Default New Rear Sight

Well I just hate peep sights, and I've tried shooting with just the front pins but can't get consistance. So I've found a sight called a Hind Sight http://www.hindsightco.com. It came in Saturday, I was going hunting that evening so I waited to install it on Sunday. It was a real pain in the ole butt to get all aligned but after an hour or so I was grouping pretty good, but was tired so I wasn't sure about the fine tuning.

Got it fine tuned this evening and I think I'm going to like it a lot. Sure does make you hold the bow and anchor in the same place every time or you can't align the front and rear sights to each other. It didn't take long to really start getting tight groups, now all I have to do is work some more on releasing consistant (I'm shooting fingers)

So has anyone else tried one of these and if so do you have any other pointer?

After I posted last night I went back out for some completely dark shooting and it worked awesome. Between the glow in the dark rear and lighted front sights and the red light I've got attached, them pigs better watch out. I was shooting my 3D buck and was making kill shots with no problem. Now all I need to do is test it under some real hunting conditions, and that might happen Thursday evening if I can get out of work on time.

When I get home this evening I'll take some pictures of my setup for everyone to see.

Here are the pics I promised. The second one isn't great as it is a real pain to get the sights lined up through a camera...
