my post about instinctive archery<\/a>, where I also detail everything you need to know about gap shooting. So if you’re not sure what gap shooting is, or simply want to learn new tricks, make sure to take a look.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSingle pin sights are a bit different, because most of them allow you to adjust the pin to the correct distance while aiming. I mean, gap shooting with one pin would require a lot of skill. So they can make aiming easier if you’re less experienced, but they also require more handing while aiming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eventually, it all comes down to your skill level<\/strong>. Single vs Multi pin sight are mostly a matter of preference. The amount of pins on a multi-pin sight you should get depends on how confident you are with your gap shooting skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBrightness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Many archers forget to consider lighting when choosing a sight. Especially if you’re shooting in low light scenarios, having a well-lit sight is really important<\/strong>. Bright sights also make aiming easier, because the pin is more visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSome sights use artificial light, and others use fiber illumination. An artificial light sight isn’t as good, because it uses a small battery and light, so you need to turn it on and off or it might run out. The light is also rarely positioned well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fiber optic illumination sights typically do a much better job. They basically use smart design and optic cables to enable the sight to gather more light, helping you to see better. The more fiberoptics cable on the sight, the more light it’s able to collect. Note that you do have to replace the fiber every few years to keep it at optimal condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Getting a 3D archery sight on a budget<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you’re on a tight budget you might be tempted to opt for a lower quality sight at a lower price. I think this might be a decision you’ll end up regretting.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe quality of your sight is extremely important, so if you get a cheap sight, you’ll probably end up spending more money on another sight after a while. I mean, the sight is basically the main item you use to aim. A low-quality sight can make you much less consistent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you don’t want to spend a lot of money on a sight, you might be able to get a good deal on a used sight<\/strong>. I wouldn’t recommend it for your first sight, because you should be looking for wear, tear and general damage. It might be harder to spot if you don’t know what you’re looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\nStill, many archers get great deals looking for second-hand gear. Just make sure you’re getting a good deal on your gear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If buying used isn’t an option, try to wait for deals or save up for a good quality sight. It’ll pay for itself in the long run. High-quality gear can last for many many years, so it’s basically a one-time investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conclusions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
I hope you found this post helpful, and that I pointed you in the right direction for choosing the best sight for your 3D shooting. I think you’ll be happy with the recommendations I’ve made here, if they fit your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you’re new to archery, it might be a good idea to go to your local archery shop and try out a few sights. It’ll make it much easier to find what style sight if comfortable for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
