Buy sports sights
‘All in the gold’ - this is the common greeting that sporty archers use to greet each other and at the same time wish for the best possible hit pattern on the field. After all, the gold in question is the centre of every target rest that needs to be hit as accurately as possible. Sports sights for compound and recurve bows can help you achieve your goal.
Why buy a sports sight?
In addition to a well-developed technique, the sight for the bow also has a major influence on the success achieved. An incorrectly adjusted sports sight and a sub-optimal setup can drive any archer to despair. This makes it all the more important to buy the right sports sight and to adjust and configure it to your needs. For this reason, we would like to help you find the best sports sight for you.
What sports visors are available?
The selection of sports sights is very large. Starting with inexpensive sports sights for beginners, you also have the option of buying sports sights for professionals, which provide archers with every conceivable adjustment option at the highest level.
However, before you start looking for the right sports sight, you should first make a basic distinction as to whether you need a recurve bow sight or a compound sight. Of course, this depends on whether you are shooting a compound bow or a recurve bow. Sights for recurve bows differ from sights for compound bows in various ways. We would like to explain these small but not negligible characteristics in more detail below.
How do these sports sights differ?
Differences at a glance
- Compound sights are more solid, as they are subject to increased stress
- Recurve bow sights have an 8/32 inch thread
- Sights for a compound bow have a 10/32 inch thread
If you have already had the opportunity to compare and shoot both a compound bow and a recurve bow, you will have noticed that the energy released by a compound bow is much greater. Accordingly, more intense vibrations are released during the shooting process. These vibrations are transmitted to all components. Even the sight is not exempt from this.
Sights for compound bows are more solid and of a more stable design than comparable sights for recurve bows, which are subject to much less stress. The existing thread for mounting various pins and sight tunnels should also be taken into account when purchasing.
Sights for recurve bows have a smaller thread. In most cases, this is an 8/32 inch thread. Matching pins for recurve bow sights have the appropriate and compatible size.
Compound bow archers naturally use a compound sight. In addition to a more stable construction, the sight for the compound bow also has a larger thread to which suitable scopes can be screwed. Compound sights have a 10/32 inch thread.
Sports sights for archery beginners
Beginners to archery in particular usually have a three-piece recurve bow. These bows can be quickly and easily adapted to your own needs and grow with the archer's success.
In addition to the ideal bow for beginners, there are of course also suitable sports sights available for purchase. These sports sights impress with their moderate price, solid technology and stable workmanship. We particularly recommend taking a look at the CARTEL Focus K or the AVALON Tyro Metal recurve bow sight.
