    Im looking at two sights from a supplier with a very limited range that are roughly the same price, bit of a beginner and dont have access to any clubs to ask for advice.

    Any input I could get would be really helpful thanks.

    TRUGLO TRU-SITE XTRM 5 BOW SIGHT LIGHT .029 TG5101
    vs
    Extreme 1100 Bone Collector bow sight .19

    or should I find another supplier and pay for shipping?

    both are good sights my friend. again i reccomend either one, but just look at the details that they have for each one, and decide which one is best suited for the type of hunting you will be doing.

    Many opinions will be given as to a particular brand, pin size, etc...but I have to agree with Michigan, its all personal preference.

    Now, from my experience when using multi pin sights, I prefer for a hunting setup a .29 for 20 yards and .19 for the remaining (30, 40, 50, 60 yards) and I have had no problems in low light. The .10 pins I do have some problems seeing in low light. I like the option of different sizing, even if it costs me a little...at further distances .29 will cover your spot more.

    Once you hit a particular quality of bow sights, the rest is all personal preference. Many different options are offered to suit the needs of all archers. Like MichiganPSEHunuter said, you need to decide which sight best suits your needs.
