Default Fiber Optic Sight Pins

The sight pins on my Copper John Hunter Pro are too small for my old eyes. I emailed Copper John about the difficulty and their response was nothing less than OUTSTANDING!

They are sending me the fiber optic material to custom make my own pins (the option that I chose) and larger sighting dots. They have also givem me the option to send my pins in and they would do it for me. Now that is support that we get only from the companies with the highest intergrity. They are more than worth your consideration.

That said I am trying to find someone on the forum that has experience working with fiber optic material that would be willing to share their tips and information.

Thanks heaps.

I don't know if you can replace just the optics like I can on my Spott-Hog. I replaced the optics and added longer fibers about 7 inches to pick up light better. I melted the end of the optics to allow a larger dot.. It worked extremely well for me.

Hope it works for you. I wish I had smaller pins on my Viper sight. I bought the sight with .029 pins and they are so darn bright that that mine blur unless I am in the shade. Wish I had went with the .019, thinkin about ordering them.

Thanks for the tips . . . I will take them under advisement.

I love the sight and hope this solves the problem.

I have seen some awesome custom CJ's but if I can make the dots a tad larger I believe it will solve the problem for me.
