Tyler, there are tons of good sights available nowadays. Trophy Ridge and Tru Glo both make good sights as well as several other companies. It really depends on how much you want to spend and what you are comfortable with. Most archery shops will have bows with different sights on them and you would be best served if you went and tested them and found one that you liked. The other plus for you is that the seasons are ending and you should be able to get a good deal on the sight of your choice. good luck

I have recently been trying the CopperJohn 3 pin sight, seems to be
very well made and priced about $70. So far I like them very much.

I currently use the HHA OL5000 single pin slider. I bought a Copper John the other day and put it on my Mathews. I am having buyers remorse. Not because the CJ is a bad sight, I just have grown acustomed to a single vertical pin so I am going to put the HHA back on.

I have the 3 pin and would sell it for $55if interested. I can take a picture of the sight and receipt. It has been on the bow and shot for less than an hour. Let me know.

Cobra Easy Slide and the Cobra Sidewinder. Both very good, bright sights.

Putting it simple and sweet. Nothing made of plastic. Look for good machined metal construction. Steel pins or fiber supports. An adequate hood that protects that pin and fiber. Wrapped fiber pins if you need bright pins for those first and last minutes of hunting.

Something that doesn't need a battery operated light. The lights just run up the cost, and are usually too bright when you need to see your pins the most. Batteries can cost as much as $3 each and most lights use as many as three.

Stay with something solid. Cobra Sidewinder is a good start. HHA OL series are very good. VBG, Impact and others, too. Visit some websites to check out the lastest offerings.

One thing. If you are going to buy a sight made with any plastic then keep most of your money in your pocket and just buy a really cheap one. No more than about $25.

Copper John makes some great sights for the money. No plastic on this baby. SpottHogg also make some awsome sights, but they are quite a bit more money.

I bought a 3 pin sight from Impact Archery and love it. It is really bright and priced pretty well.

Here's another vote for Trophy Ridge sights! I have used their sights for years and I couldn't possibly be happier! You've got to check out their new '06 line, they truly have several new sights that everyone will love.
