I have a cheap-o plastic, 3 pin sight on my Parker and the whole sight, not the pins alone, keep moving on me. I like the single pin sights, but I need a better quality sight. You know, the ones that stay where you leave 'em...What do you guys like?

Thanks, Steve

tons of choices here. Really a lot is going to depend on your budget,

I have been really happy with my sword sights. The twilight hunter has been excellent for me. Bright, very rugged and a simple design.

If you want to support a michigan company the G5 sights are also nice.

Thanks, I think I'm going with the cobra sidewinder. Looks simple enough for me. :)

I have the sidewinder with the thumb screws that don't require a wrench for the windage & elavation adjustments. MAKE SURE IT'S VERY TIGHT or else they will slide. This has happened to me twice this year during 3-d. Otherwise a great sight. I am going to adjust it after season because I noticed that I have it setting low in the bracket and it might no be getting a solid grip on the whole thing. Hard to explain. Always used Cobra.

Can you still use allen wrenches to make it tighter?

Was it the vertical or horizontal adjustment that is moving on you.

I really like my Parker, but the sights are bad, I have a few stories about them.

Good luck
