Default Looking for New Sight ....

I am trying to decide what new sight to go with. I went from the sight that came in my package deal to a Carolina Foxfire 3 pin w/light. It does a good job during good lighting but I can still see deer and not my pins at dusk and dawn. I like the light. It definately lights up the pins but it causes my 20 and 30 yd pins to blur together. I really want to get something easy to adjust, not too technical, very bright pins(small diam. if possible), and not break the bank doing it. Also the peep that came on my bow seems to be smaller at dawn and dusk causing my sight picture to blur. Any suggestions on solving this problem and the sight choice issue will be greatly appreciated. Oh, by the way, the peep I think is a 3/16 or whatever is standard with the tube.

Thanks, LT

My fav sight over the past season has been the Trophy Ridge Summit. This exciting 4 pin sight has been a pleasure to shoot and hunt with this year. It's a rock solid, all metal machined, micro adjustable, bright hunting sight that has all the features you could ever want in a hunting sight. A truly GREAT sight picture!

take a look at the Sword sights... i like the twilight hunter with .019 pins. but it's a personnal choice.

hey Cornfed...... with that sight doesn't the light give off a glare with it where it is? on my Sword it's mounted off the mounting bracket to shine on the fibers only not in the pin guard. just curious as it looks like it would.

Check out the Cobra line of Sidewinder sights as well. Very, very good sights...and not a bunch of money.

Check out the Montana Black Gold Flashpoint. I took off my cobra sidewinder and tried this thing out. It is by far the brightest sight I have ever used. I can see my pins very easy before I can even see the ground. Built very well, easy to set up and you will like it.
