How long has the little light on your pins lasted? I left mine on. Figured the batteries were dead. Purchased new batteries and light flickers some. But not working. Looked on line and see a new light is a few more bucks than I paid for batteries. Booo. Should have just ordered a new one.
 
Never had one last a season personally, not sure if there's a model worth spending money on but I just go without now

Last one I had died before the season was over. I went without afterwards. I bought new batteries for it, but now it's either on full blast,or flickers as I try and change the brightness.
There's a USB rechargeable one on Amazon that I'm thinking of trying out. It's supposed to charge in an hour and last for four hours. I've been wondering how many times I'll leave it in the truck charging and realize it when I'm in the tree :)
 
I have a USB chargeable light that seems to work well. I charge it between hunts and haven't had any issues with it.
 
Never really been in a situation other than a ground blind where I needed a light. Fiber optics are so good now that by the time they quit glowing it’s past shooting light anyway.
 
I have one from IQ and one from Spott Hogg. I have had them both for over a year. I left the IQ one on this summer so I changed the batteries. Had a little trouble with it only turning on the brightest setting. Played with the contacts a little and now it works fine. I like the 3 settings of the Spott Hogg better than the variable setting of the IQ.
 
Buy an illumapin
Best sight light you never had
Uses common batteries too
