Default slider sight?

I am thinkin about tryin a new sight on my bow and i am really lookin hard at some of the single pin slider sights.I like the cosmic sight from impact and the cobra easy slide has anyone had any experience with these and if so do they work good.Also was wonderin how do you mount a quiver so that you can move the slide that adjusts the sight up and down.I also am gonna upgrade my rest been shootin a bodoodle bullet for years and am lookin at the whisker biscuit but would really like to try a drop away.My bow is a 04 extreme vft and I was just wonderin which one might work best on this bow.The guy at one of the local shops is really pushin the vital bow gear drop aways and i like the way they look and work just hate to drop $90.00 on a rest that i might have problems with anybody have any experience with them too? I know that this is the best place to get good advice on archery equipment and any of you guys help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

I have a cobra Easyslide and I really like it. I used a set of spacers and longer screws to mount my quiver.

I just bought the cosmic by impact and let me tell you what a great sight. Single green pin thats really bright. The only down side was I went to install my 1 piece Fuse quiver and the bracket would not fit. I could have used some spacers but I don't like a quiver that stands far out from the riser. Instead I just put the old Kwikee back on without any probs. Besides I always take the quiver off when I get in the stand anyway. Can't go wrong with Impact, I own a couple of their sights....Very tough and durable.

Icurrently shoot a vital bow gear pro-slide and like it a lot, but if I had to do it over again I'd pay up for the star-tac model. Those fiber optic reference points would sure com in handy in early morning or late evening.

This hasn't been an issue for me though since I set my slider at 20 yards and leave it there, don't shoot too far past twenty for it to become an issue. I did slide it to~30 once last year on a stand that put the trail a little further away out there than normal.

I would recommend the HHA OL-5000. I had it on my AR-31 and I put a Copper Johns on my new Switchback. I had the CJ on there for two times at the range and just bought another HHA. I have the Mathews one piece detachable so my quiver doesn't mount over the sight. The HHA does come with spacers and longer screws in case you do have a quiver that mounts over the sight. They are very bright, solid, and don't make a lot of noise. I would definitely check them out. Anyone that has had one can probably confirm this.
