Default Copper John Dead Nuts Pro

I really like my CJ-DN-P but unfortunately the pins are not bright enough for my 67 year old eyes to easily see.
I have been thinking of doing some custom fiber optic modifications but this afternoon decided that it may be best for me to get a different sight all together.
My pro shop is recommending the Toxonics K9 HD.
I am interested in finding any users that have used this sight and gettingsome narrative of their experiences with it.

I have the same site and although my eyesare a few years behind you I'm starting to have vision problems. I heard that CP was in the process of making some up grades and it's possible that the new brighter pins will fit the old one.Just a thought. I heard they will be out in November.

Don't know anything about the other site.

You might try the larger pins. They are much brighter than the small pins.

Get the new Skylight by Black Gold. You can see them pins in the dark, no kidding.

I just went through all this sight deal with my latest Tribute purchase. The Black Gold Radiant with skycoil technology is the brightest I have seen. Awesome sight and provides brightness through legal shooting time. I have the one in camo. $70.00 Sportsman's Whse. www.blackgoldsights.com HCH

If you want bright, then look at the Vital Gear or HHA sights.
