Default SIght Question

Hello everyone! I'm new here, and new to the sport of bowhunting. I used to shoot archery seriously back in my boyscout days, but nothing in the last 20 odd years.

Anyway, I purchased a good quality Hoyt Raider compound bow last weekend for a really good deal. I know it's not the newest fanciest thing on the market, but it's a solid bow and it's killed some bucks.

It has an old North American Archery sight on it that is made out of plastic, and the screws that hold the pins tight are stripped and won't allow the sight pins to fully tighten.

Needless to say I'm in the market for a new sight, and I'm kind of overwhelmed. I'm looking for a good quality sight that ultimately I can transfer to a newer bow once I get some shooting time under my belt.

I'm wondering if one actually needs micro adjust for windage and elevation on a sight? How useful is this?

I'm currenly looking at the Cobra Python with micro adjust, BP has it for $129.99 currently, and while that's more than I paid for my whole setup, I think a sight of this quality will transfer to any new bow I purchase.

I'm just worried that I'm being drawn in by gimmicks and tech lust for gadgets.

What say you?
