I currently use a Bear Encounter compound bow with the basic whisker biscuit and 3 pins TR sight. It's adequate, but after a while I feel frustrated by the lack of advance features and fine adjustments. I currently eyeing for a Axcel Accutouch sight and a NAP Apache drop away rest. But the sight alone is almost the same price as my bow. So what you guys think? Is it worth my money if I invest in this sight? or do you think that I can do just as well with a cheaper sight and I need a more expensive bow to match with the expensive sight?
I'm using the Axcel Vision sight and I like it a lot. It's about $100 less and I find it to be a great hunting sight. I also use the NAP Apache rest and think that it is a good bang for your buck. I do think that upgrading would be great but you don't have to go as far as you were talking. Getting new stuff is so much fun!!!!!
I'm looking for a single pin slider sight with a dovetail mount that can also double as a proper target sight since I recently started to compete in local archery tournament. I currently looking at Axcel Accutouch Carbon Pro and Hogg Father. Can you suggest a similar but cheaper alternative?
Any of the hha optimizers will do good for you. I have the king pin now an won't trade it for anything Sent from my SM-G928V using Tapatalk
They might be expensive but they should hold up and you would be able to put them on a new bow if/when you would get one
I bought my last new bow in 2013. The bow itself was $700. When I went to check out the total was $1700. I did get 6 arrows ($15 each) a soft bow case ($40) and a new release ($120) so after taxes I spent about $700 on a sight, quiver, rest and stabilizer. First time in my life I had all higher quality archery stuff and it made a giant difference in my shooting. I went from getting nervous shooting at 35 not knowing if I would hit the target with my old rig to only wanting to shoot at 40, 50 and 60 because 20, and 30 were too easy.
This. I upgraded my three pin Fuse sight to a MBG Ascent Ambush and my rest from a QAD Hunter to a Smackdown Pro for around $165 via the AT classifieds.
What type of tournament shooting? Reason being if you are basically shooting fixed distances, having the adjustable sight doesn't really provide any benefit that I can see. I would probably start first with upgrading of the rest, and seeing how that goes. You may discover that you can get by with a slightly cheaper sight.
