For the last few weeks I have been using the LP Archery Sight Light on my target bow and now I can finally see the pin.

Up untill yesterday I had only been shooting with it indoors and at our practice range but decided to wait untill I had used it in competition before making any comments on it.

Now the light is not cheap it cost me $136 but if you want quality then you pay for it.

I was using an Extreme scope with a center drilled lens and the Extreme light but still had a lot of trouble seeing the pin even tho I concentrate on the spot I want to hit and blurr the pin.

My set up now is a CR Apex scope 6x lens down Razor pin clear fiber with the LP Archery Blue light so the pin actually shows up blue

I used it for the first time yesterday at the TX ASA State Championship and what a difference it made being able to have a blurred pinspecially on those targets that where tucked away in the shade while shooting from bright sunlight not to mention shooting from shade into sunlight.

I do believe that Larry makes a hunter version as well.

The light is fully programable not only for brightness but also how long it stays on, I have mine set for 30 seconds which is my average shot sequencetime so if the light goes out and I have not got the shot off then it is time to let down take a couple of deep breathes and start again.

I ordered the mounting bracket for it aswell and mounted it between my sight mounting bracket and rest. I have seen others who have had the control box mounted to their sight bar but when I tried that it changed the balance of the bow ever so slightly and I want my target bow balanced perfectly.

When I decided on this light I called Larry and spoke to him in length about his product and let me tell you Larry is one of the nicest guys I have spoken too on the phone even tho he did not know me from a bar of soap

He answered all my questions and even made a couple of suggestions that to be honest I had not thought of, he was in no way trying to get me off the phone even tho he was getting ready to head off for one of the IBO National shoots.

He sent me the light package the same day I ordered it and sent it express even tho I told him I was not in a great hurry for it, he also said that if I had any trouble installing it to call him and he would walk me through the install process but there was no need for that because the instructions where in very good detail with pictures so I also had a visual on what the instructions where.

I will rate this product 10 out of 10 and will have this light on all my target bows from here on in.

Blue Pin

ausie, that is sweet and thanks for taking the time to write that up. this is the light that the big boys use on the national circuit. there is no situation that will dis-appear the pin, and a rheostat to control brightness also effectively changes the perceived size of the pin. i can't wait to have this on my set-up next year.

This is almost my exact setup on my scope as well. CR Scope, 3x zeiss (real one) classic lens, CR sun shade, .019 razor up pin, LP light. I love the blue color on the target, but just don't trust that the battery won't die on me when on the course and that blue is really tough to see with no light, so I went with green.

The best thing about the light which you already mentioned is the timer setup, gives you extra reinforcement to let down on those shots that you are out of your optimum shot window on.

Edit - How did you do at your ASA state shoot? The only state shoot I am able to attend this year is coming up in 2x weeks and I am really looking forward to it.

I dont know yet I shot Saturday with the majority shooting yesterday but I never got a phone call so I guess the check and belt buckle went to some one else

But I do know one thing I am mighty glad I shot Saturday overcast with temps in the low80's and high humidity,yesterday was a real stinker here with temps in the high 90's and high humidity, there where only 3 targets on the course that gave up any breeze and they where 28,29 and 30.

Have you tried your scope with the pin down?

I did not think I would like it but now I am sorta used to it, it really does suit my shooting style.

Next year I do plan on hitting a lot more events and gonna step up to Senior Promight get my butt handed to me but it's all fun

I am also going to get a 50lb bow and do a lot of field events and maybe some indoor ( untill the boredom sets in)

Good luck in a couple of weeks buddy go kick some butt[8D]

I haven't tried the pinyet installed that way. To be honest I have only shot it a couple times honestly, because I am setup right now with a MBR rig and have been shooting the local events from the open stakes with the long stab, and pin sight.

My intentions this year were to shoot the MBR setup from open stakes forlocal events, and then put on a short stabilizer for big events. I will be shooting the Vermont ASA state shoot (NY didn't host one [:@]) in 2 weeks from the hunter class stakes for one last time as a sandbagger.

I got the scope because in September I will be switching over to a full open class setup for the upcoming indoor 3D season and next years outdoor season as well. No more pins sight........and I got a smoking deal on that lens that I couldn't pass up so I just got it now.

Thanks for the luck next weekend, should be a good event with some tough competition.

I hear that Matt.

My lenses are Feathervisions and like you I get a great deal on them

good luck to you matt!
