Black Gold Widow Maker Micro-Adjustable 5-Pin Hunting Sight

Patented PhotoChromatic Clarity. Inch-Wheel Micro-Adjustments. Bombproof Montana Craftsmanship.

When you are slipping through the thick cedar pockets and damp timber of North Idaho, you need a sight that is completely set-and-forget. The Black Gold Widow Maker is engineered for the hardcore bowhunter who wants the fail-proof reassurance of a traditional fixed-pin setup but demands target-grade micro-adjustability and the toughest build quality on the market. 100% machined and hand-assembled in Bozeman, Montana, Black Gold sights are widely recognized as the brightest and most durable hunting sights on the planet.

The standout feature of the Widow Maker is Black Gold’s patented PhotoChromatic technology. Say goodbye to fuzzy, blurry, or “starbursting” pins in the middle of a sunny alpine basin. The top shell automatically turns purple in full sunlight, filtering out excess UV rays to keep your pins perfectly sharp and crisp. When you drop back down into dense cover or hunt during prime legal light, the shell turns clear, flooding the pins with every available ounce of ambient light.

Key Features & Backcountry Benefits

• Patented PhotoChromatic Shell: Automatically manages pin brightness for you. The shell transitions from clear to dark purple depending on UV intensity, ensuring your pins are needle-sharp in blinding midday sun and brilliantly bright at dawn and dusk.

• Inch-Wheel Micro-Gang Adjustments: Sighting in your core groupings is fast and incredibly precise. The Widow Maker features Black Gold’s signature Inch-Wheel micro-drive system for horizontal windage and vertical elevation, allowing you to make granular visual corrections entirely by hand without altering individual pin heights.

• Bombproof One-Piece Micro-Groove Pins: Built to withstand brutal field abuse. Each horizontal pin is machined from a solid, one-piece block of aluminum. Your ultra-bright .019” fiber optics are completely encased in a protective metal channel, preventing snagging brush or rough pack-ins from snapping a fiber.

• Heavy-Duty 2” Machined Guard: Maximum protection for your sight picture. The rugged, oversized 2-inch guard is carved from aircraft-grade aluminum, shielding your pins from hard drops while giving you a wide, highly visible field of view.

• Standard Adjustable 2nd Axis Leveling: Erase long-range accuracy decay. The Widow Maker features a large, high-visibility bubble level built directly into a micro-adjustable second-axis block, ensuring your housing stays perfectly plumb to your bow riser.

• High-Contrast Fluorescent Alignment Ring: The scope housing is wrapped in a bold, fluorescent alignment ring. This makes it incredibly natural to center the sight housing perfectly within your peep sight, ensuring a flawless, repeatable anchor point in low light.
