i tried the truglos because they were cheap and they gave good light. but they fell apart after a couple years. i now am using a black gold sight and i got to say its pretty nice for the money. lifetime warranty, the fiber optics are protected. the only part i dont like is the wheels used to move the pins they vibrate a little bit but havent seemed to bother any game yet. prtty solid

I use the 5 pin PSE.I checked it in low light well past legal hours and I could still see the pins easily.It costs about 50 bucks.

well, I hate sights that do not give you micro adjustments, there for I have to say Trophy Ridge - Micro Alpha. Nothing more frustrating to me than trying to micro adjust a standard sight and have it move an inch on ya and then you gotta start almost all over.

I believe the Twilight Hunter to be the best bang for the buck.

All metal construction, great CNC work, great customer service.

That being said, I got a Spot Hog 3 pin Hunter this summer doing some trading.

If you can afford one, definitely take a look at one.

A truly impressive machine !

My redhead is by far the brightest sight i have ever had.... went to bass pro to buy a sight and compared all the pins to each other... and the cheapest one was the brightest.
