Default Trophy Ridge Problems

My sight(pin&guard) falls off after about 15 shots. The horizontal bar will not tighten enough to hold it. Anyone else have this problem? It seems that if the bar was longer maybe it would be more centered instead of at the end where maybe it's not getting enough grip.

Had the same problem but not as bad as you the TR never stayed tight. Solved my problem by switching over to a Copper John Dead Nuts sight.

I have the TR Matrix and have not experienced any problems with it. If it is new, take it back or call TR about the problems you are haiving.

Trophy ridge sights are junk. This a very common problem with them. Get yourself a Trapper from vital bow gear....they are excellent sights.

try the hex nuts that came with it. If you don't have them, put a drop of nail polish on the screw before screwing in and after you know where to set it. I love mine. Quite, easy to see and love the vinpin!

TR has outstanding customer service. Crank those Bolts down with the wrench if that doesnt work they'll replace the bar for free.
