Which sight?

I am looking to upgrade my sights on my bow for next season and was wondering what to use. I am leaning towards a ONE pin sight since my bow shoots really fast and flat. I shoot a PSE Nitro that shoots around 315. I have a three pin Sonoran sight right now, but have really only have used the top pin since all of my shots have been at 25 yards or less. I am looking at something bright and built as tough as nails for going up and down out of a tree. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I also use a one pin set up on my mathews.

zeroed in at 25 yards, easily good at 20 to 35 yards.

I use an old hoyt micro sight with a single fiber optic pin.

locktite all screws, never had any problems.

I've got the Vital Gear Pendulum sight on my bow, same deal, 0-30 same, hold a few inches high at 40. You have to calculate yardage to know what pin to use, so why not just know how high to hold? What's the difference? At least you don't use the wrong pin by accident.

I'd check Impact Archery sights. They have a one pin sight with wrapped fiber optics. Very bright for sure, am assuming tough as lots of guys at Mouldy's here in Eau Claire are using them.

I went to a Cobra Sidewinder this year, with a little modification (removing one pin) I was very happy with it.

The fiber really absorbs at last light. grin.gif

I have an "Extreme" Snyper. Its a really nice fiber optic sight. You can purchase scope lenses for it and you can also screw a blue LED ligh in it for low light conditions.

Lots of possibilities, as the replies suggest. Trophy ridge is a good option as well....vertical pins, could still go with three or more pins if you want. I shoot an Impact archery wrapped fiber optic...single vertical pin on my AR37. HHA and GWS also have good single pin sights...tru-glo is another option. look for a wrapped fiber optic...brighter in low light. the option to add a scope lens is attractive too.

good luck...

      Just gotta use some common sense and have some ice safety gear.  If I hadn’t duffed the shot on the buck on the last day of rifle season, I’d probably be on the ice this weekend also.  Instead, I’ll still be chasing some vennie.

      just seen a report on fartbook the pines resort on winnie had 8-9 inches in the bay.  they did warn any further out the ice has not been checked, like over by the river!!!!!

      Looks like Vermilion froze overnight on Monday, which would make it officially frozen Tuesday, December 3.  I am going out to McKinley Park Friday morning to check out the ice conditions and possibly fish.

      Looking at the webcams, I don't see any open water. Is Big Bay completely frozen over yet?   The forecast looks like a few inches of snow Sunday/Monday followed by temps below zero.

      I'd say lakes under 500 acers less than 40 ft deep. They're targeting panfish. We're making ice everyday. Windy today, terrible roads, lots of people decided that they needed to drive fast and that unfortunately led to some vehicles doing some incidental off roading

      Falls gone Gim, time to move to ice fishin!!👍

      Fall was like a month long.  Maybe even less.  I'm quite a bit south of you but I can recall fishing in short sleeves in late October.  Less than a month later, prior to Thanksgiving, winter arrived.   September and most of October were way more like summer than fall.  Kind of too bad, I like fall.

      is that 5-6 inches on smaller lakes or ........... bigger water bodies. i'm guessing knowing the lakes i fish or would like to should maybe have more. i will be seeing a former coworker who livws of hwy 6 north of deer river saturday, hoping he's got a good report.   he's a neighbor and good friend to CO Fairbanks so should get some good intel. i know Mike well too!

      It's definitely winter, we have about 4-6 inches of fluffy snow on the ground which has predominantly blown off the ice. I have several friends out on the ice as of late 5-6 inches of ice. I work the next two days, will get the gear together Saturday and go Sunday. I'd be completely fine if we have an early spring like earlier this year.
