Default Tool-less sights

i just got a new Truglo tool-less sight and i was wondering if this is a good sightor would you recommend a different sight? has anyone had any experience with tool-less sights? ive heard some of them dont lock down well? is this true?

Do you have pins on that site as large as you type?

Haven't seen one but it does sound appealing.

that is some rather large font...
nevertheless, i have used them before and they work fine... it's great for when you're setting them up, but it's really not that great of an advantage.... i wouldn't buy a sight just because it was tool-less is all i'm saying.

i use a3 pin trophy ridge matrix i have never had a problem with my pins moving and i shoot plenty. if they didn't work the company would pull them off they shelves. with all the other sites out there companies make sure their products are functional.

I haven't found one better than my Sure Loc Lethal Weapon in .019 thin pins, but there are a lot (like everything) that are less expensive.

i disagree unclebucket, i used those sights and they did move... matter of fact after one season of hunting the tighting brackets wore out so they fell down after every shot. the second season they were junk... i threw them away and bought the cobra sidewinder which is also tool-less and have had no problems with it as of yet... my point; trophy ridge is the worst company in the archery field... every product they make is cheap and cost $100 bucks!!! stupid...

I just picked up those sights last week. So far they have worked great. It was very nice tuning it in w/out the tools. I just hope the "lock offs" don't wear out.

I was wishing I had one last week. I drove all the way out to my farm to shoot and sight in only to find out my tools were back home. Just my luck!
