Default Sight help PLZ!

Hello everyone, I need some help please. I'm looking at buying a new sight for my bow. I’ve noticed that as I get older, my eyes have gotten weaker, go figure/LOL...Anyway, I've been looking around on the net and other places and there are a lot of them out there. I want something bright and good/tuff that will last for a while. Some that I've seen are Vital Bow gear, Flashpoint, Cobra and Tru Glow another one was Sword. Can ya'll please help me....Confused!!!![/align]

Best thing to do is go look at them and see what is most visible for YOU. In my experience the larger diameter pins work better the worse someones eyes are.
So you might want to take a look at .019 pins but be sure and compare them to .029 and maybe even .039 pins.
The Spot Hogg sights with the Hogg wrap is also a good choice, as are the HHA sights. They do have the 10' of fiber optic available.

The other option is adding a verifier lens to your peep. My pins are the brightest I've found. I use a Viper Predator Pro MT. The pins are more than bright but they began to elongate so I went with a verifier lens in my peep to clear them up. It slightly blurrs the target but not enough that I can't see to shoot for score.
