Default Copper John,TruGlo,Cobra or other sight?

I'm looking for a 3 pin sight,with pins easy to see at dawn or dusk.I would like a metal pin guard and would prefer metal pins.
I noticed that all 3 sightsI mentioned are about the same price.
I'm left handed and shoot a BuckMaster 2000,52lb pull 29"draw.This will be my 5th year bowhunting.I'm looking for a sight that's 100 dollars or less.
I only hunt deer so if you know of a better sight please let me know.Thanks

Any of those 3 are excellent choices, but I'll say this. The Cobra Sidewinder is one of the BRIGHTES sights I've ever seen. Very well built.

I do believe they are ambidextrous. Just flip em over and they work fine. I'll double check on that for you tomorrow.

The skylight by Black Gold is one of the oneI would mention. Very bright pins early and late.

I switched from a tru-glow to a Cobra "Sidewinder" and am VERY pleased! It is much brighter and easy to adjust the sights with. It has wing-nuts so you can sight it in with just your fingers as apposed to having to break out the allen wrenchs'. I would recommend it to anyone...

I am very pleased with my Cobra Sidewinder Radiant and would recommend it for durability, brightness and ease of use.

I use the Cobra Sidewinder and am very pleased with it's low light performance.
