I've got a Trophy Ridge Flatliner that, up 'til recently, I was content with. Not happy, but content. This last weekend really ruined this sight for me.

On Saturday, right at 7:00 and 30 minutes before sunset, I couldn't see my pins at all. I started lowering my bow down from my stand and as it got about halfway down the tree, a damn doe crossed a trail behind me at about 20 yards! If I'd had that extra 30 minutes......

I know there have been a ton of threads about sights, and I've read most of 'em. Not many of them seem to address the issue of low light. A couple of guys at camp have sights that have the fiber optics in a coil next to the sight window, rather than around it, like the Flatliner. One of them has a light, too, but it's a $200 sight (whew!). They're definitely brighter in daylight, but I didn't get to look at them later in the day.

So, here's the question: Should I go for the longest fibers I can find, use a light, or both?

i a light its the cheapest route to try first and should solve the problem.now the length of fiber will change it but the qaulity of fiber is more important replace the fibers with better ones.

I have had problems with the lights. I was going to shoot a doe at last light. The pin was too bright and I could not see the doe in the sight. Without the sight, I could see just fine.
I switched to an HHA sight. The pin is bright enough at low light conditions to see an animal without being too bright.

Cobras DRM sights are really bright in low light conditions, cost be about 100$ CAN new
