RE: g5 optix sight
Hi,
I'm aiming with a G5 optix ME with 0.19 pins. So far I haven't got a need for the smart pin, which is a pin you can dial in to the yardage you prefer. I only shoot 10, 20 and 30 yards. But it's a great sight, bright enough pins, light weight but strong enough and easy adjustable.....

you will not be dissappointed. I love the sights bought the light kit for it but the optics are high quality they will gather enough light when you can shoot and even in the moon light will light up I havent found a single time I have need the sight light. I think there awesome in my opinion.

The sight is top notch. Get the .19 version.
However, if you are ham fisted like me the one thing you will wnat to do is go to your local hardwear store and buy 3 of the smallest lock washers they sell and put them under the lock down screws for the top 3 pins. I broke off one of the tiny screws and I've found that this will fix the problem for about $.40.
