    That sight was a godsend when trying to match up every single piece of hardware on a bolt....but they had no Eclips. If interested, I have since been directed to McMaster-Carr (another industrial supply WalMart type deal, lol), and they have SS Eclips...A guy is sending me 5 to use since he bought a 50 pack, but if they are the wrong size, I will order a pack of my own....in mere days, my bow will be 100% rustproof.

    BTW, that bow is SHARP....when adjusting the Allen Heads, do you just resharpie them each time on the inside there?

    Ben, I think I solved my problem. I didn't know that the predator "slides" for adjustment. I am definately ordering that sight!! Now, I have to flip a coin on the octane 7 or 12........

    How long did the shipping take for your order...
    I ordered on the 18th, and only recieved a paypal reciept confirmation. The order showed up on my CC Statement, but that was it!:confused:
    I jsut sent a note to the company to see what the holdup was. Not that I am IN ANY HURRY:bash: :bash: :bash: !, but it would be nice to have something to show for the hundreds of dollars I have floating around right now...:cry:

    Wow, those guys are GOOD! I sent them an email about it, just before I posted my last on here. They already responded. The guy is going to check on it tomorrow. He could not find my tracking number for the order, but he said they will resend it if I hadn't gotten it by now.
    IDK. I like their service. +1 in my book.

    Got the tracking number. Bowjax emailed it to me. With a note saying that it was delievered on the 21st. Funny. I don't remember getting any notice on that...flash forward 2 minutes. Call front desk of yuppie ran apartment building. "Yeah, we have had this up here for a while now." Didn't anyone think to tell me this? Really?

    There is a smallish open ended machine screw type thing that threads into both pieces. Any hole will work.[/quote]
