    I just purchased my bow and have been shooting the hound out of it. I got the apex 4pin sight for 59.99 from my pro shop. I have noticed that after just a few adjustments that the pins want tighten up and the heads on the bigger bolts are real soft and easy to round out. To say the least I am really disappointed with these sights. What are some of the sights you guys use and how do you like them. Please help me before I buy new sights. I am down to 2 pins on this one and am very frustrated.

    I use viper sights, and I love them. I got the 3 pin sights, and they are super bright compared to the sights I had before that. My vote goes for Viper

    10pt,
    I have the same sight. Currently I only have 1 pin sighted in, but it is the second one that I have had to use because I stripped out the first one. I'm not a huge fan of the sight either, just seems a little cheap. But it will have to make due for this season. Anyway, I contacted TruGlo and they are sending me a new pin free of charge. I called this number, 888.8.TRUGLO, then hit "0" and I got a person to talk to. Good luck.

    I use the Black Gold AMP sight and love it. Black Gold has a bunch of good sights out there.

    I fought a new TruGlo all summer and finally sent it back and got the new Hitman 5 micro from Trophy Ridge. Best sight I've ever had and would highly recommend it.

    I will say I had to step up the price range from the TG and so that was probably the main issue with the TG is I tried to go with a cheapo. I'm sure the higher end TG's are good too.

    I use a single pin adjustable OL-5000 by HHA. 3 pins are more popular, but I'm real happy with my single-pin.

    WIwhitailchaser thanks for the info. I went to the proshop today and they said well you shouldn't be moving your sights that much. However, they are getting me two pins and a new screw under warranty. I will be switching after hunting season though. thanks again for the advice.
