HHA, Spot Hog, and Cobra make some of the most solid sights without spending over $120.

You don't really need an expensive site. You can get a good one for about $30.
Gotta disagree here. Dont skimp on a sight. Especially if your going to be spotting and stalking and hunting from the ground for elk. Get an all metal sight, and it will hold up much better. You dont want to discover your pins are broken and the sight housing is all bent out of shape when ur drawing back on your first elk with a bow!
I didn't think about that. I was mainly thinking about brightness. I had a cheap site and shot with it for a year. I ran that through the brush and never had a pin break. I guess there are some sights you don't want dragging through the brush.

try dropping it on a rock once

Just the rugged nature of hunting out west demands more from the equipment than us tree perching easterners
