| what kind of sight pin do you use? im thinking of getting a glow pin. i have a circular pin with non-glowing orange dot which is great for indoors with concentric circles but not so great for outdoors aiming off in the wind where i cant see the little orange dot. what do you folks do/think?      |

| I've got a Shibuya pin, the ones that come with a 6" fibre optic. Which snaps with monotonous regularity. So I now shoot with a tiny ring, in the middle of a normal sized ring. If the middle ring is gold then I'm happy to loose

| I use a Beiter sight pin with a clear insert and a red 1.5mm glo rod. I have a few glo rods of different lengths so that I can choose the brightness of the dot depending on conditions. Like Tarkwin I tried a whole load of others but for me I found that they obsured to much of the target. My second choice would be an open ring |

| Cartel thing from Altservices - dunno which, it's about 3 quid. Snapped the pin out, filed down what was left so it was a nice even circle, dipped the whole thing in a tin of flourescent orange paint. Mint.

| Titan recurve, tiny black circle stuck on the lens for outdoors. Slightly larger black circle for indoors. Works a treat. |

| I have a shibuya ultima - the sight pin is renowned for snapping off (hence why it tells you not to touch the ring itself). Anyway, I swapped mine for a SMALL metal ring with no pin etc...  I have been told on numerous occassions to use as big a sight pin as I can find but it just doesn't work for me!

| Beiter sight tunnel with crosshair insert. Pins always seem to obscure the bit I'm aiming at, the crosshair seems to work well inside and out. |

I use a cartel rings with the pin snapped out too. So far they've been left black, but I like the idea of flourescent orange, or maybe phosphor green.

 KISS - Keep It Simple Stupid. Simple rings with a pin, indoors and out. It works for me, so I 'ain't fixing it. |
