Anything by Vital Bow Gear. They are the brightest, most incredible sights I have seen!

This is the Vital Bow Gear Star Track moveable single pin sight:

I will second Butch and vote for the Vital Bow Gear sights. I just bought the Angular Profix....seems to be a very well made sight and definately bright! The Impact Archery and HHA sights look good too.

That's right... Check outVAhuntr's Vital Bow Gear Angular Profix. The single pin is set at an angle and really looks neat!


Oh and here is what the HHA OL-5000 sight looks like. It's sort of like the moveable pin sight like the Vital Bow Gear Pro Slide.

It depends on what you want it for.....I have used Vital Bow Gear sights and have had good and bad luck. Four years ago I had nothing but problems, but it seems they have smoothed things out recently. The suggested sights above are great sights. If you are looking for a robust, highly designed, lightweight sight for bowhunting I suggest looking at the new G5 Optix sights. www.g5outdoors.com I had the opportunity to see one at a show and they are awesome. I would suggest going to a bow shop and trying out as many sights as you can before deciding. Like anything else, it is all what you feel comfortable using.

The HHA optimizer lite sight is very bright and HHa backs up their products greatly.

I can and do recommend HHA OL series sights. Some of the best you can buy.

I always love the comments about customer service though. I hear HHA is pretty good, but in four years I've not had to use the service. I guess that's what separates the men from the boys.

I use the Hogg It Hunter and really like it, but have been checking out the new sights by G5. Anyone tried these or have any comments on them?

I don't have anything to add to what Butch said. Man.....he's turned himself into an edumacated archery GURU!!!!! He makes me so proud!! Excuse me, I have to dry my eyes....

Oh, one more you may want to look at. The King Cobra from Cobra. It's new for this year and making some ruccous at the shop. I, for one, love my Star Track though.
