Title: Bow sight recommendation
Post by: vandeman17 on February 05, 2014, 12:30:19 PM: I am thinking about upgrading to a new bow this spring. Even if I don't do that, I plan to upgrade my sight and maybe rest on my current bow. I would like to keep it at the $100 or less range if possible. My sight now is a 5 pin tru glow lower end quality sight. I have thought about going with the single pin sight but am just worried about the idea of drawing back and having the critter move and not being able to adjust. Thoughts?

Years ago I used a Fine line crosshair sight, Loved it. The point is, there is nothing wrong with a lower cost sight, It's all about the person operating the equipment, shooting form, etc. :twocents:

They sell different size pins if a guy wants something different. You can order your sight from them on the web set up with pin size and colors of your choice.

They are rugged and built like a tank, but heavy.

Before that I ran Copper John and they always performed just fine. Never had any issues.

And I don't consider my hunting style as abusing it in any way, not even close. I have cracked the purple cover every year & replaced it, also had fiber optic troubles with sagging & breakage. I even keep a small sock over it for protection while hiking. They do send me two new covers etc every time I send an email to Montana for free but I feel it should be a lot tougher.
