Default Need help selecting sights

I'm looking for a new pin sight but don't know which way to go. I've been looking at the COBRA brand but am afraid the fiber optic spindal which is exposed to the front may create some problems while hunting. I also need some help selecting a peep site and why does the size of the peep matter. I'll be hunting deer and tukey if that makes a difference.

I personaly shoot a Vital Bow Gear 3 pin sight, the angular sighting technology they use is pretty cool. Trophy ridge, cobra, spot hogg, extreme, they all make good quality sights. As far as a peep sight goes, the bigger they are the more light comes through for low light shooting. The smaller they are the easier it is to center the pin in the sight and potentialy more accurate. If you got with a bigger peep I suggest centering the sight ring of your sight in the peep and then putting the pin on the target, makes it easier than trying to center the pin in a large peep.

Thank you everyone. Passthru, thanks for the help with the peep sight. I've been told to stick with the 1/8" so I will.
