Default Choosing a new sight

I have been shooting with the Xtreme sight, with four pins. I want to get a new sight, that is not as crappy as the Xtreme (Why oh why did I buy a $120 P.o.S.

Anyone have any recomendations on a sight?

I went into my bow shop and they only had 4 brands. So I would like to do more research before I buy one.

thanks

There is a reason that Spot-Hoggs are considered the standard by which all others are compared! They raised and then set the bar for rugged dependability and brightness. Top of the line sights! Take a serious look at their line-up.

I love Viper's line. IMHO, they are best all around sight on the market. Very tough, very bright and work well both in the stand and on a 3D course. They come threaded so you can use glass with them on the 3D course and then simply screw the glass out and climb in a stand. Take a real look at them, they make a great sight.

The viper is almost the same as the xtreme. not buying anything that compares to the extreme.
