Default Spot-Hogg Problem!!

I recently added a Spot-Hogg Real Deal to my Hoyt HavocTec. The sight is awesome, by far the greatest sight I' ve ever laid eyes on or used. However, this morning I went to install my Hoyt quiver bracket and []!! The screws are too large for the pre-drilled holes! D***! This seems pretty s****y for a sight I paid over $100 for!

I contacted the company I bought it from and I might e-mail Spot-Hogg tommorow. I hope to heck they can send me smaller screws or something.

Anyone else had this problem?!?

The right size screws should have come with the sight.
I know they did for my Hogg-It.

Hey!!! How do you guys make up those fancy adds at the bottom of your posts???? Being a country bumpkin from Nebraska I need one that says " I brake for tarp straps" Hey! I' d bet I could sell a ton of them around here if they were bumper stickers>>>-------->
PA, I' d bet they simply got a hold of a batch of the wrong screws, they should be 10X24' s.

Gotta tell you fellas, my sight didn' t come with screws to mount a quiver. I' m using the screws that came with the Hoyt quiver, and they won' t even fit in the hole.

Tyler,
Do you have any other sight mounting screws laying around from another sight? I can' t imagine that the pre-drilled holes on th eend of the Spot-Hogg mounting bracket would be any different than what are drilled into your riser?

I can' t check my Hogg-It because there is no spot for mounting a quiver on this sight due to the fact that it is basically a tournament sight.

So you are saying those screws will fit into your riser holes........but not the last set of pre-drilled ones on the sight bracket?

Whoops.....I was just coming back on here to say exactly that. Yes my Hogg-it does have quiver mount holes.
Anyway I ran every different sight mounting screw I had into these holes and they all fit perfectly?

LMAO...That' s hilarious Russ.... I about spewed water on the ole monitor over that one....

To my knowledge the two Spot Hogg sights I have didn' t come with quiver mounting screws, those usually come with quivers.

If the screws you have aren' t easily screwing into the sight bracket, I' d certainly check to make sure you have the right thread pattern before you botch up the threads...
