Has anybody ever seen the wrapped fiber-optic pins on an Impact sight? I have the "Cosmic" on my bow right now (I was playing a game of "musical sights") and this sucker is really bright.

The brightest I've ever seen w/out the aid of a light is the Cobra Sidewinder series. In fact, I dare say they may be TOO bright.
I'll 2nd that. that's why I switched to a copper john. The cobra was to bright and that was with .019 pins.

The HHA sights with 10' of fiber optic and the ability to tone them down when you don't need all that light gathering ability is Awesome!!!

Dan, Are you using this sight and how is it in an actual situation where you have to move the pin?

Yes, I am using the HHA Optimizer Ultra and it is Awesome. I used it in NE on my recent Mule Deer and Turkey hunting trip in Dec. It worked very well in the field, and it was quick and easy to adjust. I will have one on my Airborne when it arrives.

As a matter of fact all my hunting bows will be sporting these sights before next hunting season. They have impressed me that much.

Anymore I prefer a single pin rear adjustable sight. For Multi pin sights I still think the Spot Hoggs with the new wraps reign supreme

How about the lights you can attach to sights such as the PSE's. Anyone try these? If so, how do they perform?

The brightest sight I've used by far is the new Copper John sight. It's brighter than the Viper, Trophy Ridge, Extreme, and Spot Hogg sights that I've used. The one thing I will say is that all of the sights I mentioned were bright enough that I could still see the pin through my peep when it was dark enough that I could not make out what a deer was at less than 10 yards other than a deer. It's to the point that sights are bright enough that you don't need anything more.
