I had a set of sights that were having the same problem that you are discribing... I found a very small flashlight { that I think was for a set of sights } and mounted it under the sight bar and it shined up on the pins. But that was a hard thing to put together.... The best thing that I can tell you is to buy a different sightg and save the headach....[:-][:-]

I use the standard Cobra fiber optic sight. It is brite enough to see in any legal light situation. If you want something better, several companies make sights with lights that iluminate fiber optics. Cobra is one that comes to mind. Don

You can buy small lights from Princeton that stick onto the riser and shine on the pins. Problem with these lights is that they will make pins too bright for most hunting purposes. Frankly I' d go get a sight that has brighter fiber optic pins.

Also remember, in some states, electronic devises (this would include battery operated lights) are illegal, and they disqualify P&Y entries.

There is a LED light made specifically for this purpose for TR Matrix Sights. I think its made by PSE maybe? If i remember right you can find it on the TR web site. It will disqualify you from P&Y though.
