If your trying to keep weight down the AXT is a great option but expensive.

I'm old fashion but I have been shooting Montana Black Gold sights for years. Not the newest or fanciest be they work well for me.

Spott Hogg is where my money is at. Built like a mack truck, and you can get them in a various number of pins...easy to adjust and stay there when you do get them dialed in. Just one man's opinion though!

Where did you buy your Hoyt CE, how long before you get it? Looking for a bow now, narrowed it down to Hoyt

G5 5 pin sight. Not the most expensive one out there, but works for me.
Early to bed, early to rise, hunt all day and make up lies.

Just a word of caution on the Spott Hoggs while they are great sights some of them can and will get a bit heavy when on a bow. IE Tommy Hogg, Boss Hogg, Hogg Father.

Right those are a bit on the heavy side, the Hogg-it what I use is 9oz, the Hunter is 6.8oz, the Real Deal is 6.3oz, the Right On is 5.8oz. There are a lot of good sights, that are good on the market, in so many different prices. It's what you like and can afford.

Where did you buy your Hoyt CE, how long before you get it? Looking for a bow now, narrowed it down to Hoyt I just bought a carbon element from native outdoors. They did an awesome job setting it up. I'm getting 3 to 4 inch groups at 70 yards.

Axcel, sword, copper john, or montana black gold. Montanas are probably one of the best, if not the best out there. Just not as well known as a spot hogg, but made just as strong, and the only company to have pins that dont halo.

They are noisy and your limiting yourself to 30-35 yards, unless it is locked down. General concensus on them is they are pretty good target sights, lousy hunting sights.

Do you want single pin?
I'd look into Trijicon's Accupin or HHA.
If you want multi pin set up, look in the Spot Hogg or Axel Amortech.
I agree with Chuck on the Pendulum.
Those are noisy.
