I' m not sure what you' re nervous about. I don' t think the pin is so bright it will scare the deer away, but I suppose it could. If it does scare them, just get your deer to wear shades.[8D] I went from 3 to 2 and now one pin and will never go back. The only fault I see with the Cosmic is the pin is a little large for real tight shooting, but shouldn' t be any problem for deer at 30 yards. I like mine! Jim
