Cobra Sight??? BGfisher
 

I am looking at a Cobra Sidewinder and was wondering how everyone likes theirs. They are bright in the store, but how are they in low light?

I just got one and I think I will like it !

Two complaints so far :

They make a little noise ! The fiber optics rattle.......so last night I took mine apart (after it's been sighted in) and put a clear piece of tape over the fiber optics.....then I cut a string leech up and packed the tube that the fiber optics are wrapped around with it ! Have'nt shot yet.....but can say almost without a doubt it's going to be silent now !

Secondly.....not much I can do.....but the fiber optic is not protected enough for me from the housing to the pin head ! It seems like it could be broken easily......hopefully not !

Besides that......easy to set up ! The vertical and horizontal adjustments are super easy and require no tools ! The pins are bright.....but not too bright like my Cosmic !

I think I'm really going to like it !!

I work in a shop and have tried a lot of stuff, sights included. The Cobra I don't like because of some of the reasons already stated. That, and I don't like the chincy way it's attached to the mount. Last year I looked for a couple months at some of these things and decided on the HHA OL 5000. I know it's more money, but you'll only have to buy it once. It's all metal, bright as your eye can percieve, built like atank, micro-adjustable for windage, and Lifetime warranty.
One thing I never compromise on is accessories. Good ones will last a long time and not give any trouble, such as noise or plastic breaking.

Bought one and discovered it won't work on my setup.
Limited vertical adjustment will not work with my low anchor.

It does seem quite bright, even in a fog.

Hey BGfisher, what do you think of the Copper John Dead nuts, Black Gold Dusk Devil 2, Vital Bow Gear Proslide, and the Spot Hogg. Which one would you recomend? I like the HHA but it is to heavy, my bow weighs enough and I don't want to add any. Thanks.
