fibre optic sights

[westhoyt]

Hi there, are there any good bow sights that can withstand a bit of hunting abuse, I have 2 broken fiber optic strands and the strands seem quite brittle so unwinding them to refeed the sight pin is not working, I think it is a lower end truglo sight. Thanks

Have a look at these guys. Tough as nails and almost indestructable.

Have a look at this sight, I use one and the pins/fiber optic are indestuctable.
IMO. We have a couple in the store.

try heating your fiber optic in warm water this will soften it and then you will be able t o work with it

Great sight right there.

Good advice - just don't use boiling water! No hotter than you can put/lrave your hands in...

Have a Look at the Sword Sites. The Fibers are Teflon, They dont get stiff an dry out. They stay Pliable in all weather conditions. They don't ssem to break if snagged in the bush. I know of several people up here that have them and are really pleased with them. They also have a Great 3D scope BowWalker Called the Cyclopes. I just got one for my self. It has 1 pin with a light for those dark Bushy shoots down that way LOL.

Hi thanks for the input the local Hoyt dealer has Fuse products that kind of go along with Hoyt ,are these sights any good?
I think the problem with my fiber optics is they are too brittle so impact or bushes catching on them break them. I think they broke when I fell down tripping over a stick
