Help with sight

Tazman · 02-03-2003, 10:02 AM

I have a Browning 3-Pin Fiber Optic Sight on my Browning Ambush bow, for the life of me I can not figure out how to adjust it left-right! It says it has a gang windage adjustment, but I must be stupid or blind because I can't figure it out.

Unless someone here can help me with the sight I was thinking about adjusting my arrow rest, it is a shoot through style, can I do this?

Taz,
I am not sure which one you have, but most gang adjustments are made with an allen screw that is holding a sliding, usually dovetailed, bar that attaches to the site housing. Sorry I can't be a little more clear, but without the pics it is hard to describe.

I would not move the rest if your bow is tuned, it will throw off your center shot depending on how much you move it.

reylamb you are the man!!!! I know exactly what you are talking about! It is an allen screw that looks like it moves a "dovetail" bar!

That's the one. Loosen the allen, and slide the dovetail whichever way you need to go.

reylamb if I am hitting to the left do I move the dovetail to the left?

Yeah, what littleal said.

Grasshopper is feeling dumb right now! Are you saying follow the arrow with the bar, or are you saying there is an arrow on the bar?

Grasshoppers bow is home right now, I tried bringing it to work once, but my boss got nervous!

Taz: If arrow impact is left then move the sight to the left. If arrow impact is right move the sight to the right. So they say chase or follow the arrow impact with the front sight. Do this until the arrow hits where you have the pin. Other thing to watch for is your left to right misses might not be caused by sight pin position. For me it is hand torque creeping in or anchor point not exactly the same, rather than pin position. How I determine that is when I first start shooting I usually impact a bit to the right. after about ten shots I'm right on the pin. But, about 10 to 15 shots later I am off to the left. I have chased those arrows enough to know that is the case for me... So if you find yourself wanting to make very small left and right corrections every ten or twenty shots, keep that in mind..

Bees I knew which way I wanted the pins to go, I just don't know which way to move the dove tail to move them to the left. I know it is not torqueing either, because the shots group really tight and the greater the distance the more to the left they go. At 30 yards I am still getting a 2 1/2 inch groupings to the left. Correct me if I am wrong, but I am pretty sure it is pin alignment.
