    I have the black gold amp sight. I love it. The housing is a great size to center in your peep and the pins are nice and bright. Only downside is that mine isn't micro adjustable which isn't a really big deal to me.

    I just switched to the HHA one pin sight and so far I have no complaints about it. I am going to leave it on the 20 yard mark for all of my shoot and if I need to I will adjust.

    What is your price range? Do you want multiple pins or a single pin?

    I have four Spot Hogg Hunter Hogg its... used to have five but sold one, so I guess it's safe to say I really like that one. :)

    Bulletproof.... I feel like you could run over it with a Mack truck and it'd be ok. Microadjustable, capability of ordering with custom pin configuration (different colors and fiber sizes on same sight) and 2nd and 3rd axis adjustability.

    I also love the vertical aiming wire that allows me to treat the aiming pin like a reticle in a scope...

    Lots of great sights out there, but that's what I love about mine. :)

    Price is a HUGE consideration when it comes to sights these days. You can get stuff all the way from $50 to over $200 depending on your wants and your budget.

    Personally, I own two Axcel Armortech sights and I love them both. Yes, they are pricey but they are also built extremely well. My favorite feature is the fully armored fiber pins which prevents me from being dumb and breaking them like I did on my last two sights (Copper John and Cobra).

    If you can afford it, I'd get an Axcel over just about any other sight out there.

    I've been shooting trophy ridge for awhile and love them. I just switched over to the new hit-man 7 pin sight this year. It's very bright, also has an additional light knob so you can adjust it for low light conditions. Also it is very easy to make adjustments while sighting in your bow with just a couple turns on the vertical and horizontal adjustment knobs your set. good luck to ya...
