Hey guys, Im getting a new bow, and was looking to have some real good low light sites for it, as that is when I see 90% of big bucks.

For that last 15-20 minutes where it gets hard to see thru your peep.

I lost 2 good bucks because of this in Illinois 2 years ago, and could not shoot one in Kansas 3 mornings in a row ( the same buck, using the same trail) as I didnt feel good about the sight picture.

Let me know what Yall use and why you prefer it.

I started using a bigger peep. Single pin sight will help as well

Your Achilles heel will be your peep. Go as big as you can. Just about any wrapped fiber optic sight will be good in low light. I've hunted with both of these and they are good. The Trijicon has tritium in the fiber, so it will glow in the pitch black.

I like those ones a lot Shaw. And it is the exact kind im looking for.

I want one of those one pin adjustable yardage sights too I was thinking.

I can see where the ring around the site would make it a lot easier too.

What peep do you recommend. I saw that one a few posts earlier then I, do you like it?

How big size wise would you recommend?

I use a 3/16" RAD Super Duece 38, but you could go as high as a 1/4".

It's easy to get a sight that glows in the dark. Problem is, you won't see what is behind the pin.

I shoot a kisser button only, no peep sight. Haven't used a peep sight in years & don't believe in them for a deer hunting bow.

To add, I shoot three pins. Close, medium, far. My close pin I use out to 20yds and it is a small diameter tritium pin. The other two are fiber optic but I don't shoot over 20 in low light.

I don't know if it's the low light king , but I've been looking at the Black Gold Ascent Verdict 3 pin. For my use , it's the best looking sight out there. They can be had with different length dovetail bars and different size pins .

small tritium pin, kisser button and NO PEEP.

You cannot see the pin in dim light without it being tritium, and you cannot see thru the peep with a tritium pin in dim light.
