Was wondering if anyone has heard anything about not being able to see the 20 yard sight pin on the Mathews FX because of a short sight window? ( upper limb pocket interfering). A Mathews dealer told me this recently. But he didn' t have the FX in stock at the time. So I' m thinking; Is this coincidence? Or is he just trying to put me on a bow that he has in stock?
Also, thanks for the feedback on my " FX vs. G2" thread.
I have an FX and have heard of the sight window problem, but haven' t found it myself[:-]. My sight is a cobra Mini eclipse - No problems with my setup - except for refletching arrows twice per month.

No problems here, I use a Montana Black Gold/
5-pin sight. Never heard of someone not being
able to see their 20 yd. pin....that would not
be good[:@].
Yes, I had the problem with sight window and 20 yard pin. I use the Impact cosmic sight which is a great sight for me and at the 20 yard adjustment , part of the lens was blocked by the limb pocket. Had my FX restrung last week and we played with peep height. Actually lowered peep just a tad and worked on new anchor point. Now the bow shoots even better and everything is visible. The FX is a very good huntable bow and reasonably priced.
FX is a great bow. Shot great. BUT.....I had the same problem you are having. The sight window is too small. Other than doing the same thing as hawgdawg there is not much you can do.
