Default Be honest....How many of you are "Over-Sighted"?

How many have a 3rd axis adjustment on their sight and:

1. Don't have it set
2. Don't have a freakin clue how to set it

I claim both 1 and 2.

I have a Viper with a 3rd axis adjustment on my hunting bow and I've never used it. So....when I wanted asight for my target bow....I didn't get one on there, either. Maybe I'll switch them around when I learn how to use them.

Pretty cool looking sight, though, huh?

I have it and it is properly set. That is mostly due to help from guys on here. Ausie was with me when I bought it and he instructed me in how to set it up. It is a Spott-Hogg Hogg-It. Had I not had his help I think it would have still gotten done as the instruction manual that came with the sight were pretty informative.
EDIT: Yes, yes it is a cool looking sight!

I have 3rd axis adjustment on my CJ and I claim #2. However, the old boy that sets my stuff up knows what he is doing. It is like the tells me, I set it up, you just shoot it.

One had it set and one does not have it set. When I get both bows to the point where it matters I will set it up on both.

I don't even know what a 3rd axis is.

It is critical on steep uphill or downhill shots. Why? I don't know.

I plead the 5thIm not as up to snuff on the technical stuff yet and what its called. Are you refereing to the level? If so I got one and I use it all the time while shooting if not call me a dumb ass! I do have other adjustments on my new HHA , not sure what they all do besides up and down and left and right!

Dumbass!No its not the level. It is an adjustment thats yaws the sight ring in towards the bow or out away from it. It is hard to explain. The sight ring pivots where it is attached to the rest. Does that make anysense at all? Call me a dumbass for not knowing how to explain it better.
