I have the impact cosmic xl it's a single pin. I like it because its bright but I really hate it because its a pain to adjust when a deer is in close so I want to change back to a 3 or 5 pin does anyone have any good ideas. I don't want cheap plastic sights but I also don't want to spend an arm-n-leg. I was thinking about the Trophy Ridge or Dead Nuts.

Spot-Hogg!!!!!! Toughest sight out there.

I will second this, but they are kind of pricey.

Hey Iowboy i have the same sight as you and love it. I set the pin at 20 yrds. and if the deer is a 10-15 just aim low if he is at 30 yrds. aim a little high. It does take a while to get used to but after you practice a lot you will know right were to put the pin on the deer.

Take a look at the Vital Bow Gear Trapper. It's by far the best sight I have ever used.

Spot-Hogg. You can pick up the 'Right-On' for $100 or less. Kind
of like optics....once you've spent the money, you'll be glad you
did.

I have the Spott Hogg Real Deal and although it's a great sight I don't like it for hunting unless you buy the bright lite to go with it ,I was looking at them yesterday and the sight was $175.00 for the sight and another $27.00 for the light {Canadian price} yes and this is pricey.I also have the Impact Archery Cosmic and i love it for hunting ,the more you use it the more you learn on how to compensate for your various range's, so I have to agree with Deer-hunter 18 on this ,but I definetly really like the Cosmic it's one of the best hunting sight's that i've used . I don't waste my time trying to adjust it because you have to loosen both screw's off and I do agree that it is a pain. It's too bad Impact Archery wouldn't come out with a better sysem where you only have to adjust one screw .

Nubo, the new Impact Archery sights only use one screw. I am glad they went to that. The 2 screws IMO was a major design flaw. I usually just untighten each screw just enought that I can slide it if need be. I leave it like that while hunting. Also, the new sights have built in yardage markers for 3 distances. That is pretty cool. You can move the marker up or down to perfectly sight in your pin. A great company IMO.


Also, many people complain about having to adjust the sight. I guess in some instances it could be a pain. But I have been bowhunting for over 14 years and I have only shot a few deer over 20yds. So, I rarely have to shoot other than my 20yds pin anyway. For thick eastern or northern woods whitetails, a 20yd pin is really all you will ever need.

If you zero at 25 yds you should be good all the way out to 30 and all the way in to 5. That's my experience anyway. I shoot an Impact Archery Omega XL and love it.

If brightness and multiple pins are your priority, you should consider the Cobra Sidewinder. I am told that Impact Archery licenses their fiber optic technology to Cobra. Cobra has included the 2+ feet of fiber for each pin technology in the Sidewinder that has many of the same features found in other sights offered by Spott Hogg, Copper John's, etc. I find the price for the 3-pin Sidewinder to be reasonable compared to other 3-pin sights with similar features.
