brightest single pins?
who in your opinion has the brightest single pin set up or muliple single pin on the market without the coiled fiber optic. a sight that can be used for 3d and hunting. i saw a sword sight with the light and different size pins and was dissappointed.

RE: brightest single pins?
I've always wondered why people like sights with the brightest fiber optics. To me it would be a hinderance to have a pin with fiber optics so bright that a "halo" appears. It may be a bit more useful in very low light conditions, but a hinderance in regular light. JMHO.

RE: brightest single pins?
I like my Cobra Sidewinder, but it has the coiled fiber.
The only drawback I see to the coil is the P.I.T.A. factor (Pain-In-The-...) when it comes to changing pins.
They are bright, but not TOO bright. Without a light, I had it at the range last year at dusk, and not only coudl I see the pin for a s long as I could see the target well enough to shoot, but it never drowned out the target.
There may be better, but mySidewinderis serving me well.

I have an Impact Cosmic single pin and a Cobra Sidewinder radiant. The Cosmic is the brightest fiber optic I have ever seen. If you hunt thick cover or out of a popup blind its a great sight.

all you have to do with the impact sight is go buy a black hair scrunchy , and wrap it around the clear part. Or buy some cheap velcro and and glue a small piece above and below the sight and when you need to dull it down, just put it on. The scrunchy works better though.
