fiber size

Any strong pros/cons of .019 vs. .029?  I know .029 is supposed to be brighter and .019 is supposed to offer you more precision when shooting longer distances.  From a practical perspective in hunting situations where shots are likely to be under 40 yards what's everyone think?

kinda like heavy crosshairs or thin  crosshairs on a scope.
i have the .029 but kinda wish i had the .019 but at the same time mine is bright as hell with the fiber wrapped on the side of the site.

I had an old sight with .029 pins.  No problem shooting 30 or 40 yards.  I had another bow with .019 and .010 pins.  Here is what I think.  For elk, .029 is ok at 40 yards.  .019 or .010 is better because the pin doesn't cover as much of the target.  For deer, I would definitely use .019/.010 pin at 40 yards.

I love the .019 pins, most of the new sites these days get amazing brightness with the smaller fibers.  In my opinion, the .029 pins with extended fibers or wraps can be over powering if you are in good light.

I agree.  Older sights needed the .029 pins just to see them.  My Armortech .019 is so much better than my old Trophy Ridge .029 that it's not even close.  By the same token .029 pins on the new sights are bright like the sun when you need them.  Many of the shots taken are in low light situations, and the extra light of the .029 pins is nice.  I think the best of both worlds is to have the top two pins be .029 and the rest be .019.  The chances of seeing your target well enough to make a shot and not being able to see the .019 pins at the longer ranges are slim to none, but the same animal at 20 or 30 yards is easy to see, and the .029 pins would be nice.

I shoot a single pin.
