Default New sight question

Does anyone shoot, or have shot, with a G5 optix sight? Im looking for one to replace my extreme sight because I just dont have enough light for my pins. Im interested in one with a seperate light/LED for the pins.

Any suggestions on such a sight?

My brother(chipper1) looked hard at the G5's but ended up going with an Apex, I'll try to get him to chime in on this.

I chose my current sight after seeing how bright the pins were on a friend's. I chose the Viper sight. Here's the reason why (see photo). There are times when I can't see through my binos....but I can still see my sight pins.

The g5 is an awesome sight but i went with the apex they seemed to be a tougher sight and they have an led light included that is part of the side bracket. got them both out of the package and while pushing around on the pins the apex just seemed alot stronger plus it was about 75 bucks cheaper. I managed to break my extremes 2 or 3 times last year.
