There' s not even any comparison. The night hawk pin will glow in ABSOLUTE darkness. You can take the nighthawk pin into a room with no windows and put a towel under the door so no light comes through the cracks and still see it just fine. However, I did have a buddy buy one last year from bass pro that didn' t glow like it should have. So have them show it to you in a dark place before you buy. If you get a good one you will be able to see the pin long after you will be able to see a deer or hog for that matter. Good shooting!
