New sight suggestions????

I'm in the market for a new sight for my '05 Ultratech. I have a solid 5 pin fiberoptic sight on it right now, and I shoot good with it, however I think the pins on it are too big... at 40 yards the tip of the pins are covering a dinner plate sized area... Not sure about you guys, but I like somethin that I can aim at quarter-sized target with. What do you guys use? Thanks!

im shooting through a trophy ridge Micro Alpha 5 pin. i think the fibers are around .019 DIA. at 40 yards the fiber covers a dot a little bigger than a cope can.
if youre looking to get real small coverage at any yardage i think replacing the fibers with a smaller diameter fiber would be best and cheapest if that possible with you current gear

I have a Copper John Dead Nuts 2 Micro - great sight and very rugged. it has .019 pins. If looking for a new sight I would look for one that for sure had the micro adjust and .010 pins on the lower pins would be nice. I saw a sight with these features but the name is slipping my mind. If I come across it I will post it on here

I just mounted and shot a new sight this past weekend.
Axcel Armortech HD, 5 pin custom. top 3 pins .019, bottom 2 pins .010.
I loved the adjustability of the pins, better than my Black Gold Solaris HD 4 pin (now back up sight).
The smaller bottom pins made quite a sight picture difference at 50 & 60 yards. Shot better and helped my confidence at those longer distances. Shot 3 sets of 4 arrows each and grouped tightly within a 9" square drawn around the center of the Block target dot.

Here is one that looks appealing - both of my brothers have apex sights and love them.

Spot Hogg, Hogg It, 8 inch extension bar, .010 wrapped pins with light... subtends 6 inches at 50 yards
I'm never going back to anything else.

Wow!!! some serious choices out there, all those sights look pretty sweet, especially those Apex sights with the click adjustments...
Pardon my ignorance, but what are you referring to when you say the "micro adjust"? I have an older toxonics sight on my bow and its served its purpose, but I'd really enjoy something a bit better...
What about older Spot Hoggs? I know I can find some on Archery Talk for a decent deal...

Great deals on AT! I bought my Spot Hogg off there for a great deal. Love the sight!

the micro adjust, atleast on my sight, is adjustable by a screw. so instead of the non-micro/cheaper sights where you loosen the allen bolt and then slide it around with your fingers hoping not to slip. i simply loosen the allen bolt and twist a screw head, i can adjust it in much finer increments than with my fingers like my old sight.
i will never buy a sight without the micro adjust now so much simpler and i never had the problem of adjusting it too far and having to start all over in the opposite direction or try and squeeze out the 1/16th of an inch with my bear claws for fingers.

Gotcha! Just google'n some reviews for that Apex Bone Collector and it seems like its got some great reviews, and $100 aint bad imho... except the fact that its only got 4 pins. My bow ain't shooting fast enough to not have an individual pin for 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60... (trust me the ONLY reason I would ever shoot at 60 is if the animal was already wounded and I wanted to put a 2nd shot in it and couldn't get closer so please don't bring ethics into here.)
Konrad, where are you finding .010 pins for the Hogg it? I only see them advertised with .019 pins...
