Durablity of sight pins? Best Sight choice?
I'm in the market for a new bow sight, and have it down to the G5 Optix LE, the Spot Hogg Hunter Hog It or Real Deal, and the Truglo Xtreme Micro Adjust.
Anyexperience with these sights?
I know a lot of you like the Spot Hogg...but how do the fiber optics hold up? They look very exposed on the rear of the sight, like they would break easily, or catch on twigs and stuff.

The G5 and Spot Hogg are both great sights, I personally like the Swords a bit better though. Rob had a really good review on the new Viper sight as well, that one looks promising as well.

I especially want to know if anyone has had problems with the Spot Hogg optic filaments breaking while hunting.

I bought the Tru Glu and have been very happy with it. Easy to adjust (no tools), durableand very bright. Mine even has a light on it that makes the pins glow in the dark. Obviously not to be used after legal hunting time, but great for that last 5 minutes.

"Yeah, I had reas this evaluation, and that is what promted my question. I want to know some real world hunting experience with these sights...not just a test experiment. I tried a broadhead that had very high marks from an independent tester......and found it to be very inferior in real hunting situations. I believe it was because the testing conditions cannot simulate real hunting conditions. (Nor did they claim to.)"
Ain't it the truth!

All I can say is that I've broken at least one pin on every hunt I've taken my Cobra Sidewinder, both the .018" and the .029" pin models, sometimes I've even broken 2 of the 3 pins. I'm looking for something better.
