600 bucks the sight better laser range and adjust itself
Mine rattles a lot anyone else ?
Bare bones but with the features 🤦🏻♂️😂
$600 hard pass...its just a sight
600??? UMMMM NO....
That sight isn't worth 600.00. Maybe 250.00 at best. Ok its carbon. Being 3d printed supposed to lower prices. Not with this company. A 40 dollar sight will shoot just as good.
