ORIGINAL: SwiftFlight

I ordered a new bow today and I am trying to pick out a new sight system for it. I am looking to get a fixed pin style and I dont want to spend over $85.00 or less would be better.

I have surfed cabelas and saw the copper John,Tru Glow, and Cobras. Are the Cobras any good?


Thanks
Troy
SwiftFlight,

A little more information may be needed to help you. Do you intend to just hunt or compete or both?

I don't compete at all I just hunt with my bow and I use a Cobra Mini Venom and have had zero problems with it at all. It is fairly cheap at approx. $33.00

It does however have a plastic sight guard. The restof it ismetal and I have yet to have a problem withit, I think however the next sight I buy will be all metal. I would have no problem buying another Cobra productthough as mine has performed just as it should.

If you intend to shoot competitively I cannot help you and will defer to those who can.

I plan to buy the CAP Foxfire Single Pin sight in the near future. Can't beat the price and you know CAP makes quality products. 5shot gave it a great review. I'll let you know how I like it.
