Default Recommend me a Sight

Here' s what I' m shooting... Hoyt Havoc. my budget is $100 or less...prefer 5 pins, but if i like the site, ill use a 3 pin..micro pins are a plus, and low light visability and a clear sight window is a top priority...let the debateing begin

I have the trophy ridge matrix and believe it to be one of the best sights on hte market. The sight window is round and it works great with a peep sight. They are avaible with micro pins. Everything on the sight is adjustable without any tools!!!! Was a breeze to sight in. They are very secure there is no fear of accidentally knocking it out of tune. It is a little more than $100 though. They have other models under $100 though. They start at around $50 for the flatliner. They come in either 3 or 5 pin models. The 2003' s have steel pins as well istead of the plastic pins. All in all it is a great sight.

I own a Copper John Dead Nuts Pro and Love it. It has five .019 pins and a round pin gaurd which helps you automatically align your peep. The gaurd also has an orange ring on it which also helps with alignment. And on top of that it is made out of all machined aluminum. one very tough sight. If you go with a Copper John I promise you will be very happy.

I just bought a Tru-Glo Bright Site 3 pin with smaller than average pins. I don' t think they were labeled as micro, but they are smaller than the typical pins on most sights. I like the sight a lot, and the pins are the brightest I' ve seen without Tritium or lights or that huge coil of fiber!

Learn to shoot barebow and use the hundred bucks to upgrade your arrows.

Josh, that' s easy, accessorize your Hoyt with Hoyt' s micro adjustable sights...that' s a no brainer.

At least buy one that is micro adjustable with all pins moving together in the same plane so once you set your gap, adjustments are easy.
