Default looking for a new sight

Just purchased a new OUTBACK and looking for a new sight and would loves to get some thoughts from you smart guys here!

Currently shoot a Legacy with MZE and trophy ridge matrix! Loved the setup my only complaint with the sight was at times it was not bright enough even with the .29 pins!

Really only interested in verticle pin sights

ALL THOUGHTS WOULD BE GREAT!!!


heard about the spot hogg or something like that!!!!

Check out the extreme sniper or sniper extreme(can't remember the order), they have been pretty popular lately. I like the the one pin adjustable sights, I use the Impact Cosmic. I have also used the Cobra adjustable, very bright.

I have a Tru-Glo Brite-Site and think its a great sight. It is a single pin adjustable sight, and has a full meter of FO material wrapped around it to collect light. Very bright even past legal shooting hours. It has a level also. I checked out the Impact Archery line, and Vital Bow Gear sights among others, but decided to go with the Tru-Glo. I'm happy with my decision.

I tried the Extreme Sniper, the pins are not very bright. A friend has one and needs a light to shoot our indoor 3D league. I like the Copper John sights. For hunting the Pro with .029 pins is hard to beat. Very durable and lightweight. The Impact Cosmic has one of, if not, the brightest pins out there. These are also durable and lightweight sights. The Spot Hoggs are real tanks re: durability, but spendy.

I saw a buch of Vital Bow Gear stuff for the first time today; it was some really nice looking stuff. They have a multi pin sight called the Tombstone I think. It was bright and looked to be very well built. I was more interested in the 1 pin moveable thay had though. Very compcat, very bright and had the large orange ring around the scope, which was nice.

Check out their stuff here

Check out the new Viper sights. They are awesome!! They have a model with long fiber optics so they have bright pins. They all except a light as well. The model I just bought even has a 2,3,4 or 6 power lens which is removeable. You can get a sun shade as well. Its very well made and looks alot like a mix between a copperJohn and a extreme.

More on Vital Bow Gear. the above link dosn't show the Trapper. they come in 1,3 or 5 pin sights and the pins are supported vertically. Each pin has 3 feet of fiber optics. Needless to say but these sights are very bright. The trappers are at the bottom of the page.
