Default Black Gold Flashpoint Sight

Is the Black Gold Flashpoint 4-pin Sight a good sight for a new hunter.

I also shoot one, and I love it. It is very easy to set up and would be fine for a new hunter.

It is a very good sight, very bright.
If I can, I would suggest you also look at the NEW Limbsavers (SIMS)Elite Prism Sight, the optics on this is just as bright and this sight has the capability of 2nd & 3rd axis adjustments as well.

I am looking at getting one of these sights too. I was wondering if they are too Bright? I have had trouble shooting in the past when the pins were too bright. If they are too bright when I back up to 40 and 50 yards sometimes the pins kind of blur together and cover to much of my target.

Lung Buster, I hear what you're saying. Fast bow eh--the pins are close together.
Nevertheless you can control the light of the fibers, by using a bit of tape on the photocell. However Black Gold also has a sight with untra violet ability and what this does is to reduce the light going to the pins when the conditions are 'very bright'.
Maybe this would be the sight you should be looking at.
Also,another thing to look atin 'combination' with the sight is using a Specialty Archeryhooded ball peep fitted with a 'verifier'.
Hereyou can either focus your sight pins, or focus in your target. In your case the problem is with the pins, so you would address that by choosing the correct color verifier, (purple, white, orange etc) dependingon what strength you need--this will correct and focus your pins properly.

The Flashpoint is the sight that controls the light, it turns real dark purple in the sun to let less light in and change's back to white as it get's darker. You can't beat the lifetime guarantee for no matter what breaks.
