Default Letting you pick it...

Alright, here's the deal... My buddy gave me $600 cash to get him completely set up with an archery rig. We shot a few different bows and figured out what he liked/disliked. Anyway, I purchased a 2005 V-Tec for him and I know that he's getting a Trophy Taker rest (that's non-negotiable ). I need to get him a sight so please vote, if you have another idea select other and write in your choice. Tuesday morning, whichever sight has the most votes... I'll purchase. Keep it around $60. Thanks guys.

Well $60...I'd say the PRO MT by Viper but you'll have to add another $100 to it, Not sure what their other lower end line runs, great fibers in all of them...let me look through Cabelas quick.

Cobra Sidewinder $65

Truglo Brite Site Xtreme $35

Cabelas' 4 pin Extended Fiber Optic Sight, $50...best sight for the $ Looks to be made by Viper or like them.

Nothing else under $60 worth looking at...

All the list above has sights all over that from what I've seen.

i have a truglo extreme 5 pin. its held up well for over a year(a season and a half now) and im rather....rough...on gear. heck, i havent even stripped any of the screws or anything

i dont like the idea of the plastic housing...but realistically, if it would break, so would a metal housing...

for the money, i just dont think your going to do all too much better. low light is no problem at all...most times i leave the woods and can still see my pins..just cant see the ground lol.

i dont have any complaints honestly. next year i do plan to drop the cash on a viper...but only because i really think it will help shrink my 40+yd groups...(smaller pins and the extension)

Impact Archery has one or two around that range and have really bright pins.

I gotta put my vote in for the Extreme R 900. It is a bit over $60, it costs $79, but I absolutely love mine.

.019 pins, the brightest I have seen

Dustin
Out of the ones you listed I would say the Copper John.

But is it was me then I would have to say a Spott Hog but they are more than the budget you listed

The Dead Nuts is cleaner and less flashy. Always a plus in my book.
