    Hey guys, I just ordered a axcel armortech vision with 0.10 size pins. Just wondering what pin size everyone likes and anybody use this sight.

    That's what I was thinking, the sight I have now at 30 yards the pin covers the target. Was worried about pin brightness though.

    I have that sight but I have .019 pins.
    I do have the light but it is very bright and only use it inside a blind and rarely.

    I have the dovetail version of that sight in both .010 and .019. I use the .010 for 3d and the .019 for hunting.

    I wouldn't have any reservations using the .010 for hunting though.

    Both are plenty bright for treestand use.

    I run a .010 pin on any sight not using a dovetail. On my sights with dovetails I run .019 pins. These are both my hunting bows.

    I'm running .019 now but really think I need to try .010. I've noticed that the larger pins look blurry sometime. Then again, maybe I just need glasses. :)

    I have been running .019 for a while, but bought a '16 CBE Tek Hybrid Pro sight last summer to put on my Prime Rival that was configured with a single up-pin in .010. I just could not see that thing in less than ideal light, so I ended up contacting CBE for a .019 green replacement. On an older True Glo Range Rover I have on the bench, it runs an .029 and that thing looks HUGE.

    That's the way mine were, I got my new sight and I'm glad I went with the .10 pins.

    It sucks cause i have to run .19 on my sights now due to poor eye sight. Bifocals really, really suck. .10 i couldnt focus in anymore. Lol
