    I have a PSE Stinger and I ran into a problem tonight with my sights. It was starting to get dark and I started to have a hard time seeing them. Is there any other type of sight that anyone can recommend that is good during the day and good at night?

    Did you try with the light turned on? I only ask as the sight that it comes with has a led light that makes the sight easier to see in low light.

    I did turn the light on but I was worried about using it because if you are standing in front of the bow you can see the light.

    Boomslang is very bright, almost to bright and no need for a light

    I have the apex bonecollector 1200. it has the .10 size pins. it is pretty bright but not as bright as my previous boomslang but bright enough for me to see in the last minutes of hunting

    I have the Extreme Bone Collector 1100. I think they are pretty bright in low light conditions. I really like the light being at the back end of the mounting bracket. This way my light isn't just shining down on the pins it is actually lighting up the fiber optics.
