Default What sight do you use?

I'm trying to make an edumakated decision on a new sight for my bow. I currently use an ollllld tru-glow sight. I'm trying to decide if I just want to replace it with a new tru-glow with a light attachment or go with another brand. What do you guys use?

The truglo's are nice sights for hunting -- not a wallet breaker (go with the tooless adjust if you decide that route). Some others you may want to look into are:

Sure Loc Lethal Weapon 1 or 2: 1 is dovetail, 2 is direct mount -- very nice, highly adjustable sight
Sword Apex 3rd plane: great sight for the money, very durable, dovetail mount
Sword Twilight Hunter: direct mount
Viper Sights: Many to choose from
Tru ball Armortech: Expensive but built like a tank -- very nice set up and very adjustable, bank buster
Spott Hogg: Many options here, a little heavy on the wallet

Hope this gives ya some ideas

I've got a TruGlow, 5 pin. Only use 2 pins but it was on sale in January and I had a gift card burning a hole in my pocket. I like it because it's very bright and easy to see for hunting situations. Used it the last 2 years and have had great success with it.

I'm partial to single pin adj. sights and used a Tru glo Range Rover for a few yrs-good sight. When I got my Ally in 06 I switched to HHA. I love my HHA but I'm thinking about switching to G5's XR2. I usually set my sight at around 22-25 yds. and just leave it there as most of my shots are 35 yds or less. What I like about the G5 is it's a two pin sight one fixed and one floater. Kind of the best of both worlds.

Had a Tru-Glo with the light, could never get it (the light)to stay put. Now have Extreme sights on both my bows.

Currently shooting a Spott Hogg 7 Deadly Pins and really like the site. I've shot Cobra, Apex, Tru Glo, Copper Johnand Montana Black Gold. I liked all of them. I will say the newer Spott Hogg's are a HUGE improvement over the older models. I bought one 5 years ago and swore I'd never own another.

I just got done checking out the Keller Pendulum Bow Sight. It looks pretty good actually. Has anyone ever had any use of one?
