it's a foxfire sight (Trophy Ridge) ,shoot the bow at 30 and 40 yards and remember to follow the shot ,if you shoot low ,lower the pin ,if you shoot to the right ,move the pin to the right and so on. good luck
is it a good sight?

Basically, yes. It is round, so you can line your peep up when shooting, has a level and the pins seem bright enough the hunt until sunset with. However, you could do better.

You should take a marker and mark the tick mark (the vertical and horizontal adjustment tick marks) that your sight is at after you sight it in so you will know if anything has moved.

I'd forget 40 keep it 30 and under until you can really stack them in tight at 40 whole lot tougher holding that 40 yd pin on a deer 40 yds away w/ the adrenalin flowin

I use a 4x lens for this reason exactly. Even in hunting situations. I would not be accurate over 60 yards without it. If you have some extra money, look into HHA when you get a little more experienced. A single pin sight is a lot to deal with if you are green. I say this because someone who is not used to adjusting that sight for different yardages is going to have a tough time remembering to do it when that monster buck comes by.

If you practice with it and do 3D, you will get used to it very quickly.

That will be fun. Rinehart makes teh best 3D targets, but they are expensive. The other companies are just fine.
