Default Anyone using " adjustable" 1-pin sights...pro vs. con

I’m looking at the Cobra Easy Slide Extreme and the Tru-Glo Glo-Brite. Anyone have any experience with these sights? Can anyone offer a “first-hand” comparison? Any pro’s or con’s is appreciated? My initial thoughts were the Cobra looks like a well-designed sight with a lot of adjustments, however, it also a lot more working parts. The Tru-Glo looks far more simple and compact, which I prefer, but not sure if I should choose the Cobra for added adjustments. Long story short…..I’m just not sure which I think is better, “complex” or “simple”.

Thanks,
Toby

Deputy,

I like the one pin concept and the cosmic impact looks BRIGHT. Have you hunted with it yet?

I always feared setting the pin at one distance, having the buck move to a different distance and then forgetting to adjust it in the adrenaline rush at the moment of truth then shooting over/under the deer.

I looked at the Tru-Glo and compared it to the Impact Cosmic, it was almost as bright as the Cosmic, but I chose the cosmic because it was smaller. Had an experience with cobra a few years back, so I havent checked their sight.

I am using the Impact Cosmic on my VFT and it works great. I sighted in at 20 steps(about 21 yards) and I' m hitting 2" low at 30 steps(31-32 yards), which is perfect for me. I use ' steps' cause I don' t carry a tape measure or range finder to the stand. I' ve alway used one pin, even on a multi-pin sight, so I guess I' m used to it.

My son and I enjoyed shooting last night about 9:00 PM. The pin in the Impact I think would shine in the moonlight. We were shooting and hitting the silver end of aluminum cans at unknown distances. I' m getting more confident every day with this setup

One pin is really great for hunting. Adjustable sights are great for 3D but for hunting I just keep the pin set for 20 yards. I' m on from 0 to 23 yards and if I would take a long shot (30 yards) I aim 4" high on the deer. I' d never switch back to multiple pin cluster!
