    Where to get some fiber-optic thread or whatever to use in my viper sight pins? I had two out of three get lost in the brush during one nasty trip into the briars last season.

    Thanks in advance!:cool:

    Go to ViperArcheryProducts.com itself and order new ones. (fibers) All sizes available.

    I replace them under a shop spot light. The heat that emits off of it is just enough to soften them to bend them around the pin like the original.

    Heard good things about those guys, apparently they are super bright.

    Thanks Trev, looks like ordering from them will be a lot less complicated than going through viper. Thanks for the info though Rob!

    In fact NY/AL, if your not comfortable doing your own fiber work, Viper will do it for you if you return the sight.

    Thanks for the tips guys. I do know that viper has great customer service. But I really dont feel like sending out crap, waiting for it to get back...might as well learn how to do it myself since im sure they will just go through hell like the old ones.:busted:

    A little tip, takes some scotch tape and put around the fiber and pin, should hold up better when going the the thick stuff!

    I've gone thru the link posted to get replacement FO. Simple to replace on my Extreme Archery sight.
