Default RE: When it gets dark....

ORIGINAL: Rob/PA Bowyer

Are you saying you can't see the pins or you couldn't see the target through the pins...While hunting, I've still been able to see my pins when it was too dark to shoot the animal....those were nothing special sights...well, Hoyts MicroElite's but they had Truglo pins in them....

My new Viper Predator Pro MT is very, very bright, I'm almost complaining too bright in good light, the pins almost halo. I put a hood on and they are perfect...I almost want .010 pins, they are all .019's now. .029 are just too large for small targets.
Sorry if I was unclear. I can not see the target while at full draw with the light on or off. I took all my other pins off the sight leaving one and still had the same results. I was hoping that would allow eliminate the glow and allow me to see.

Maybe it was getting too dark.[&:]

Do what Len did to mine and his. He just blackened the bulb with a black magic marker. It toned the light and the pins down. and like everyone says, use a big peep hole.
Good idea!!
