View Full Version : Good Sites?
Does anyone know of a good sight which does not require the use of allan keys to adjust the settings? I have an S2 but it is not really fantastic as it is only plastic housing and a very basic model sight.

Many good types/styles out there IMO, I also prefer the allen key type myself. I think one should always carry a set of keys too all the bits on your bow (you can get little folding pocket sets just like a pocket knife) as I have found and seen bits come lose (cable guides, cams etc.) and you just never know when you will need to tweak your own bow or maybe your mates.
I've got a couple of good deals on fibre optic sites on eBay, all alloy units that you can add LED lights to for low light shooting. If you have a look around theres also quite a few sights that allow tool-less adjustments, Hoyt, TroGlo, Trophy Ridge, Cobra. I think you will find just about all the brand name folks do a tool-less adjustment sight.
Also if you want people to give you some actual brand/models to look at you will need to give a little more info like how many pins you want, fibre optics, pendulum, sniper etc.
For me I think the allen key ones are better for out bush as they dont' tend to get put out by bumps and drops as compared to the others with finger turn knobs.
I use a copperjohn deadnuts and love it.

I have a trophy ridge matrix that only needs allen keys for height and windage for the 20m pin. Mine is a guide series which only requires the allen key to lock in the height and windage as the movements are made with dials. The rest of the pins slide up or down and lock back in once they are set. Very easy to make minor adjustments. good sight window too.
it's just that the S2 is quite annoying and made pretty cheaply.
i suppose that once i adjust the setting they will stay there for a while though.
thanks for the input guys

I use the 'top dog' micro adjust, no tools needed,
simple to use and rock solid.
