What sight to buy

I am looking for some suggestions on a new sight for my new bow. I like the one pin sights, and am looking for the brightest one I can find. And what size pin should I get?

Look at the HHA Optimizers they are really bright and well made.

HHA is a very good pin, Tru glow makes a good, bright pin as well.

I'm a fan of the Vital Gear Star Track, because it has fibre optic, adjustable yardage markers along it's track. It's got a big thumb tab that's easy to grab, even w/ gloves on. In fact, I have a used one I would sell you if you're interested. It's 2 years old and does have 1 of the yardage marker fibres broken, but it still works extremely well. It's in a .029 pin. The only downside to it is, you need to leave an arrow or 2 out of your quiver to be able to reach the thumb tab. So I went to the woods w/ 4 arrows instead of 6......

If you'll be using it mainly for hunting, I would go w/ a .029 pin, to gather as much light as possible. .019 would work well too, just not as bright at dawn and dusk.

I shoot the tru glow sight with the tritium pin, which glows in the dark. I love the sight its inexpensive and you dont have to worry about not being able to see the pin on those late shots. I dont like using a lighted sight because i find them to be too bright and glow too big but the tritium pin does not.
