I plan on switching sights this year and am very interested in giving the single pin slide sights a shot.
The models I'm interested in are the-
Vital Bow Gear Proslide (highest on my list)
Cobra Easy Slide Extreme
Tru-glo Glo-Brite single (only for the tritium option it provides)

Any thoughts or comments regarding these sights?

All of those are good ones. I would add the HHA OL-5000 to the list. It's the brightest I've used. All of the pro slide type sights are about the same in the way they move. I set mine at 20 yards and shoot to 30 without moving it in the woods. Don

I have a Tru-glo Glo-brite single pin sight, and I love it. It's so bright, I can still see the pin when it's too dark to shoot, so no need for tritium IMO.

I have used the HHA Optimiser 5000 (Single Green Vertical Pin)since it's inception and it is bullet proof!!! I would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone!!! Good Luck

Thanks for the input.

Sounds like I can't go wrong with any of them.

There is a good deal on an HHA-6000 (horizontal pin) at archerytalk, but I'm wanting to hold out for vertical pins[&o]. I'll add HHA to the list though.

The reason the tritium option appeals to me is the fact that it glows in the dark- as in waaay past shooting light- the time the BIG pigs come out to play.

I shoot the Cobra Easy Slide, and LOVE IT! Very bright and simple to use.

Trophy Ridge has a new one out that they released at the ATA show that looks pretty slick.

500fps,
Thanks for the link- always nice to have a little "insight" on what's new and improoved, BUT my hunting buddies matrix broke in half last week (just yard shooting, kept in case all year sans 1 hunt) so I'm gonna pass on the trophy ridge for now.

Tru-glo seems to have a good repor. Thx.

Vital Bow Gear Pro-Slide, you won't be disappointed. Brightest sight I have ever used. I have a light on it but have never had to use it.

The proslide is TOPS on my list, one question though-

The literature describing the proslide states- " The 3ft of wrapped fiber optic material over the glow-in-the dark source make the .029" vertical pin show up like a beacon in low light conditions."
Does this "glow-in-the dark source" allow for one to make the pin glow by charging the glow in the dark material with a flashlight? (Savage sells a pin that does this)
