Default My Bow Quest has come to an end!!! Also sight Q?

I have been saying I am getting a new bow for about a year now and I have finally made my choice. I just got back from shooting some mathews and I am in awe at the outback! I seriously cannot explain how sweet this bow is. I shot some of the other mathews and there is no comparison, the bow literally is dead in your hands when you shoot. I'll be purchasing this bow next week but I have a quick question about sites. This will be a huge upgrade for me and on my current bow I have a 30 dollar sight. I only shoot one pin so is it really going to benifit spending money on a nicer sight? I can justify spending the money on the bow but I'm not sure about the sight. Any reccomendations would be greatly appreciated.

i love my hha optimizer lite single pin. i've seen they have some knock-offs for cheaper that work the same way. it's a solid, well built sight.

I'm in the mood for a new sight too. Every thing I like is so dang expensive. I'll agonize over it for a while and then bite the bullet. I have a Scott Mountain deal right now. I want to get one that has a perfectly round pin guard so I can center it more easily in my peep.

Check out the tru glo single pin. Its unbelieveably bright and the round housing is edge lit with fiber optics also. Its worth taking a look at. IMO

I guess what I'm trying to say is a better site going to make me shoot any better? Is it a waste to put a cheap site on a expensive bow?

No, it won't make you shoot any better. But, it might make it easier to shoot better, I've been using a Toxonics Hybrid III, and shooting pretty well with my new bow. But, I'm looking to get a sight with micro-adjustments (and smaller pins) on it soon, it just seems like it would be so much more precise. Of course, I'm a bit of a gearhead anyway and really like to fine tune things as much as possible, if all I wanted to do was hit a 6" circle at thirty yards then I wouldn't consider it that good of an investment. It's all about what you're trying to do.
