I personally like Tru Glow Extreme sights. They have a new one out that has micro adjust and camo. Mine has lasted for over 2 years and I am a little rough on equipment. You might want to check out some toxonics too -- great sights. I'm sure Black Stick will chime on about the more fancy sights, that is his department.

I'm very pleased with the toughness of Montana Black Gold sights and pins, I have also shot my buddies bow with cobra and was very impressed with how bright they were. Two very good sights IMO

I think that Spot Hogg is overpriced and you can get the same number of pins, birghtness, and a level with a different sight for less. Cobra makes a great multi pin sight called the boomslang. I'd get the 5 pin version. You'd like that a lot.

Personally, I use the HHA Optimizer-Lite Ultra DS-XL5519. I would only recommend this sight if you shot a lot of 3D. Shooting 3D with this sight will get you used to adjusting it for the yardages. If you are not used to adjusting it, you will forget to do it in the stand. Still, as far as single pins go, HHA makes the best.

I figured he would say something like that. I have heard great things about HHA. BEWARE: I have heard that the bolts rust rather easily -- seen several cases of it on AT. Don't let this deter you because HHA has had great cust. service and supposedly replaces the bolts or the sights quickly. Also a little bit of grease/oil helps a lot too i hear.

I have only had mine for 3 months and the bolds are already rusting. I do not like that at all. I am looking for some stainless steel or aluminum ones to replace the stock ones before I send it in to get camoflaged. I am not going to grease my sight. It probably works, but I am just not going to do that.

The HHA Brushfire is a great multi pin sight that is just as good as the boomslang. You would like both of those.

They are about the same price. When you compare the 4 pin boomslang to the 4 pin brushfire. IMO, they are both equally good, but I like my HHA so much that I would probably go with the brushfire.

The Boomslang is the first one and the brushfire is the second one.
