Also the pins wrap around the sight guard and they make an awful vibration when you shoot. I put this sight on a drenalin last spring and had to take the bow back to the shop to find out where all the noise was coming from. After a little investigation we found out it was the pins. I give the sight a poor poor rating.

When it comes to sights I find you really do get what you pay for. Having used several brands in a few short years I am now VERY happy with my Spot-Hogg Hogg-It. I have almost $200 in this sight with the wrap and a light. When I pinched pennies I wasn't very happy with what I had.

that isnt always true, i bought a tru glo extreme sight, but it wasnt the not all wrench one, you have to use a allen wrench to adjust it, and it has been great, the pins are super bright, and its pretty durable.
