RE: 5 pin sites
I'll cast another vote for the Trophy Ridge sights, especially the new Rhino. It's an awesome sight and as mentioned, you have a totally unobscured sight picture for your long range pin settings. I personally pulled the shortest pin on mine to make it a 4 pin model and have 20,30, 40, and 50 yard settings. I have it mounted on my VTEC and love it!

RE: 5 pin sites
I have the Trophy Ridge Flatline sight. I LOVE IT! your field of view is great. I'm a lefty, and I got a great deal on a LH 5 pin. The only problem that I have is that I can't set the smallest sight low enough for 50 yards. I have a 66# draw, 30" 2315's, w/125 grain field tips. Up until then I can get it to work, but that darn 50 yd pin won't go low enough. I wish it would because my brother-in-law and I are always trying to outshoot each other, and he can shoot the hell out of the target at 50 yds.

I agree with the Trophy Ridge sights - they're great.
I'd go with the Trophy Ridge 3 pin sight - it's cheaper and it'll allow you shots out to 50+ yards.
I shoot a Bowtech Extreme VFT and use my first pin out to 35-40 yards.

RE: 5 pin sites
I've been happy with my Copper Johns for the most part. They seem to be a little softer metal, which can make it hard to adjust the individual pins after setting in one spot for some time, especially if they are over tightend. The only other problem I had was that the bolt that adjusts the horizontal adjustment stripped out fairly easy. It was an easy fix. The afterburner light works great for dusk and indoor Dart shooting. I personally am thinking of upgrading to a Spot- Hogg Hunter this year for a little more adjustabitlity.

RE: 5 pin sites
I think we should refer to the best sight within a specific price range. I cant afford a sur-loc although I'd love one. Spott Hogg is also awesome but again out of my budget range. Ive therefore settled for the Cobra sidewinder LX. The best five pin for my buck. Then again if the pin is firmly attached and you can see it, does the name really matter?????
