Tritium Pins
Im looking at a new sight for one of my bows. One of the options is a Tritium Pin ($26.). It is claimed or supposed to be a brighter pin in all light conditions.
Is it that much brighter than say the other TruGlo fiber optics?
Have anyone used one in the filed or looked at them in hand at pro shops?
I'd appreciate any feed back, Thank you.

RE: Tritium Pins
I have one and they are definitely brighter during say the last 20 minutes of hunting, especially if under a heavy canopy. But really the most limiting factor is being able to see through the peep, more so than the brigthness of the pin. So it helps some, but going to a large apeture peep helps more.

RE: Tritium Pins
Thank you all for the replies.
Two things, since the greater percentage of my shots are low light due either to the time of day or the heavy cover, I'll be getting the Tritium pin.
Second, Matthews, thanks for the info on the hazards. Only if Im capture will I ingest the pin. I don't want to suffer the dreaded torture of the order of the Bucks Really I do appreciate the info but just couldn't pass onthat one.

RE: Tritium Pins
You'll love the Tritium pin, i've been using one for years now and wouldn't use anything else. They work in daylight hours and even better in fading light and they have no glare at all when you look at them. You don't have to worry about any batteries or turning anything on or off. I use one pin set dead on at 25yds and it works great.
