RE: SIGHT LIGHTS
I also have to agree with Rob. I have a Vital bow gear site (trapper) and when it's too dark to see my pins it's too dark to shoot. IMO bowhunting is the safeist type of huting but letting an arrow go in dusky conditions is opening the door for an accident. I'm willing to bet that this is when 99% of shooting accident occure.
Also I believe this would be against fair chase as posted by Pope & Young.

RE: SIGHT LIGHTS
I have had two sights with lights on them. never needed them, just like the idea. Any archery shop will give you a sight if they get a little publicity out of a P&Y beeing at their store. Then it would be legal??!!!??!!!just kiddin

RE: SIGHT LIGHTS
I have tended to find the same scenario as what Rob mentioned. When it is so dark that I need to use the light then I tend not to be able to see the animal "behind" the sight pin....regardless of light intensity setting.
On a few occasions though, like in a hunting blind or deep thicket, I have found myself in an area dark enough to warrant a pin light while still being able to see the animal fully "illuminated" behind it.

I didn't have a problem with my HHA sight but since switching to the Spot Hogg I felt it was best to add the light.
