Compound Target Sight
Michael E Crowe
I finally decided to go head long into target archery, only with a
compound, nt a recurve. I ordered a new Hoyt Pro-Tec yesterday and am
deciding on components to outfit it with. The sight seems to be my
biggest problem, mostly due to my extreme lack of knowledge and the huge
variiety in target sights for a compound. Right now, I'm leaning
towards a Toxonics 3550. They seem to be a very sturdy sight, backed by
Toxonics reputation, and they are pretty reasonably priced. Somewhere
around $150. Anyway, the rest of my outfit will consist of a carter
release, a Genesis Archery 5-star stabilizer, and an NAP Quik-Tune 3000
rest. I'll be flinging Easton X7 Eclipse arrows in size 2613. Atleast
that's the setup for NFAA indoors.
Any thoughts on this setup will be greatly appreciated, especially
thoughts on good compound sights.
Sven, I know you shoot competitive compound, what kind of sight do you
use??
Thanks,
Mike Crowe

I would truly recommend the Sure-Loc over any of the rest. In 45 yrs of this
stuff I have shot most if not all of them and the Sure-Loc although more
expensive outlast any of the others I have tried. NO I am not in anyway
connected with that company nor any of their employees.. Just a shooter that
enjoys saving money over the long run..
Hope this helps a bit,

It is a great sight. Recommendation: Use it with a BullsEye 4x Scope!
That will be a great "couple". :-)

I use the Txonics 5000 *Naildriver* but a lot of my german archers are
very pleased with the 3550!
I never used the NAP Quik-Tune 3000, but my advice would be
the simple "Golden Key" *Golden Premier AR 1000*
It is very cheap for such a great rest. I use the carbon launcher
outdoor and indoor for the 2613 I use the lizard tongue.
But after all, you did a great job with this selection!
Only one Question: What kind of cams you will use with the
Pro-Tech?

I got the Command cams It was kinda a process of elimination. I don't like
Single cams, but I don't want to start htat flame war all over again, and I
don't like the accu-wheels because the wall is too mushy on them. I have
shot them on an aspen with wallbangers and that's a great combination, but
the command cams are just as accurate as the accuwheels and they have a very
firm wall without the need for wallbangers.

Sven,
I have shot the AR1000 and, you're right, it is a great rest. But the
NAP Quick-Tune 3000 is just as tunable and even less exp[ensive. It is
probably the nicest rest I have *ever* shot.

Yeah, that is the reason I necer recommend them. :-)
Th command cams are OK.

If the command cams are just *OK*, which ones do you recommend??

anything negative from my customers. Toxonics offers a great price -
quality relation.
I shoot the Toxonics Naildriver and my husband is very satisfied with the
Toxonics PS-100 for his Target Bow, becouse it is very light and has a very
smooth movement.
I agree with Sven regarding the Golden Key AR1000 as you will it receive
with three launchers: The Golden Guide Large, the TM Hunter and the
Pacesetter FT Special. The advange is you can change the launcher if you
change the arrows.

so rest problems are basically non-existant. The Arc system rest looks
very nice, judging only by the pictures. I'm using a Spigarelli on my
compound and it works just great.
As for sights, there are plenty of choices. The Sure Lok is certainly
the trendiest, and also the most expensive. Toxonics has a good
reputation as well. I shot with a Chek-IT for a while, it was much
less expensive and worked very well.
Right now I've got an AGF Profi which is very solidly build.
Anyone want to buy a Chek-IT IB48 in great shape?

Sure Loc. I have been playing with it and find it to be good, but am not too
familiar with compound equipment.

I've never heard of them. Not that that really means anything. (c:
Know of any resources, URLs, etc..., where I can look at them??

yeah there are plenty to choose from, my advice would be this. You've
paid good money for the bow, don't skimp on the accessories or you'll
end up buying them more then once (speaking from experience here). I use
a Nail driver, exceptional sight, it cost more then I wanted to pay but
my other (read cheaper here) sight just couldn't handle my bow.

cheers!!

I am a single cam fan! :-)))
Some month ago I got the chance to shoot an Aspen/Redline.
It is a great bow.
I think, if I would have to make the decision
I would prefer the Pro-Tec with XT 3000 limbs and the new Sabercam!
In that case you get a bow with very forgiving 43" ata length
and a rock solid wall. Best what you can get for target archery.

IIRC is it true, it is a "plagiary" of the Sure Loc
(I have no idea, maybe they have a licence)
with ONE big difference:
The bolts an screws are metric.
(Dont know about the recurve stuff, but for the compounds)

New one on me Rick. Sorry never heard of them. Sounds Italian and probably hasn't
hit the shops around here yet. Where can we check them out?
MCKRICKLEE
can fight it out between themselves.... ;)
The web site is:
They make lots of high end product in Italy. So far I have no complaints with
the sight but have not shot enough to know the problems with compound
equipment. Look forward to the challenge though! I will be shooting an indoor
league with it. Should be fun...
