    1.jpg 2.jpg Hi guys,

    I am new to this and I have recently been "passed on" my father-in-law's Jennings Compound Bow.
    It's pretty slick and classy but seems like not all newer accessories fit it well.

    I got a 3-pin sight and the mounting disk has two mounting screws but my bow frame doesn't have these holes (see pictures), instead has the regular bigger size hole so I was wondering what kind of adapter I can get to mount my sight.

    Thanks!

    It needs to mount to the outside of the riser, not the inside.

    It could be the way I am looking at it, but is the area rest mounted correctly?

    Rest is backwards. Prongs should face forward with the arrow centered on "berger hole". Now your arrow is 1/2" or so below the hole.

    Sight mounts higher on the other side. There will be 2 threaded holes to match your sight.
