Help Me Pick A Sight

Jason McCurry · 02-20-2003, 01:34 PM

I need a new sight to go on my Legacy. I' ve been shooting a while with my Cobra Brite-Eye sight (Wal-Mart clearance for $3) while I decide what I really want in a sight. I am primarily going to hunt with my bow, and I intend to shoot spots and eventually 3D to be better for bowhunting. Right now, I' m thinking that I would like either a 3 or 5-pin sight with small-diameter fiber optic pins (.019 probably), but have those pins very bright for their size. I don' t really need a circular pin guard, as I use a No Peep instead of a peep sight. Because of the No Peep, though, I would like for the sight to have a little more adjustment room to the left than my crappy Cobra does now. I' m only about 3/16" away from the pin guard now when sighted in. I would also prefer to have a level on the sight, but it' s not absolutely necessary since I have the No Peep. Same with camo, preferable but not necessary.

Anyone know of a sight that suits my needs? The most important feature is precise, very bright pins.

Thanks!

Jason, I would highly recommend the Spot-Hogg line of sights. They are tough as nails, micro-adjustable, and you can get them with the .019" pins.

I have a Impact Archery Collector for sale. Very small and super bright pins. Like new in package w/ blue light.

I like the looks of that Collector sight, but we can' t hunt with any " electronic devices" on our bows here in WA state and I' m pretty sure that blue light would make it illegal.

Jason.
I just sent you a PM

Jason McCurry · 02-20-2003, 03:55 PM

Got it and responded, Ausie-guy. Anyone else got any suggestions?

I have had an archers choice Ace for several years and love it. I have run into no problems seeing the pins at dawn/dusk. I dont know the measurements of the pins, but they are small. You can add a bubble level or small light if you want. Just my .02

Of the 3 sites I have, the Cobra 3 pin I have uses the TKO pins is my favorite and extremely brite.

I added 2 pins to it.
My bottom pin is 70 yards out. My top pin is at 20, with aluminum arrows. With carbon arrows my bottom pin is farther then I want to shoot.

I like to see how far away I can get and still hit my mark.
I can see just which direction needs fine tuning on my site, the farther from the target I get.

I just recently ordered a Spott-Hogg, thanks to some
suggestions I received here

. At least for now, I' m
going to leave my Montana Black Gold(Grand Slam)
on my second bow. If you' re not in need of a circular
pin guard, this is a great sight for hunting. Calibrated
adjustments, durable, and bright pins.

I put an Impact Archery Cosmic (same sight - different bracket than the Collector) on my Legacy this Fall, I don' t think I' ll take it off for awhile.
