CBE Tek Hybrid in Cerakote shipping now

[Bowhuntr64]

Just heard from CBE that they are shipping orders of their Tek Hybrid Sights in Cerakote (Patriot Brown) today and tomorrow. Yay!

 

[Craig Van Arsdale]

Nice! Hopefully I'll be getting a call from Evan this week on mine.

Me, too! He ordered mine as well. I keep bugging him about it. He's probably more excited than I am to get it in, just so I'll stop calling him and asking him about it.

 

[Bill in MI]

Can't wait to get mine. I have cerakote on a custom rifle and it cut down the glare nicely. tic toc

That's cool to hear, about the rifle. What are some of the other advantages of Cerakote?

Protects metal from weather, corrosion, rust, etc. And it quiets it down as it soaks in vibration

I was also sent this link to a cool page about the advantages of Cerakote: http://www.cerakoteguncoatings.com/testing/

I've read from a few guys that have received their Tek Hybrids that the pins are no where as bright as the BG pins. I also have one on order but not really something I want to hear as I do not like to use lights. May have to go back to my Scent if that is the case.

 

[Bowhuntr64]

Yeah, I have seen the pins; they are not as bright as the BG. Part of this is because they have less fiber exposed to light and also because the pins do not flare the fiber at the ends, making them smaller and look less bright. The MBGs will give you an extra couple minutes of shooting light...but for those couple minutes, you can use the sight light on a very low power. It is nice that the sight light shines into the fiber housing directly, and not on the pins. Sight lights on the pins are absolutely useless; they create so much glare that you can't see anything thru the housing ring.

The plusses of the CBE's far outweigh the benefits of brighter pins, in my opinion.

Unless your state doesn't allow lights

Yeah, they don't here in Colorado. But most of my need for those last two minutes of light are when I hunt in Missouri.

 

[S&S ARCHERY]

Yeah the CBE pins are definitely not as bright as the BG's. I am using a Tek Hybrid right now with .010 pins and am probably going to step them up to .19 to get the brightness where I like it. The pins on my Ascent are all .010 except the top pin and they are almost too bright sometimes.

Steve are you still running that 10% off special?

I was advised to order my CBE pins one size larger than the MBG pins; glad I did.

Just curious, what are the +'s of a CBE over MBG?
