I posted this question in the Technical forum because it seems to get a lot more traffic and the folks there are more " gadget oriented" but since I primarily bowhunt and only shoot spots and 3D to be better at bowhunting, I thought I would post this here, too.

I need a new sight to go on my Legacy. I' ve been shooting a while with my Cobra Brite-Eye sight (Wal-Mart clearance for $3) while I decide what I really want in a sight. I am primarily going to hunt with my bow, and I intend to shoot spots and eventually 3D to be better for bowhunting. Right now, I' m thinking that I would like either a 3 or 5-pin sight with small-diameter fiber optic pins (.019 probably), but have those pins very bright for their size. I don' t really need a circular pin guard, as I use a No Peep instead of a peep sight. Because of the No Peep, though, I would like for the sight to have a little more adjustment room to the left than my crappy Cobra does now. I' m only about 3/16" away from the pin guard now when sighted in. I would also prefer to have a level on the sight, but it' s not absolutely necessary since I have the No Peep. Same with camo, preferable but not necessary.

Anyone know of a sight that suits my needs? The most important feature is precise, very bright pins.

Thanks!

Three top of the line brands that fit your criteria are Copper Johns, Extreme, and Spot Hogg. All have levels good adjustability and .019 pins.

I would say the Spot-Hogg, Hunter Hogg-It sight. But it' s going to set you back quite a bit . You could buy about 50 of the $3 sights you are shooting now. You won' t find a Spot-Hogg at WAL-MART for $3 that' s for sure!

I' m not expecting to get a good sight for $3.

I do like the design of the Spot Hoggs, but I don' t think they are worth the prices they want for them for the uses I intend. I am really liking the looks of the Impact Archery sight called the Collector, and it' s less than half the price of that Spott Hogg.

I do not know the " collector" to look at it but my experiences with the Impact sights have been nothing but favorable so far. I have teh Cosmis Eclipse model and was thinking about a multiple pin unit to compliment it. My only complaint was that the model I was looking at did not have very tight pin gaps.

Jason check out this rear sight, that you can use with your existing front sight.
it' s kinda like a rifle sight.

it' s called the yikes bowsight.
I have one and I really like the concept.
OH, you don' t have to use a peep either.
that' s what I like about it.

It' s a one pin adjustable sight. It also has the option of attaching a small light to illuminate your fiber optic pin for first and last light. I have this sight on my Hoyt and my Bowtech and I love it!

I would say check out copper john and tru-glo. They make real good quality sights.

Jason, here' s what I want you to do on your next practice session. Do it in the rain or simulate rain by misting a little water on your No-peep. Now come to full draw and view the prism that once was your anchor reference. I know this isnt the intention of your post but since you' re from WA I know that place is like the Amazon sometimes.

I shot the No-Peep for almost two years before that bit me during last years white tail season in WV. I REALLY liked the No Peep and shot it well plus I liked the simplicity and speed of having nothing but a nock and leaches on my string. But when I was done letting fork horns and six points walk at the end of the season last year waiting for something better I got bitten. I decided to take the next buck that came along and when he was broad side at 30 yards I couldnt shoot (with confidence) because the No-Peep was unuseable with rain drops on it. It was even worse when it snowed.

good luck
