warning on Trophy Ridge Mantis sight

I wanted to share these pics on the Trophy Ridge Mantis Pendulum sight. If your looking on buying this sight, check your cable guard for interferance fit with the sight knob. I had to machine these spacers and move the sight out and forward to make it work. I found out later that my particular bow has a lower location for the cable guard, however since I was alreadydone sighting in, I won't change it till after the season, and remove the spacer on the sight.I Also had to shim the forwardsight, because it was not square to the bow limb.I hope this helps someone. Rob, it's shooting great, took it out today for final testing in the treestand, and was cutting fletchings off with my broadheads at 25 yards. here's the view of therear spacer, note how close the knob is to the cable guard

lower mounting hole for cable guard. I didn't know I could change it to this location prior to doing all the work.

Fantastic job Mastevt. It looks great. I like the picture from above. It appears as if the sight is now centered over the center shot of the bow, it's fantastic to hear that your now on and ready for the season. You may inadvertantly helped someone else in the meanwhile. Again, great job.

Well that was my plan, to help someone, You and a couple others have greatly helped me, so I am only trying a little to return the favor to anyone.
