Might buy new sight,end of bow season, anyone using the Tru-Glo micro brite I think its called. Looking at the 3 pin model. I like the pin set up. The 20y. pin is .029. The 30y. is .019 & the 40y. is .013 or so I think. Seems pretty durable. Fiber optics seem bright. Comes with a mounted light. No tool needed adjustments. Pro shops in my neck of the woods has for around $100.00 give or take. Quite a bit for a sight,but seems like most good ones are anywhere from $90.00 to $160.00 or more. I have a older Trophy Ridge 3 pin, matrix or flatliner , can't remember. I like sight,but want one that has light mounted. This sight you can put little glo sticks in hole in bottom of sight. Don't know if you can even get package of glo sticks anymore. Never used them much.

If all you are wanting is a sight with a light on it, you can buy the light for you Trophy Ridge sight and save a good amount of money. I used it last year and might again this year.
I bought a new all black bow this year so I just had to have a new sight (I couldn't put my camo Matrix on an all black bow). The new sight that I bought is a Tru Glo Micro Brite. Pins are bright, adjustable dove tail mount, toolless adjustments, came with a light and a pretty good rattle.
The plastic covering over the fiber optics that go around the frame of the sight head rattles every time I shoot. It is just loose enough to vibrate, I am still working on getting rid of the rattle, but if I can't, I will go back to my Trophy Ridge V-Drive Matrix.

Caution, there is no such thing as a "Cheap Sight".
You will pay and pay and pay.
Then again, you may be younger than I and have plenty of hair to pull out!
Save for the best and forget about it.
You will not regret taking your time.

I have a light on my Hogg sight. It actually works best in extremely bright light (i.e. when the sun is shining directly into my face/sight picture). The fiber optics are more than adaquate in low light.
If its' too dark, its' too dark. Who wants to track in the dark?
OK, maybe Mr. 200 class 10 point I would look for...

I agree with you lilhunter. if its too dark, its too dark. dont risk wounding that animal if you cant see your sight good enough to squeeze the trigger. I have a light on my sight, but when its too dark to see the pins and I turn on the light, its so bright it has a glare and I cant see anything past the sight. Dont use it.
