red dot sight

[Al, L]

:) I have awful eye sight for shooting, you older guys like me know what I meen. Ya can't focas the sight and the target together. When I bought my new bow I had a BSA red dot put on it since I couldn't shoot a peep and pin combo any more. After just over 30 day of useing it I will recomend it for any one with eye sight like mine. When I was going to the bow shop to buy it I thought I was going to have to get a hilo sight like a friend of mine has, I don't care $300 seemed like a awful lot of money and I had read about batteries being a problem and my friend complains about the battery acces on his all the time. the mount is the most expencive part. The thing even lets me know when I'm tired as I tend to cant the bow then. I will also recomend the Bododdle Zapper 4 finger rest. ya can turn the bow upside down and the arrow won't fall off. Bad thing fingers are not coated and are noisey. Heat shrink tube from radio shack fixes that.

I have thought about getting one for years but i have been leary were did you get it and how much did you pay if you don't mind me asking.
I heard polington has a good one but I don't want to pay $300 like you said.

I have the Pollington red dot system. It is a good way to go. I believe my cost was around $300 for the sight and mount. I know I would never go back to a peep sight. Sure helps in low light situations.

I have the bodoodle rest also.

The only draw back is, if you hunt out of state it maybe illegal.

:) Mister Big Buck,
I'm sorry it has taken me so long to reply to you. My father (mosses right hand man) had an operation, He wasn't recovering to well and was put back in the hospital for 5 days then I spent 12 day at his home yelling at him to do what he has to do to recover.I came home for a couple days then was back there for 10 more days. God help my wife if I'm that stuborn when I'm older than dirt.:p Any way the red dot sight was bought with the bow as a package from Browns hardware near Goodrich on M15 south of Davison east of Flint. The break down is some thing like 150.00 for the BSA red dot and mount. I was told it is the only system where the adjustments are made strickly for a bow. I have a friend who has the hilo sight from Ann Arbor company. He likes it except it likes to eat batteries at the worst times and they are a bugger to change. He changes his NOW at the begianing of the days hunt. He also has showen me that the company changed the door to the batteries. The mount company (optimizer) also have a mount for tasco red dots.

I shoot a Holosight on my bow and I think it is great! I believe if you shoot one once, you will buy one, they are that good.

You shoot both eyes open and no peep sight. There is a circle inside a circle and when it is lined up exactly right, the cirlcles seem to float on your target, and you don't even see the sight.

It is almost impossible to shoot the bow imporperly. You must be anchored correctly, and everything must be lined up inorder to get the circle inside the circle.
