The copper Johns are great but as BT said you can buy allot of Truglos or Cobra for the money . Tracey is shooting a TruGlo and I have a Cobra Which I added extra pins to also to get ready for our Montana trip.

We have had great luck with the MT Blackgold's, they are spendy but the factory is only 150 miles from us and if we have a problem they replace it or fix it at no cost. They had a bad batch of covers and replaced them on both of elkcrazy's sights while we waited. Great customer service!

I used the Black gold trap door and a couple of thier sights and liked them just fine. The only issue I had was with the launcher arm on the trap door. I love the concept. The dusk devil works well and I had a few other sights from them for the bows but as I alluded to earlier....I am a creature of change

Me too, this is the brand I started out with and with the exception of the Spott Hogg I won on WE, it is the only brand I have used.

Have you had any issues with the new launcher arm? .... actually new is 3 years back I guess. I had wear from the arrow...it would grove out the launcher. Also the launcher break straight across where the holding bolts for that same launcher. The break happened on the day I had a perfect shot on a turkey and the arrow ended up missing the birds entire body at the distance where it stood. I think I changed right after that

I use a micro peep. I cant group well with those huge peeps that most people use. That being said....I am going to the No-Peep for hunting....again. I trust that device more than a peep

I've used MBG sights for some time too. Have a Dusk Devil on the wife's bow and she likes it a lot. I have used the FlashPoint for a couple of years now, but I keep getting a vibration noise from the plastic covering over the coil and fibers. I tighten up the screws and it goes away, but when the temperature changes, it comes back. It is has been relegated as my back up sight. I could send it in I suppose, but the package I got it in said that although they cover all their sights for life, it did not include any of the Skycoil parts or fibers. I ordered a new Sword sight for my new Pearson bow. It looks to be a pretty good value. Feels very sturdy; even the LED light that came with it feels overbuilt. It is a basic sight, but you can choose the size of fibers you want and mix and match the colors. I thought I'd try .010 fibers in red and blue to see how I like them. I got the entire sight with light for $87.
