Default Sight Pin Size

I am fairly new to archery and I'm just curious to know what sight pin size most of you hunters use .019 or .029.

I've been shooting a Cobra TR with .029 sights for about 4 months now. It looked great at first but now that I have more experience shooting, it seems like the the pins are looking larger to me.

I just picked up a new Redhead Kryptik 3 pin sight and it has the .019 pins. I like the smaller pins as it gives you more target to view.

I like smaller pins, like blake said, aim small miss small. I run a .019 on my first pin and then .010 for other 3 pins. IMHO, .029's are too big.

I use .010 and .019. .029 is like a bowling ball compared to the others, covers up your target especially at farther yardage.
