Fiber Optic or Battery

[Bow Hunter]

Maybe my sight is just old since I'v hade it for 10 years and its getting harder to see so been thinking about trying a battery operated one, what do ya'll think?

I would look at some newer models before I went with a light. Some come with a light anyway. You have to watch though, some of the lights will cause a halo effect around the pins making it harder to see your target.

replace the fibers

I was thinking that maybe the optic's were just old and needed replaced also.

Fiber optics. Get a sight with about 2 feet of wrapped fiber optic and the pins will be bright enough to see well past shooting light. I have a sight from trophy ridge with 2 feet of fiber optics and on a night when the moon is out I can shoot if I can see the target. it is super bright!

Thanks B A think I'll give that a try.

Ditto on the wrapped fiber optic ! I would also add that .029 is a good choice for 20 yard pins and .019 for 30 yards and up. You can go with .029 for all the pins , but it covers more of the intended target at longer yardages . The advantage of .029 for hunting is the brightness factor in low light.

Thanks Radar

ditto what radar said about the .019 pins. thats what my pins are.

Like the above good advice...Here is another sight you might want to give a look at, G5 very good fiber optics. I went from a Trophy Ridge to this sight and love it...
