Large Beiter sight tunnel. I like the Beiter tunnel because the square edges allow you to easily check that you aren't canting the bow.

I didn't use any inserts for a while, and then I had the bright idea of putting one of the bright orange inserts in and cutting out the pin. So now in poor light conditions I have a nice bright orange circle to look through. It works well, when the string isn't getting in the way.

I use a naked Titan. I originally bought it with a fibre pin, found that I was over aiming with it, changed to a plain circle which was better. Then tried it without anything, just a big ring, this works best for me.

I use a Shibuya fibreoptic and a clear Beiter recently with red dot. I would like to try the Titan one day. I much prefer the dot type as I am able to gold it on gold without much wobble, i feel it is more precise.

I'm currently using a black 12mm Beiter sight tunnel with a black diamon insert, which I'm finding works for me, even when aiming off at 90m

I find the variable iris great as well. Helps outside when I am tense and overaiming. Basically just increase the size of the iris, then you cannot overaim so go back to floating the sight over the gold. After a few arrows you relax again.

i use a simple pin sight with the orange tip. It's prefect for indoors where the constant lighting gives me a nice orange tip to aim with, but outdoors it isn't as good. I used a crosshair outdoors last year, and i found it easy to aim with, and i felt more comfortable on the gold with it, but indoors i lost it in the centre of the Portsmouth. I'm considering going back to the crosshair for outdoors, and then changing to a pin for indoors.
