Black Gold Ascent Verdict 4" Dovetail 5 Pin HD Head Scope .019 RH

The Black Gold Ascent Verdict 4" Dovetail 5 Pin HD Head Scope is a right-handed compound bow sight built for hunters who need reliable pin visibility across changing light conditions and the ability to dial in multiple yardages fast. This is a hunter's sight—it combines precision adjustment with practical features that work in the field, from dawn setups to late-season sits.

The Verdict's standout feature is its PhotoChromatic shell, which automatically adapts pin brightness to your hunting environment. That means your .019 Micro Groove pins stay visible and clear whether you're shooting in open prairie light or timber shadows, without fumbling with brightness adjustments mid-draw. The five pins give you the spread you need for varied distances without cluttering your sight picture.

Adjustment and setup are straightforward. The 3rd axis adjustment is micro-adjustable for fine-tuning, while 1st and 2nd axis adjustments use standard adjustment for solid, repeatable bow-to-sight alignment. The Dial of Death feature is where the Verdict earns its name: dial to pre-determined yardages, and a single indicator needle tells you instantly which pin to use. With 54 included sight tapes, you can dial in for virtually any bow setup and yardage combination. The 1.75-inch housing keeps everything compact without sacrificing pin spread, and at 9.7–9.4 oz, weight stays reasonable on your rig.

If you're shooting a compound with a 4" dovetail mount and want a sight that handles low-light hunting without constant tinkering, the Ascent Verdict is a serious choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this sight compatible with my compound bow?

The Ascent Verdict is designed for bows with a 4" dovetail mount. Check your bow's mounting system before ordering. If your bow uses a different mount style (such as X-Frame), this sight is not the right fit.

What's the difference between the .019 pins and larger pins?

The .019 Micro Groove pins provide a very fine aiming point with minimal obstruction of your target. This makes them popular for hunting at moderate to longer distances where precision matters. If you prefer a bolder, easier-to-see pin, you may want to consider a larger pin diameter.

How does the Dial of Death feature work?

You pre-dial your sight to the yardages you're hunting (e.g., 20, 30, 40, 50 yards). Once set, a single indicator needle shows you which pin to use for your shot distance. This lets you dial yardage adjustments without moving the entire sight housing, keeping your setup consistent and your shots fast.

Do the sight tapes come with the sight?

Yes, 54 sight tapes are included. These allow you to customize the Dial of Death for your specific bow, arrow, and broadhead combination.
