My sight pins are shifting (left to right), not phyically, optically?

    My different colored sight pins move differently! Upon taking aim, the red pins seems to stay put, the yellow move a small amount(~.010") to the right, but the green REALLY moves to the right about .050".

    Yet, while looking at my sight close up on the bench, they are all perfectly in line. What gives?

    It NOT manufacture specific either. I am a tad old and VERY nearsighted:lol:

    Do, I need to get all red pins?

    It's really distracting!

    Moving to all red pins is probably your best bet. Everything me perceives things differently. What may work for one persons eyes may not for another.

    Did you try closing one eye? I have issues seeing red pins so I use all (3) green pins.

    Single pin might work for you too.

    Usually it's a sunburst effect. Red does it most to me so I customize my pins to go Green, Orange, Green, Orange, etc.

    If the sight have wrap cover up most of the fibers with some black electrical tape. It will stop.
    Also going to a single pin sight will help as well as it will uncluttered the sight picture.
