Jay,
Sorry to pick, but try a period at the end of your sentences. It'll make things a bit easier to read. Just trying to be helpful.
I got one of those dumb sights, too. It's about as good as it gets. Don't have the lens, though. I don't think you'll like it for hunting, but it can help for target and 3D. I assume you have the OL-5000. Built like a tank. As you said, a bit pricey, but withe it's ruggedness and lifetime warranty you should not need a new one for a very long time. Also you get what you pay for. I always buy very good accessories. They move fro bow to bow over the years.
Good luck with it.
