Bow Sights

[grandpawrichard]

I went out shopping today in different archery shops and then came home to decide which sight I wanted to buy. :)

I looked at some Spothogs and a couple of Copper Johns. Both brands had .019 pins on them and for the first time in many years; I could see the pins! :)Talk about BRIGHT! :)

The shops around here only carry a few of the sights and didn't want to sell the demo sight. :( They wanted me to pay Top Dollar Up Front for the sight before they would order one, and then I had to wait 2 weeks for delivery!!! :(

Well, dear old Eders had the sight that I wanted, at a lower price (almost $30! )and I'll get it in 5 days; so I ordered it! :)

The winner was:

Copper John Dead Nuts Pro III !
I was really impressed with how well the CJ sight is made, how light it was, and how Brilliant the pins are! Plus I ordered the Afterburner light kit for those dark, dingy, rainy 3D shoot days! The sight should help me and my scores out quite a bit! :)
Give the Copper John's a look if you are in the market for a new sight. I sure did and chose the CJ's over the Toxonics brand that I had already decided upon! :)

Hey GPR, I have the Dead Nuts Pro II and like it a lot, my omly complaint is the fiber optics break fairly easily. You may want to invest in the CJ C.U.P for your sight to protect those pins. Otherwise great sight.

Thanks for the info Rod! I'll definitely buy a cup for the sight! I just picked up another one of them from Robk, so I guess I'll order 2 of the cups! :)

I've been shooting a Pro II for a little while and love it. Apparently the PSE light will also fit in the CJ sights. I am hoping to get an ANTS sight to slide in that dovetail mount. Then I have the best of both worlds. I wish I had an extra $550 because there is a target bow on AT that I would like to buy.

I've been shooting the Cobra Sidewinder LX and if you want bright, that's the one to go to. It's got lots of fibre, 2.5 feet per pin I think and it came with a standard mount and an extension to get it out a little further, plus it's micro-adjust as well.

The tube of fibre optic looks kinda gaudy on the side, but it sure brightens up the pins.

I guess you've already ordered yours, the info is for anyone else browsing.

:D

grizzly,
Thanks for the information about the Cobra Sidewinder, it's always neat to hear what people think of different equipment. :) I didn't care for that sight because if the fiber tube on the side, it looked out of place and gaudy. :( I will say that the pins on it were extremely bright! :) Cobra has always made some pretty nice equipment!

I talked to Scott at Toxonics the other day and I now have a new Topgun sight on the way to me. :) Here's what it looks like:
