    I am looking at getting a new sight and was looking at the TruGlo microbright 3 pin sight. Any other suggestions or reviews on that sight? I dont shoot past 40 yards and am looking for something that is good in low light. I am kinda hard on my equipment so needs to be sterdy. Thanks for your input.

    With the speed and trajectory of arrows today, I find multi-pin sights a problem. They are too crowded and block too much of the target. I have switched to a single pin adjustable which is an instant can be set for 5-75 yards with the thumb lever. There are many different ones on the market now, just an option for you to consider.

    I enjoy the ability to range a distance and set the pin at the exact number not a 5 yard increment, or guessing between pins. Another option is the one made by G5 which has a fixed pin for typical range like 20 yards ( good for 16-24 yards then) and the other one is a slider that will then go from 25 to who knows how far maybe 80 yards? I don't have this sight, but it seems to me like it solves or addresses every issue a hunter would have with a bow sight.
