so..i want to improve my shootingaccuracyand thought that since it is better to focus on the target and not on the sight when shooting (majority agreement from another post) thismakes thepins blurry i would want to minimize mypin sizeas much as possible to minimize the blurriness and thus would be able to be more accurate?? well after a lot of review it seems that the flatline sights have very very smallpin heads (if that is what you call them) and would help me out if my theory is true??

what is your guys input??

I shoot a Viper Predator Pro MT. My sight pins are .019 top and 2nd pin.....and .010 3rd and 4th.....for the very reasons you mention.

so it is obviously better to have the first one or two pins larger then the last ones...do the sights with the flatline type arrangement of pins have smaller sizes??

thanks GM

Hey I'm no expert. I'm guessing if your eyesight is really good that the smaller your pin size = the better. I just know that when I get out to 45-50 yds.....I don't want the pin covering that much of what I'm shooting at.

That's all....

oh no i understand...i am no expert either more of a beginner i would say....but yes that was my thought as well..i don't want to cover soo much of the target up..and my eye sight is not the best even with my glasses on.......

thanks again,
Josh

If you're looking at hunting there isn't really a need for that kind of nat's ass precision but for targets, that's why you can get magnifying lenses for many sights, a 3x lense makes the target 3x's bigger in relation to the pin; HUGE advantage. The tradoff is reduced light transmission and glare issues. Otherwise, you're on the right track; the smaller the target, the smaller the pin.

hey GM, are the difference in pin sights only on new sights? i have been looking into it and it seems anything of an older sight has all the same pin size?? do you know which models or brands have the varied pin sizes?

Nope. I ordered this one, this way. I can't speakintelligently REther sights.

-agreed, sounds to me like you should check out a Toxonics Magnified sight... Im not sure how practical it is for hunting though.. but it would help

Kodiak....i went and looked at the web site to look into one of those sights....i don't know if you have one or looked into it, but in looking at them it appears that the magnification lense is closest to your eye and the pins and target are on the other side...if it enlarges the target wouldn't it also enlarge the pins just the same? there web site doesn't talk about this problem, but the pictures show the lense closest to the hunter??
thanks
