Default RE: Question on bow sights (see a pic of my new bow)

Hey Reflex03,that is a nice sight from Tru-Glo. It's a bigger better upgraded version of mine.

See the elevation allen screw? I'm afraid to move that one on mine.... it's too corroded and stuck. I was able to move the windage allen screw (had to use force) and heard it go "pop" whenit broke free.

....sigh... I am going to stick with the 20 yard pin and just practice with that, while I shop for new sights.

Speaking of sights, bows, arrow velocity, quantum physics... I am coming up to speed rapidly from 10 years (1996 PSE bow to a 2006 Reflex Highlander). All I can say is HOLY SMOKES, WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!!

See, I am used to flying a 486 grain XX75 (flying tire iron) to where the arrow lobs out there like a football out of a heavy, slow, dual cam bow. Sort of like:
Doink! {you pressed the release}
...watch the arrow as it sails out to max 40 yards
...wait for it
...wait for it
Thwack! {arrow finally hits target}

Now with the new Reflex Highlander (305fps IBO rating):
5 yard, 10 yard, 20 yard are all covered by one pin.
Doink...Twack! {instantaneous sound from release and arrow hitting target}

Here is a bow sight that caught my eye.... Trophy Ridge Mantis pendulum sight from Cabela's. I hunt out of a tree stand and don't take shots over 30-35 yards anyway. This sight would cover everything.
