Default Looking For New Sight

I am looking for a new sight for the Bowtech Patriot. What I want is an adjustable yardage single fiber optic sight pin in 0.019 fiber. I need for the fiber to be completly protected from accidental breakage. Either a lense on the sight or a fiber pin that is incased in metal or plastic. I prefer for the pin to come from the bottom. I have had the Cobra Extreeme slide, Tru-Glow, and one other sight in the past. They re all good but do not offer the smaller fiber or a rugidized fiber sight pin.

I think HHA makes a .019" version of there Optimizer sight and I also think it meets all of your requirements. My neighbor has just the HHA sight window that he put on a Sure-Loc target sight and it sure is pretty - bright too.

Glen, I too recommend the HHA sights for a single pin adjustable. I have a HHA-OL5000 and it's been great. Very nice construction and it's extremely bright even under moonlight. Mine has the .029 pin though. I've taken it off my bow for this season. I'm going to try out a Spot Hogg with the .019 pins.

Why did you take it off your bow? I plan to use mine for hunting

It was nothing against the HHA sight. Instead of having a single pin adjusted between 25-40 yards I decided to go back to a 2 pin fixed setup for the same yardages. It's a little simpler setup and I feel it gives me more confidence.

I have the Same Bow and the same rest ( I remember from prev post) I use the "Spott hogg real deal" It is the best rest I have ever tried and it's very heavy duty!
It's also micro adjustable. I also have a trophy ridge on my Mathews and the Spot Hogg is a much better rest IMHO. . Jim

Well, I went with the HHA OL-5519. After communicating with HHA, I felt very comfortable that the sight will work and with-stand the abuse. Only time will tell. It should be in next week.

I am still waiting on my QAD ultra rest to come back from the factory.
