Default I think I find my new sight...any experiences?

Had the pleasure of putting my hands on a beautiful sight today for my soon to be new bow....http://www.viperarcheryproducts.com/ The picture isn't of the newest sight I held today. It's the same but this one had mircoadjustable abilities. It's available with .029, .019 and .010 fiber optic pin options. It has a built in harmonic dampener and is all machined aluminum and stainless steel pins with the fiber options...I was told it will be available in March....at a cost of $149.00 ...all these sights on the site linked above were on the table as well...very impressive but I like the microadjustability of the newest one available soon.

A beautiful sight, anyone have experiences with any of these lines......thanks.

Oh, forgot to mention it was at a booth in the archery arena at the Harrisburg sport show.

they do look nice, i am thinking about getting a new sight for hunting what pin size do you guys use? i was thinking the bigger .29 would be better for hunting or is that too big? would you go with .19 instead?

Actually killer243.....029 is fine for 20 yards, but it's big at 30 yards...I prefer the .019 for that distance and even the .010 for 40 yards...remember...pick a hair...aim small, miss small. The bigger the pin, the more it blocks your intended target be it dot, or McKenzie or live animal.

Very nice looking sights, they look rugged as well. I've never heard of them, but would like to see one in person. I just may be in the market for a new sight soon.........hope I can find them nearby.

If I'm not mistaken, that's the sight (or at least brand of sight) that was on the BowTech outfitted for the CSI: New York show...

Good-looking sight.

i'm using .019 and am going to get some .029's when i get around to it. they're just too small for me. maybe its my eyes, but in certain light they are difficult to see.

Rob.

I have not personally used that sight but others I knowthat have had only good things to say about it.

I am seriously looking at the HTM Last Word.

Oh and if you are at the show tomorrow give Chuck a slap up the side of the head and tell him it's from me for not calling me back
