Trophy Ridge sights??????????
Will the Flatliner, or Flatliner Extreme take the "Nitro" sticks?
I'd rather not pay the extra for the Nitro Extreme if I don't have to.
Any other differences between the trophy ridge sights (Not looking at the Matrix...$35 for dampers? I think not!)

Nice lookin rig Chief!
I kinda want to go with the light sticks as I have been having some bad luck with LED lights for some reason. Glow sticks seem as though they would be more reliable.

I've never used that sight or held one up close. But can I ask why the sight needs light pins? I've been thinking about the Matrix for Hunting and 3-D, but on a post I started about a month or so ago, got mixed reviews. If the pins are fiber optic, why a secondary source of light? My $10 tru-glo from wal-mart, albeit all plastic, shines bright in faded light. I'm not being facetious, just honest.

Stealth, can't remember where the hole is - so the stick falls between the housing of the sight and the fibers OR on the outside of the fibers. But would have to be drilled precise and SLIGHTLY smaller than the sticks themselves.
As far as the dampers, cut a limb saver in half, attach one half to the front side of the sight, the other to the bracket coming from the riser. Whala! Instant dampening on your sight.
jetblast, these are some of the brightest sights I've ever seen. I don't use my sticks - yet. The glow sticks burn for about 14 hours, and allow the sight pins to be seen well after there is enough light to even see the target (for those who like to see sights to the very end)

Well, I found a SMOKIN deal on a new Nitro Express (no need to drill a hole)!!!
I like to shoot with both eyes open, that allows me to use a smaller peep. If I can make the pins brighter still, I can use a target style peep and shoot in ZERO light (PRACTICE..NOT hunting!! but you can see the benefits).
BTW...I have found that you can get BAGS of the light sticks for $20 or LESS for bags of 120 sticks on e-bay as well (Not $1 per stick from Nitro/Trophy Ridge)
