Default RE: Extreme sight problem

I have a Sword illuminated 4 pin .019 sight. I had a deer come in at 15 yds and I couldn't see my pin. I turned the sight on and drew back again and it looked like I had a traffic light in the blind with me. Couldn't see anything but the pins. I went back to the lodge and cut all the fiber optic cables except the 20 yd pin, now it works great. I suggest anyone using a multi pin illuminated sight to consider doing the same. The other pins aren't an issue when shooting at Dart systems but in a dark blind with little ambient light anda dark target it blinds you. Why you need a 30 or further yd pin illuminated makes no sense to me. At 20 you can still place a confident shot, at 30 or 40 yds it's hard to determine what it is you are shooting at in low light.

How do you like your 09 Admiral? I have one as well and absolutely love it. Trying to go back to rest from full draw is a littleaggressive once the let-off decreases. But for the speed and silence of the bow I will gladly deal with it.
