I didn't find them all that bright either.

The one that I have looked had the progressively shrinking diameter pins and none of them were the same length.

If this one is a fair representation of their sights I think they will have some work ahead of them still to work out some bugs and flaws.

I wasn't that impressed at all.

Not impressed either. Good sight none the less. I chose the Viper Predator Pro-MT....besides, normal fiber optic pins from the begining are bright enough. I've been able to see my pins when it's too dark to see the animal.

are sword and extreme made by the same people? which company was around first. It looks to me that their sights are nearly the same.

Sword started as a component manufacturer for companies like Extreme and Tru-Glo. Mainly mfg'd the pin assemblies plus fiber-optic rifle sights. They started building sights on a small scale, and broke into the market at the ATA Show in '05. They have a large variety of sights of varying prices and performance. The Twilight hunter has extended unbreakable fiber-optics and is the brightest of the sights they offer.
