I have a Twilight hunter and you can not buy a better sight for the price.You would have to spend twice as much to get a better sight imo.

The adjustments work super smooth and accurate.Dovetail vertical and horizontal adjustments.

I prefer the smaller housings and being able to get the 1 3/4" housing with the pins set the way I wanted is a plus.

Curious, Todd... what size peep do you use? The reason I ask is that almost all of the hardcore bowhunters I know DON'T like the small housings (I actually declined to pursue a pro-staff position with a company because of that reason once). I know you probably shoot more target stuff though than the average guy too, though I'm not sure if you'd use the same sight for both...

Remember my draw length is only 28" so I can use a smaller housing but I use a larger 3/16" peep. I also do not extend my sight housing way out like some either.

I prefer my setup this way and I actually do the same for hunting and targets.It works for me for both.

I used to used to use a small 1/16" peep and center the pin for targets but I got tired of struggling for light indoors.I started using the larger peep and round housing for hunting and gradually made the switch and like it.

The next hunting sight i buy WILL be a Sword. I have seen TFOX's twilight setup and really like it. Its simple, and seems durable/reliable. The price imho is unbeatable as well. Just by word of their customer service would persuade me enough.

Greg, I like a smaller housing as well. Im really not sure why anyone would want a larger one I like tobe able to align my peep perfectly around the sight housing when im aiming so I know im consistant. For hunting I use a larger peep for light purposes but I still thinksmaller is better... for me anyway.I believe this b/c when I hunt, it seems to help me focus on a "spot" to shoot on the deer instead of the surroundings.

I have the spott hogg real deal and its a very nice sight. I would have liked the micro adjust capabilities because it does come very handy, but even without it is a great site. I'm sure you already know, but those .19 pins will really fade fast in low light. If it were me I'd stick with the .29, unless this is just for a target bow.

Because of this reason...

Exactly. I use a 1/4" peep, and my Hunter Hogg-It's 2 3/8" pin guard makes combines with it to make perfect concentric circles ...


but I still thinksmaller is better...
Isn't that contradicting what you just said? [8D]

I too prefer the larger pin guard. It provides a better field of view andcenters in mypeep without cluttering up the view.;)

I've used a Sword Apex Hunter for the past two years and have had nothing but good things to say about it. Solid construction, easy pin adjustments, lifetime warranty. I believe Sword is located in Kentucky and have heard their customer service is great to deal with.

Ditto that Dan, I like a 2" Housing, with my set-ups.

If I were picking from those listed, it would definitely be the Twilight Hunter, just make sure you get it in micro-adjust.
