sight question

[total disaster]

I have been out of bow hunting for a few years and I was never happy with the pin sight I had mainly because I could never get pins close enough for what yardage I wanted....I have been looking on cabelas and bass pro and I see sights that are cheap and some worth a small fortune IMO and cant see or do i know the difference ?

so my question is what is the difference in cheap to expensive bow sights and what should I look for in a quality sight ?

thanks

Visibility mainly, its the quality of fiber optics that is used. So far, the best I have seen are the Extreme sights and they aren't alot of money. I used Copper John for years and finally last year went tot he extreme sights. I haven't regretted it going to them. Some other cost of the more expensive sight are the 3rd axis adjustment, company who makes them, and just the whole quality of the sight. Cheaper ones will tend to strip out the threads after a few adjustments and your looking at buying a new one again. Persoanlly I think it's worth the money to go ahead and buy a mid-line priced sight like the extreme. They generally run aroudn 60.00 and well worth it.

thanks for reply! another thing I notice is the micro adjust ... I am in no rush to buy so i am just gonna gain info and make a smart decision on what advice I get and personal preference

That is just an added feature for gang adjustment of all the sights, and some of them come with micro-adjust for individual pins. When adjusting a sight with the dove tail style, it is a bit tedious to do so but you very seldlom have to gang adjust all of your sight pins. In my opinion, it isn't worth the extra money for the micro adjust. There are alot of great sights out there but all the bells and whistles aren't needed.
