A friend is trying to sell me his bow. He says it has a broken accra site tube...or something like that. Archery is new to me How much will it cost to fix the site tube?

Thanks,

First of all how much, and what kind of bow is it? Year and model would help us a lot to know.

It is a PSE fire flite...and it's probably about 5 years old...he bought it used, so we don't know exactly how old it is.

Rev, he's asking about a sight. Accra was/is a brand of sight.

ths78, you need to find out more about the sight. What kind and model. Target sight or hunting? I don't understand the term "tube" you are using to describe the sight.

If I remember right, Accra quit making sights and very well may have closed it's dors a few years ago. You might be just as well off to write off the sight and just get a new one. Accra wasn't a very poplular hunting sight so parts are likely to be hard come by.

Also, just for your info the FireFlight is a pretty dated bow so your buddy shouldn't be asking too much for it. Want my opinion? $100 for the whole works----tops.

Since you're new to this, you may also want to go to a good archery shop and make sure what bow will fit you. Fit is extremely important if you want to shoot well. You need to get a draw length measurement and you'll want to know what draw weight is comfortable for you to shoot. Expect to pay a small amount to get this information. It will be time and money well spent.
