Default RE: sights

I agree with NUBO in that the Spot-Hogg is a really well made sight but just not bright enough for hunting. I have a Real Deal on my 3D bow. It works well for that. Those deer ain't gonna move in the dark.

I do take exception to the Impact sights and many others. I've been through all these things and one thing I have found is that plastic has no business on a sight. Drop your bow from a tree some day and find out. Plastic is for making toys. To that end I would look at sights with all-metal construction. My favorite so far is the HHA OL-5000 or 5500. This is a single pin-moveable sight that does not get moved for hunting. I set it for 25 yards and leave it alone. It's very bright, very rugged, and has micro-adjust for windage.
If you're more into a multipin sight then Cobra Sidewinder series are really nice. And they have a new one out for 2005 that has my interest. Worth a look and good prices considering that many sights with plastic cost near as much.

NO, for this guy plastic stuff is the junk of the industry. I've learned a little bit in over 30 years of archery. One thing I've learned is to buy very good accessiries. They will move to the next bow when I upgrade, and give less problems along the way.
