    So on two occasions now, right at dusk, (best time for activity)
    And I draw back on a deer and my sight pins are blurred out.
    Is it my peep is too small in diameter or my pins not gathering enough light or what??
    What y'all think then suggestions on solution...
    Thanks yall

    Try opening both of your eyes.

    It may not be your sight at all. How is your vision? How good a shape are you in? I know a lot of times when someone heart rate accelerates, their eyes will water more than usual or their vision will be blurry. It has happened to me a few times. I was not in the best of shape when it happened. It is caused by anxiety. In this case Buck Fever or an Adrenaline Rush.

    I have pretty good vision. No glasses. Pretty sharp.
    I'm in descent shape. Run and lift. I mean both times I was pretty pumped up. But it was in low light conditions. So I am not sure what to do. If in fact it was adrinalin Then of course I don't want to buy new sights. But I will not know again until the situation happens again. At that point if it was my sites then I will have wished I had some new ones. Agreed?

    My hha is super bright. Maybe it was just too dark to shoot?

    No. There was plenty of light. Well enough to watch a rice 8pt run off. Lol. It was a great hunt but disappointing for sure.
    So a Montana black gold... I will look it up. I mean these sight do great as a package deal with my pse. But maybe I need some fibers to gather light.

    My HHA was plenty bright and now my Spot Hogg is the same...no complaints! But I have to say my next bow will def be outfitted with a Montana Black Gold sight with either the 4" or 6" dovetail :tu:
