Question on wrapped fiber optics in DB blinds.
 

How do wrapped fiber optic sights work in the Double blinds. Is it still too dark?

Thanks.

I can let you know in a couple of weeks. I just bought a used on and should have it some time this week. :)

I don't use sights on my bow ,
but all of my smokepoles have Tru Glo sights and they work just fine . Tru Glos are pretty limited compared to wrapped models , so you should be fine .

I don't know about the DB but I have a Doghouse TSC and use a Trophy Ridge Nitro Extreme which has fairly good amount of fiber optic and it doesn't light up too well in the blind. I bought a light for the sight though and no more problems.

I've always read that the wrapped sight are ok while in the DB. But with other sights, you might have a problem seeing them.

Good idea to have a small light on your sight. A couple of times in
the last few minutes of shooting light I've had trouble picking up
my pins. Missed a nice coues deer a couple years back while set up
over a waterhole. I absolutely could not pick up my pins while
looking through my peep[:@].

A compelling reason to learn instinctive shooting , perhaps ? ;)

I use a vital bow gear trapper with a light on it. It works great! You will need a light on your sight. You will have trouble seeing your pins no matter what sight you use without a light. Good luck

Thanks guys. When I get my new VBG i'll test it in the blind, and get a light if I need it. Thanks for the info. It sounds like I'll need the light though.:)

Thanks, but no thanks. I'll take my chances using pins, especially
out west.;)

I had a tritium pin sight glowing brightly in front of me this year while hunting from a completely enclosed ground blind. NICE South Texas ten point standing at 23 yards. I could see him with my eyes, I could see my pin, but I just couldn't see through my peep while in the dark enclosure. I use a "hunter sized" peep right now and I might widdle it out some if I can't learn to do away with it all together.

Once you get your Double bull, definately practice from it in low light conditions before season. That way you will know for sure what you are capable of.

I have had the double bull for a couple years, I have just never shot my bow out of it. My dad usually uses it for rifle. I will try it as soon as the snow melts:)
