Cheap hunter LOOKING for new SIGHT setup.

[BADbuckfever]

I need to change my sight pin setup, its old and not very useful - especially for quick yardage adjustments. I have to estimate the yardage and use the same pin raising it over the target. I like to keep things simple, so glowing pins and dials etc... is avoided, plus I'm real cheap and don't like to spend money I don't have to.

Any of you out there have any suggestions?

Try TruGlo sights, you can find real good ones for less than $50.00

You can pick up some nice sights for a good price at Archerytalk.com. Look at the classifieds section. I picked up my Spott Hogg 7 deadly pins there for a great discount.

I highly recomend Montana Black Gold sights. They are a little more money, but you won't have to worry about poor quality of ever needing to change it again. They also have microadjust on some which is an excellent option.

Thanks guys, I've found some good sights already for around thirty bucks. I appreciate your suggestions they have been very helpful.

I have a buddy that shoots TruGlo sights very bright for the price. Plus they have a tritium pin in them which are very bright. Just b/c here in North Dakota we cannot have lights on your bows/sights.

I would also recomend the MBG. They are as bright as it gets and they have several models. Also they really stand behind their products.

I hear your tight budget,but putting a set of 30 dollar sights on your bow is a huge mistake. Save your coin and put a decent sight on. You dont have to spend 2 bills, but dont buy the cheapest one out there either. It will bite you in the rear. And yes MBG makes a great product and for around 60 bucks you can get a decent sight.

Thanks elkcrazedfreak, I put this thread on here to hear some good advise. I appreciate your opinions about this.

I must say though, that since I only paid $30 total for the early 1990s (Archery shop guess) compound Martin bow on Ebay from a pawn shop to begin with, a $30 TruGlo sight IS an upgrade from the old metal pins already on there. I bought this bow in very good condition and it has good power also about 50-70 lb range. Packs a lot of punch. I just cant see spending more on a sight than I paid for the bow itself.

Dont know if it will make you feel any better but I paid 200+ for my Spot hogg sights.
