Side question... Is that the only model with those small diameter pins?

I ordered mine with the following from Scott & Sons Archery.

.019 green
.010 red

You can go with all .010 pins or any combination you like.

I use a cobra sidewinder with 5 pins .019 on an adjustable slider but my cousin has the SH and I love shooting his bow I just don`t want to spend that kind of money.

Blue pin is great, plenty bright during the day and no halo. When the light is on, it fires up great as well. The main reason I did it that way was that as the light fades, the blue is one of the first to go, I figured if that was on my 60yd pin then it would help keep me from making a shot that I shouldn't.

This is my Sword Apex. My twilight hunter is still on order. I went with yellow for the 4th pin on this one. This pic is with the light at the low setting.
