Turkeygirl Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 I've been looking at a new sight for my hopefulyl new bow,lol, and was looking at the TruGlo's. There was a 3 pin one at Gander Mountain that I can't remember the name of but it was nice and bright, something i'm looking for since my right eye isn't "perfect". Anyone have any recommendations? I think the TruGlo sight I was looking at is either the TruGlo Ultra Extreme or the Glo-Brite 3 pin? Also, my old sight was 3 pin and my farthest shot ever was 20 yards, but I can hit 30 with my old bow. i'm assuming maybe a new bow could shoot farther but I'm wondering, is a 3 pin sight ok, or would a 5 pin be better? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Re: TruGlo sights? TruGlo makes a decent sight. They're pins aren't that durable, but for the money it's a decent sight. I think 3 pins is plenty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted August 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Re: TruGlo sights? Thanks Chris! Yeah, I think if I had 5 pins, I'd get confused or accidentally use the wrong pin,lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckee Posted August 18, 2006 Report Share Posted August 18, 2006 Re: TruGlo sights? If your going to get a TruGlo sight, I suggest getting 2 (yellow and green) Tritium/fiberoptic pins too, for your 2 closest pins in low light. I'm in the market for a site too, and I've settled on the 5 pin. These are the TFO (pins I want (.029 Diameter). Both of them (green and yellow) http://www.truglo.com/content/prod_archery_sights_pins/tfo_pin.asp I have a savage pendulum sight, with the nighthawk Tritium pin and those tritium pins are awesome. They litterally glow in the dark. Perfect for that last 10 or 15 minutes of legal light, where most fiber optics fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybertech_hound819 Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Re: TruGlo sights? i shot a truglo for the longest time then last year i triped on the walk out of the wood and hit my sight some how and it broke. i wasnt to made because i could still use it and it was the last day of the season not to mention it was about -100 out . well thats what it felt like anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhine16 Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Re: TruGlo sights? I have the ultra extreme 3 pin... Never a problem out of it... Now for how many pins to use, that depends on the bow and your fps... if you're shooting 300 or more fps yeah you might can use 5 but other wise 3 is fine... i shoot around 265 fps and plan to set my 3 pins for 25 35 and 45 this year... last year i had them at 20 30 40 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdvantageTimberLou Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Re: TruGlo sights? They make great sights, can't go wrong with a Tru-Glo, they are priced great too! Chuck Adams endorses them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
