Title: Looking at getting a new sight
Post by: JDHasty on September 19, 2016, 08:49:15 AM: I bought a hub blind and it is so dark inside that the fiber optic on my sight is not picking up any light. I could still shoot the last ten minutes of legal hunting time, but would like to upgrade it before next year. What are others using.

What I have now it the RAK one that came on my Carbon Cure and it is fine except for that one issue.

The retina lock helps with getting anchored at draw. If I ever replace mine it would be with a 3 pin version. Really you need to have ambient light for the fiber optics to work regardless of manufacturer until this State says it is okay to add lights to the bows.

I was thinking of one with tritium vials for illumination or something like that. I can't find where there is any restriction preventing them from being used. I assume someone would make them to fit the sight I have if they are Washington legal?

Here is one that I did find. I am not all that wild about the quality of Tru-Glo products, but this is what I found doing a quick search last night.

I'm there with ya on the blind getting dark. I try and wait till I can't see anything anymore then climb out and have 10 more minute shooting light outside. :chuckle:
