    I have an old single pin sight right now and I want to switch to at least a 3 pin sight. There's so many different sights and I am new to bow hunting. What's a sight that won't give me any problems but also won't break my bank?

    What's a decent price? Trophy ridge joker 3 pin or 4 pin as stated previously is a good sight for $30.

    But if you could get into an all aluminum sight, maybe put $60-$80 into one you won't regret not having any plastic

    Spot Hogg bulletproof or tru go extreme would be decently priced aluminum

    I had tried several sights over the years and for me I like spot hog. I am sure there are others that are good to.

    Copper john sites are hard to beat for the price. Brite pins very durable.

    You get what you pay for IMHO. I'm not a wealthy guy by any means but I won't cheap out on anything that goes on my bow.

    I have two backup bows with 20 dollar truglow 3 and 5 pin sights on them and they've been great. If you're looking for function without breaking the bank they've done well by me. I do have an axis on my z7 but wouldn't hesitate to take either of those backup bows on my next hunt.

    The longer I have my spot hogg the more I love it. It is rock solid and easy to adjust if your shooting style or anchor point changes at all.

    I just picked up the apex attitude 5 pin micro adjust in real tree xtra and so far so good. It was about 80$ on eBay. Honestly tho there are a lot of good sights out there for cheaper than that

    I would give the Trophy Ridge joker lineup a good look.
