I received a new sight pin, so installed and tested it out. The AAE Gold Aiming Aperture isn't cheap by most peoples standard, but it does come with a good array of features. The pin has a similarly sized ring to the stock Shibuya pin that comes with the Ultima Recurve but the main 'feature' really is that it has a 0.019" (or 0.5mm) fibre optic pin. The problem I had with the Shibuya is that their pin comes with a curled spring metal insert with an orange blob that was just simply way too big to be of any decent use. It wasn't an overaiming issue but rather obscured vision too much for my preferences. I had replaced it with the end of a tailors pin I put in, but this 0.019" fibre makes that look obese.
The fibre holder is very snug, and in the kit it comes with a pink/orange, blue, yellow/green fibres. Up to you what you want to use, I switched out the defaulted pink to the green. It has a soft plastic sleeve to thread the fibre into, and there are two attachment points for the sleeve that hold it quite firmly.
The quality of the fibre is also really great, it isn't a brittle fibre like the fibres that used to come with the Titan Scope that I have, quite soft, flexible and suits this application perfectly. In average-moderate light conditions, its bright, and in sunny conditions, it looks like a LED light source. Originally a concern that it might be too bright.
It seemed to be okay shooting at home, so will put it to the test out on the range.
