I use the Trophy Ridge Guide Series Mantis and all I can say is it is AMAZING ! easy to tune and adjust, and it combines a pandulum with a fixed pin adjustable. You can mark off your own pin marks on a tap and the adjustment knob is easy to get to. Its worth every penny of its rather high cost (170.00) Best of both worlds

I use the Cobra easyslide extreme sight and have marks for 20, 30, and 40 yards. Haven't had any problems with it and would recommend it as well.

I use to shoot one pin but I didn't like the guessing game. Now I have three pins one for 10-20yds, second for 30yds, and the third for 50yds. The third pin makes for easy guess work on the 40 and just in case 60yd shots.

These new bows are so darn fast that unless you're comfortable w/ a 40+ yard shot, you only need one pin (30 yards and under). May have to adjust slightly, but not much. Was using a pendulum, but gave that up because I don't like my sites moving when I'm "zeroing" in on my target.

I have a cheap $30 3 pin Cobra sight on mine. I took off all but one pin. I have it sighted in at 30 yrds. I will only shoot up to 35 yrds and anything under 20 yrs I just compensate. If It's 10 yrds or under I don't even use the sight.

HHA Optimizer single pin. It was the brightest sight i looked at, it's all metal, rock solid, and has alot of points where you can lock your sight in place, so theres no way you're going to be off when you get in the woods. The pro shop owner recommended it, said almost all bows he set up have them. I shot his bow with the sight on it, tried out the copper john stuff, i hated the 5 pin trophy ridge sights because too much of the target was obscured, and decided on the HHA. I have not been disappointed, and its well illuminated in low light situations. my LX shoots fast enough where i have it zeroed at 20 or 25 yards and i just hold up a little at 30.
