Default sight question

I have a G5 sight with .029 pins and I'm not happy with the sight in general. I would like to drop down to .019 pins any recommendations
thanks

I have wound up going to all trophy ridge vertical 019's on both my hunting bows, they don't get talked about too much here but over the last three years they have served me well. I really like how much they open up my sight window.....Good luck on your search...

Give any of the Viper sights a good look. I have both the microtune and the 1000 and I am very pleased with both. .019s on one and .010s on the other.

The finest .019" sight I have EVER seen or used is the Spot-Hogg Hunter Hogg-It with Hogg Wrap! I personally have tried several .019" sights but was never happy with them especially in lowlight or in a blind but the Spot-Hoggs take pin brightness to a whole new level.... wow what an impressive product! I have NO plans on switching anytime soon. Good luck and good shootin'

i would look at the Viper Pro 2000. I found it to be the best sight for the money. I ordered one with .010 pins. Can't wait to have it!!

I shot a bow with one of these last weeek. I hope to be switching to it this fall.

This one didnt have the wrap on it, does anyone know how big of a difference it makes? (as far as lighting)
a. its bright enough allready?
b. in a dark blind it is needed?
c. i need to shoot with sunglasses on?

A lot of good sights out there but without a doubt Spot Hogg with a wrap. You can find them on ye olde archery shoppe and eders.com for about 190.00 wrapped and that's the Hogg it which I have and wouldn't trade. It's built extremely well and they will replace it if you break it, easy to adjust, 2nd and 3rd axis. You have to understand how the pins move but once you do it's a piece of cake just a little different. I'm a constant upgrade type person...love to try new things but I have to tell you this is my 3rd and final sight. You can get the pins as small as .010 on them. I have .019 and it's more than adequate. I also put the Carolina archery sight light on this one for 15.00. I tried others but this one is flat/doesn't get in the way and I've left it on over night and it's still going..good light.

The brightest sights I have ever seen come from Spot Hogg (personally shooting the Real Deal right now)with the wrap or from Sword archery.
