Default what sight should i buy

I will be buying a new bow this year (PSE Dakota or something similar). I would like some advice on sights. I currently use a single pin. I don't want anything too fancy or complicated (or too expensive). Only hunting (no 3D shoots) and only need 2-3 pins. Any and all advice would be helpful.

Thanks

Try a pendelum sight. One pin and works great.

The Copper John sights are hard to beat. I had them on my bows and sold them to try others. I now have Copper Johns on all my bows again. I won't make that mistake again.

Tru-Glo at Wal-Mart on sale for $10 or 11. It has 3 pin fiber optics that work. Just don't overtighten the adjustment screws. If you are on a real budget, and it's just for hunting, it'll do the job. I've used them before.

Another vote for Copper John. Just a sturdy, quality made sight.
