I would recomend a Cobra sidewinder. They are very bright, metal housing,and metal pins. Level and five pins as said earlier. The only complaint I have heard was a fiber optic strand breaking in brush. I bought one even though I had heard this. I do not see this leaving the sight unuseable. Brightness is a good quality early and late in the day or in the timber.

so, I was reading a previous post on the sidewinder, and someone thought it was made of plastic. I looked at the three pin version, and I believe it is all metal, costs about $64 in black and a couple bucks more in camo. this is an all metal sight correct? is the price about accurate too? thanks

hoyt3, you are correct. The only plastic is the cover for the fiber optics. I think it's a decent sight for the money. I have heard from a couple guys that the fibers rattle around a touch inside the shroud, but I haven't shot it so can't comment. I'd say put one on at a shop and find out for yourself.

I've been around a couple decades and seen many changes, some not always so good, but most work. Unless you hunt some western states I think it's best to have as few pins on a hunting sight as you can get away with. Emphasis on HUNTING. If most of your shots will be within 30 yards then I like a single pin adjustable sight. Less pins means less possible mistake. You don't have to adjust it during hunting conditions. Just sight it and set it for 25 yards or so and leave it alone. It'll take care of anything within 30 yards with a mid body hold. No guessing yardage or anything. No picking the wrong pin. All you need is a bow that is shooting about 260fps or more. For the rare occurance where you may have a longer shot you would probably have ample time to take a glance and move it, but those would be rare. And it's such a nice clean sight picture with no extra pins blocking the animal.

I like all-metal myself (plastic is junk) so my favorite is the HHA OL-5000. For ruggedness, brightness, solidity, and warranty it's at or near the top of the heap.

Cobra Sidewinder,,i bought some testers luminous orange and painted an orange ring over the factory white ring on the housing to really bring my targets into constraints. Awsome sight.

I have a 3 pin optic sight on my bow, no clue who made it. Works fine.

Vital Gear Trapper 3 Ring. This is one bullet proff sight with some of the brightest pins on the market.

Another vote for the Impact Archery Cosmic. It's the brightest sight I've ever used and won't break the bank account either .I bought mine fpor $42.00

nubo

I use the HHA 5 pin sight. Lite weight, all metal construction with fiber optic inserts in metal pins. Full gang adjustments for windage and elevation with a lifetime warranty.

My vote goes with the Sidewinder LX, and if anything rattles, tighten the screws cos its as quiet as they come

My new sight, Black Gold -Dusk Devil2 with devil tail pins.I am VERY happy with this sight.
