I'd like to get some input on sights. What does everyone think about Copper John and Fuse?

No experience with fuse. Copper john makes a good sight though. Pretty good bang for the buck sight. My wife uses one on her bow. If you want the best go with spot hogg. Imho you can't beat a spot hogg sight.

I use the Copper John sight. I think its very well built and I like the adjustments and the pins. Seems to be a pretty bulletproof sight. No experience with Fuse though.

I had a bad experience with the Copper John sight I had on my bow - the female end of the horizontal adjustment stripped out two weeks before the season opener this year (I hadn't adjusted it much either). Needless to say I had to quickly replace it with another sight and resight my setup. I also found the pins to be very fragile. Just my $.02.

I like the looks of the fuse sight with the elk and the flames. But i don't know how nice it really is. I have never used one.

I shoot a copper john and love it. I like the cap that fits over the sight pins to protect them. It's really nice when your hunting in snow. Sorry I can't comment on the Fuse sights but they sure look cool.

I have had the copper john sight for over a year now. I liked everything about it EXCEPT the pins. I do a lot of backpacking and hiking when I hunt and I am pretty hard on my equipment. This year on the utah extended hunt I replaced all 7 of my pins at least once.(that oakbrush killed my legs and arms too!) The pins bend easily and the fiberoptics are very small and they broke on me so many times it drove me nuts. I finally got a new sight to finish off the extended hunt. Copper john does make a cover to protect the pins. I bought that for 30$ or something but after 2 1/2 hour stalk on a nice buck I popped over a ledge to take a 45 yard shot. I was at full draw and relized I had the stupid @#!?? cover on my sight and couldn't see my pins. The deer saw me and bolted before I could let it down and take off the cover. Needless to say I threw the cover in the garbage that night. It isn't a bad sight but it did not hold up for me when I was hunting hard. I personally think that there are plenty of other sights that are more durable.
Just my opinion

Just so every one knows I ended up going with a sight I didn't even mention. Trophy Ridge Matrix 3 pin. The main reason was the wraped optic cable for light gathering.
