how many pins ,
vertical or horizontal pins ,

Well since you are already familiar with the G5 ME....Just step up into the G5 Optics LE. http://www.outdoorsexperience.com/g5optixle.htmlThis is my second year (season) with this sight and to tell you the truth I love it...

Just my .02

Can't really help you man. I'm in the same boat. I've looked at them all a million times. Now I'm leaning toward a pendulum which is a whole nother' ball park. If you get some good info let me know. lol

Matey,

I think you have a seeing problem! Why are you asking us blokes a question like that when there's a hottie at Basspro that knows more about sights than any of us? I think she's turned your brain into mush...

Keli will take care of you!

Save your money for 2010....

Bigpapa,
I have used a Savage pendulum (inexpensive) for about 8-9 years now and I like it. It works great but you need to setup on ground that is fairly level for it to be right on accurate. I sighted mine in at 20 yds on the ground and is good out to 30 yds. in the tree. Used first on a PSE Thunderflite and now an Outback.

I would recomendany of the sights from Vital Bow Gear they are the brightest strongest sights on the market. I use the starbright which is a single pin with an adjustment on the back of it for all your settings.. It is the only sight I will ever use..Walt

I have to get a new sight with smaller pins. I am having trouble placing my 30 yard pin as it seems to take up the whole target when I look at it. I am going to look into new sights.

Hey Walt, how do you work your single pin sight? Do you just set it at 25 yards or something and adjust accordingly on your shots? Any info would be appreciate as I am a simple guy when it comes to bowhunting. I already took off my peep sight years ago and if I can eliminate a couple of my pins that would be great.

I use a Spot-Hogg Hogg-It with five .19 pins. It also has the Hogg-Wrap and a light. Gang adjustments are a breeze although individual pins are a bit tricky. This is one tough, tough site. Rock solid andbright pins. This ones a keeper!

I'm with txjourneyman...I rock spot-hogg. I have the wrapped Real Deal and absolutely love it. Definitely go with 0.19 pins though. Worth the price.

I use the Sword Accu-Site with .10 pins and coldn't be happier. It took some practice to get used to the tiny pins, but now that I've gotten accustomed to them, I'll never go back
