15 days, and Im thinking about switching sights...

buckmaster · 09-18-2008, 08:59 PM

I have been using aTrophy RidgeTitan V-drive micro GS(blah blah).

Anyway it is a single pin adjustable sight and I like it pretty well, but not impressed with the quality... I wouldnt recommend the sight to anybody now that Ive had it for a while...

My concern is...trying to dial in yardage on a deer, seems like to much trouble in the moment of truth. So Im going back to multiple pins... most likley a Extreme RT-1000 I like the looks of the sight.

So... how would you guys feel about buying a new sight and lining it up two weeks before crunch time? Ive sighted my bow in the day before, before. Im not too worried abut it.

id say your fine, go for it

Man I've changed bows halfway through a season before. It ain't a big deal. Do it soon though, so you can get used to looking at multiple pins and picking the right one for whatever yardage you're at.

I'd say you'll be fine. I have a new bow on order right now that will be here mid next week, and I'll be using it on the 27th for the opener here.

Ok, maybe I won't use the new bow, I have another bow that has yet to draw blood on a deer that I bought this spring.

You should be fine. Hell, my brother got his bow setup the day before the season, and shot a deer 3 days after getting it setup, you should be fine with 2 weeks

Hey Jedi....If you like the looks of the RT-1000. You should spend the extra money and buy a Viper Predator Micro Tune. Seriously, its a better made version of the same sight.

2 weeks should be plenty of time to sight in and get used to the new sight.

I am telling ya make sure you see the difference in quality before ya
buy the RT. Not knocking it, but for the extra money, the Viper is
it.

Well considering he was touching arrows at 30 yards the first day he had it set up, yes, we sure did.
