HHA sports has been stirring things up in the outdoor industry for over 30 years. The last 14 years have found them at the top of the food chain when it comes to single pin sight technology. Their Optimizer line of bow sights are American made and have been the choice of champions, both on the line and in the woods, for years. For 2019, HHA built on their extensive line of sights with the addition of the Optimizer Tetra Dovetail sight. The Tetra sight, introduced in 2018 with a hunting sight version, represents the 4th generation of HHA’s renowned Optimizer Series single pin sights. Here’s a closer look at what you’ll find with this slick new sight in our HHA Tetra Dovetail bow sight review.
The HHA Tetra Dovetail bow sight is a welcomed addition to the Optimizer Series.

Full 2nd and 3rd axis adjustment and compatible with a comprehensive line of accessories, the Tetra series is quickly becoming one of the most versatile sights on the market.
Out of the Box

Mounting the sight to your bow is quick and simple. You just screw the base into place on the riser. Slide the dovetail onto the base and then add the scope that slides into place with a unique t-post design for the ultimate in quick and easy adjustments to your sight.

HHA Tetra Dovetail Bow Sight Review – Conclusion
The Tetra bow sight isn’t quite as feature packed as its big brother, the King Pin. The biggest difference being that the King Pin offers a removable yardage wheel for the shooter wanting to swap out wheels for varying arrow setups. The Tetra is a fixed wheel. However, this tightened up Tetra sight comes in lighter, simpler and at a price that’s considerably more affordable than what you’ll find when you jump up to the King Pin. The Tetra starts at $269.99 compared to the King Pin’s starting price at $379.99.
