I have an illuminated Sword with .019" pins. It is extremely bright even with the small diam. fiber pins. My advice.. cut all the fibers except the 20 yd pin fiber. If you don't and you try to shoot in a minimum light environment it will look like a stop light on your bow- too many lights/ reduced background visibility. Besides, if it is that dark to need illuminated pins you won't see further than 20 yds anyway.

As far as weight.. it is a little heavy but extends further out and away from the riser which has a stabilizing effect.
