I was kind of wondering what you talking about Field. I was not talking about a Red Dot sight, I actually think they work pretty well for hunting and have used one. I was talking about using a 4 power target style scope that requires a small peep or clarifier to work properly. I'm sure some are pretty sturdy, but I don't know if I would trust it.

Most people that use a red dot end up using one of the BSA's on an aluminum mount of some sort and the weight is up there compared to a regular 3 pin sight. They do make much lighter red dots and mounts, however they will cost you as well. I seem to have pretty good luck with a 30 dollar rugged 3 pin sights when hunting. Never bent or broke a pin yet, and my bow fell out a tree once.
