Need a New Sight.....help wanted
I am in need of a new sight and was wondering what you guys recommend. My setup shoots very flat and pretty fast. THe current cheap P.O.S sight I have cannot get close enough together because my arrow is shooting so flat. Do any of you guys shoot with a red dot scope at all?? Someone please help guide me to where I need to be....also I will be mostly hunting with this bow....

High Country has a sight that might be the sight you might want to check out. It is called the Triangle sight. It allows for very close pin adjustment. here is the link.

I would look into Copper John.
I have one now and like it, though I would like it better if the pins were a bit brighter.
I plan on upgrading to a Cobra Sidewinder LX after this season though, the pins on it are amazing.

Another vote for sword. Made of much better materials than copper john's dead nuts and the pin tracks won't marr or be damaged from tightening the sight pins. All swords come with a light as well as long fibers so they collect tons of light and are super bright. The twilight hunter is a great no nonsense hunting sight, and the Apex 3rd plane is great for hunting and 3D use with a movable sight extension bar and 2nd and third axis adjustments.

If your pins are that close then I think I'd use a single pin adjustable. It allows for adjustments when practicing or 3D and for hunting just set it for a predetermined range (25 yards) and shoot anything between 5 and 30 yards by holding dead on.
The other advantage is that you do not block out the target with multiple pins.
My opinion? The HHA Optimizer series for one of the best you can buy. I use the OL-5000.

nuther vote for a single pin adjustable. I have one of the lower priced models from cabelas and it works great. I have been using one pin for awhile now but went to a one pin adjustable last year, nothing better in my opinion. With a range finder and some practice you'll impress your friends, unlimited yardage adjustment. mine is marked at 20-25-30-35-40-45-50-55-60 yds. But hunting I pretty much leave it at 25 yds.
