Default Smallest fiber pin?

I just replied to a post on this forum about my favorite single pin site(mine is impact archery's cosmic)Anyhow I was just wondering if there are fiber pins out there that are really small yet bright.I would think that the smaller pin would work great at really long distances(for practice)The .030 pins out there cover a 3"bull out at 40 yards or better.Just wondering what company makes such a sigtht,or if many do.I dont shoot competition or anything but do practice out to 60 yards in the off season,it seams to help me a bunch.Also even though my cosmic sight is bright,it can be to bright for low light ,where you get a halo affect ,I think a smaller bright pin would be ideal.I agree there is alot made of bright pins,but if you hunt darker forrest cannopies,or from ground blinds, such as the double bull's the bright pins are the cats meow.Thanks for any replies.Bill D>

i have a cobra view master deluxe pendulum. super bright pin. i believe that it is a .19 pin if they make one. it is lots smaller than my savage sight. im not for sure though and it doesnt say on the package that it came in. nice pin. i would check the easy slide by cobra since u probably want an adjustable pin. contact them and ask them for specs.

If you like the Impact Archery Cosmic I'm pretty sure in their catalog you can order it with .30 or .19 fiber pins. For some reason every shop I see them in orders .30.

Good Luck!

Put the pins on the sight that suit the range you are shooting at. I have a 5 pin copper john sight and, for my close range pins I use the 30s but for the long range pins (40, 50, and 60 yards), I swapped them out and installed the 19s. This works great for me since I use the same sight for hunting and 3-D (rookie).
