My needs are much like adams'. I will add the following preferences for myself. The sight has to have wrapped fiber optics for brightness during fading light. It cannot used a light with batteries. Batteries can and will burn out while on stand. Most of the batteries cost about $3 each and most sights use about 3 of them. I also MUST have a sight that is microadjustable for windage as my playing and tinkering never cease. Of course it goes on a different bow every year or sometimes two or three a year. I have come to like single-pin adjustable sights for their versatility. They can be adjusted for varying distances when practicing or shooting target and 3D, then just locked down to a specific yardage (25 yards) for hunting. Having only one pin also has the advantage of cleaing out the clutter (too many pins) making for a cleaner sight picture. Also at the moment of truth, as we call it, there is no possibility of picking the wrong pin, so when you miss you can't lie your way out of it. Oh, and I do think itwas mentioned that I prefer all-metal.

Good sights cost more. Let's face it. It takes more time and effort to machine a piece of aluminum than it does to mold a piece of plastic. But it will last much longer and most times give a lot less problems over the years. You'll notice as time goes on that bows do not make much noise these days, but cheap accessories will rattle.

And of course, you have to work within your own budget.
