Default Copper John extended fiber optic modification

Has anyone here ever added extended fibers to a Copper John hunter sight? If so how hard was it to do and how well did it work out for you? I was thinking about trying this and have the fibers on hand to do it with.

Also if anyone has some pins for these sights that have broken fibers and want to get rid of them please contact me. I prefer the .029 pins but have .019 fibers also. The small dots are a little tough for these old eyes thus the desire for brighter pins.I hate to cut perfectly good fibers out just to tinker and experiment.

Thanks Tommy

Check out Fitzfibers.com and look at what they've done to get some ideas.

i will trade you .29 for .19 . and yes first thing i do is put better fiber in the pins. I love CJ i use a antz for 3-d & hunter for hunting but their fiber is pretty sad.
