Before fine-tuning, make initial adjustments for windage and elevation. Use the on-board pin adjustment tool or appropriate hex keys for these coarse adjustments. The sight is designed for right-handed use.

  • Windverstelling: Adjust the horizontal position of the pins to align with your arrow's point of impact.
  • Hoogte aanpassing: Adjust the vertical position of the pins. The two fixed pins are typically set for short distances (e.g., 20 and 30 yards).

The second axis leveling feature allows you to strengthen accuracy at severe angles over long distances. Ensure the sight's bubble level is perfectly centered when your bow is held plumb. Adjust as necessary to eliminate cant, which can cause left or right misses at longer ranges.

Bedryfsinstruksies

1. Using the Fixed Pins

The top two pins are fixed and should be sighted in for specific, common distances, such as 20 and 30 yards. Practice shooting at these distances to confirm your pin settings and ensure consistent accuracy.

2. Adjusting the Third Floating Pin

The third pin is designed for quick, tool-less adjustment, making it ideal for unpredictable distances encountered during hunting. Use the integrated tool-less knob to move this pin up or down, corresponding to longer distances. This allows for rapid adjustments without needing separate tools, even in the field.

The .019 fiber optic pins are illuminated by a rheostat light. Rotate the rheostat knob to adjust the brightness of the pins. This feature is crucial for maintaining optimal visibility in various lighting conditions, from bright daylight to low-light dawn or dusk scenarios.
