I prefer barebow. When I do use a sight, which is only for target or 3D, the pins have to be at least .019 becausemy eyes aregetting old andthat's the smallest I can go and still see the pin.[&:]

I have used .029, .019, & .010 I only use a rear adjustable HHA sight anymore, and the .019 works best for me and my eyes. It's really a personal thing and depends on your style of shooting as well as your eyes. I have customers that prefer .039

Dan, sometimes I feel like my fiberoptic is a little too fat, it seems I pay nore attention to the pin than where Im aiming, or the pin is all I see.

That can happen and also the brightness can affect your focus. I think the key is to use the smallest pin you can see clearly and it should be no brighter than necessary. On a bright day I choke the fiber optics completely down on my HHA sight.

I just went from 29mm to 19mm due to the fact Iam sighting in 20-30-40-50-60 yrds and the 29's were to big past 40 for me(its a eye thing or age)....and the 10's might be too small for me.....All my other sites were set at 20-30-40 and thats it,been like that for 24yrs.....Now on my 25th year needed to change afew things...
