Default Sight help?

I know this questions has been asked about fifty seven hundred times because I have been reading all of them.

I am trying to decide on a new sight for my TomKat. I want a single pin sight which needs to have great fiber optics as most of the deer I see are coming out right at daylight or right at dark.

I would like to hear some opinions both good and bad on the sights that you use on your bow. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for this question StrutN. I also shoot a Tomkat and although I have no problem with the factory sight, I have also been thinking of going to a more adjustable, single pin sight.

I'm a huuuuuuuuge fan of impact archery.

http://www.impactarchery.com/products.html

I use one of their fixed pin so I'm not sure how this would apply to you...
Pros:
-bright as can be
-many of their models have pins ENTIRELY coated in steel so they don't get ripped away by thorns and the like. (my impact sight(3 fixed pin) was $52, the only other completely coated sights I've seen are on sights running over $100)

Cons:
-Their sights are hard to find in retail stores, I was lucky finding them to view the product line before I purchased one.

Thanks for the replies so far.

From reading most of the threads here I know that HHA, Sword, and Extreme are probably the most popular.
