Default RE: What did you look for in a sight?

My 2 Hogg-it's have 2nd, 3rd axis, gang adjustment and then micro adjustment for each pin.
Dang, Aussie! Did'ja get an operator's manual with those things?[:-][8D]

I've always hated sights on a hunting bow, but used them for target and 3D. Before I quit using sights altogether, I thought the Archers Choice Grizzly was almost the perfect sight. Simple, all metal, rugged, bright pins and it held zero very well. Buying and installing two extra pins in the Grizzly to make it a 5-pin sight, that made it perfect.

Really though, I truly do hate having sights on a hunting bow. Dim light isn't the only time I've had trouble trying to see an animal on the other side of my pins. I've had drizzle freeze in my peep and kept me from getting a shot. I've drawn up to find a pin missing. The problem of not being able to see clearly past the pins in less than ideal lighting conditions is enough of a drawback, in itself, to keep me from hunting with sights. The other little 'inconveniences' just added fuel to the fire.

Yes, I've got to shoot and practice a little more in order to maintain my proficiency but what's the problem in that? I actually LIKE shooting bows.
