    So I've been looking at several different options to replace my pin sights for a red dot and I came upon the Sabo Sight from Tactical Archery Systems. The one I purchased was the Generation 2 model which has 4 pins. Gen 1 has 3 pins and they also have a single pin option.

    First time shooting it, I was having a really hard time sighting it in. It was after about 7 shots though that I realized I was torquing my bow. I didn't even realize this before with my old sight but it meant that I was compensating my form to get the shot on target. With the Sabo Sight I'm now able to verify my bow is in alignment with my shot by lining up the dots with the vertical line that's printed on the lens. It takes a bit more time to get the shot out, but I'd rather take a longer, more accurate shot rather than a quicker, crappy shot.

    The fiber optics could use more lighting because shooting in certain indoor ranges was a little difficult at first but nothing a light can't fix. I'm not exactly sure which light fits the Sabo Sight but I'm sure there are plenty out there. Shooting outdoors is a breeze though. Plenty of light for the pins to shine onto the lens. Since I live in California, it's nice to be able to go out and shoot with a red dot sight that doesn't use any electronics.

    One thing to watch out for is the metal housing. DO NOT OVER TORQUE THE SCREWS IN THE REAR HOUSING! The screws are meant to hold with minimal torque so don't overdo it. Less is more, especially if you don't want to have any issues down the time.

    All in all, great choice if you're looking to shoot peepless. I'm used to using a red dot since I have one on my rifle so this was prefect for me. I recommend you try one out if you can get a hold of one. They're pretty hard to find.

    Happy hunting!
