Funny you posted this. I just bought a used sword twilight hunter on AT. It has 2 .019s and 2 .010s on it. I was originally shooting a cobra with 1 .029 and 2 .019s. I cant believe how much more of the spot I want to hit I can see. The .010s will make a huge difference at longer distances.

I had been shooting an Impact Acosmic with an .030 pin for the past 5 years or so. It was great and the brightest fiber optic pin I've ever owned. Its so bright that sometimes it makes it difficult to see the target.

I've decided to try a .019 on my new General and I'm going to try the HHA 5519 sight. I think it will be even better and more accurate. Anyone have experience with this sight???

I had the extreme with the .010. It would probably be fine for 3-D but does not gather enough light for hunting. I went back to the .019.

Spot Hogg is the best Multi pin sight I've dealt with, and HHA is the best single pin sight.

I've used all size sight pins available andI prefer the .019 over everything else.

ORIGINAL: 8pt~Bowhunter

I've been thinking about getting .019's pins for deer hunting/target practice. I'm currently using Tru-Glo's Bright Sight Extreme with .029 pins.


What type of sight would you recommendto me that fits these requirements?

1. I want the .019's pins.

2. The sight has to come in a left hand model.

3. I don't want to spend more than $50.00
i hope im not late on this
but
i have this sight on my truth 2, i love it
its an extreme sight, with the cabelas name on it. mine actually came in an extreme box when i bought it.
hope this helps!

You would love the .010 for 3-d and spot specific bows,doubt I wouldn't try hunting with them but great for competition.

Don't skimp on a sight. Drop your pennies at coinstar or sell your old bowling ball on e-bay, just come up with a little extra money and buy a good sight. I also want to recomend the Spot-Hogg with .019 pins. For the best deal around try this place, the spot-hoggsaren't listed on the web site but he does sell them. Dan's a pretty nice guy andhelpful too.
