I just purchased the same sight and the shop here in abq nm said they can make a custom sight tape if needed, maybe your local shop can do the same for you as well great informative video!
Nice video, thanks. When you have the adjuster at 100, did that also make your top 4 pins at 60, 70, 80, and 90? Or do you adjust the slider to shoot at 80 and 90 according to the tape?
I'm not sure if it would make those pins 60 70 80 90. I don't think it would because your velocity between 30 and 40 would not drop that much compared to what the drop would be between 90-100 and so on. If that makes sense.
Is the only difference between the Mountain Lite 3 pin and the Ascent Verdict Assault 3 pin the micro adjust? If so, what site head would you recommend over the two? Thanks brother, dig the vids.
I've honestly never have dealt with the Mountain Lite, so my recommendation wouldn't really help out that much. Sorry. I do love the Ascent Verdict though. Super easy to set up and dial in.
I just ordered one of these sights. I feel like I must have misunderstood on setting up the sight/tapes. My impression was yardages could be set from 20 to 100 yards. I see you selected 60 to 100. Guess I'm back to rereading instructions from BG. Thanks for the video.
You can go from 20 to 100, your top 4 pins would be 20, 30, 40, and 50, with the 5th pin being 60 and the "slide" pin. Because your "slide" pin starts at 60 that's where your sight tape would start. I had the same issue when I first got mine.
What made you set all your pins lower in the housing vs setting your first pin in the top 1/4 of the housing? Need to go sight in when the weather clears, and hopefully start practicing longer shots.
EzSkAnKeN the reason I did that is to get the most yardage I can out of my bottom pin. It also gives me a better sight picture with my upper pins, the upper housing of the sight won’t get in my sight picture of an animal.
Ryan Reynolds yes. The bottom pin is my floater pin, meaning whatever yardage I adjust my slide to, I use that pin. But when I move my slide adjustment back to 70, my other pins go back to normal. 30,40,50,60,70
BadAZhunter But how did you know a general idea where to slide to 100 to shoot your 100 group??? If we do that which is a complete guess we could possibly miss the entire target! Did you consider that?
J B J B it was a guess really but you just kinda space it out. Looking at your pin gap on your sight, you slide it down guessing what your next yardage would be. So if my pin gaps are like 1/8”(just an estimate) I know if I move my slide down 1/2” from 70yds, I’ll be pretty close.
I'll have to rewatch the video again to confirm but my pins are 30,40,50,60,70. I started the slider adjustment at 70, because 70 is my "slider" pin. I didnt want to have 70 completely at the top of the slider in case I needed extra room to move up for whatever reason. so when i put my mark, i purposely marked 70yards and 100yards with the sharpie and lined up 70 and 100 on the new sight tape to get the correct velocity.
BadAZhunter great! I have been researching what feels like a million sights and I really like this one from what I am seeing. Sighting in doesn’t seem all that terrible either. Thanks for the video!
Jason N it is a great sight! I highly recommend it. Everything stays nice and secure while shooting unlike some of the other sights ive owned. But sighting in the sight tape is very easy. I should have been more specific in the video about what I did before sighting in for the sight tape. But I like my sight housing at the very top of my adjustment/slider, so putting it at the top, I then sight in like you would any other fixed sight. Then once my last pin is set, I move on to my sight tape, this gives me maximum distance, up to 150yds I can practice out to.
Jason N ive never shot 3D with it but it seems like itd be good for that too. You can set up your sight tape to where it go all the way into 20yds with your floater pin. Which I think would help you out better than my method. But good luck and let me know how you like it if you end up getting it
flushot 09 the chronograph was not correct. Your bow could shoot differently depending on arrow weight and pound and a number of factors. A lighter poundage might shoot 280fps with a light arrow and have less drop at 100 yards. A heavy poundage bow might shoot 280fps with a heavy arrow and have more drop at 100yds.

Okay, I now see the method used. Thanks again.
Robert Hancock ok glad you understood. Any other questions feel free to ask
Looks dialed to me! Come on September 🏹🏹🏹
Good job
Gethushin hat love it
Shannon Elliott love those guys and what they do!

That at the range in safford?
Great video. I am in AZ what range is this? I just go to the one in south chandler but I don't think they go out to 100
This range is in Safford. About 3 hours east of the PHX area

Where is this at in AZ?

When shooting at 100 yards, were you using the same pin you originally shot 70 with?
Ryan Reynolds yes. The bottom pin is my floater pin, meaning whatever yardage I adjust my slide to, I use that pin. But when I move my slide adjustment back to 70, my other pins go back to normal. 30,40,50,60,70
BadAZhunter But how did you know a general idea where to slide to 100 to shoot your 100 group??? If we do that which is a complete guess we could possibly miss the entire target! Did you consider that?
J B if you’re that worried about losing arrows maybe you shouldn’t be shooting at 100 yards yet
J B J B it was a guess really but you just kinda space it out. Looking at your pin gap on your sight, you slide it down guessing what your next yardage would be. So if my pin gaps are like 1/8”(just an estimate) I know if I move my slide down 1/2” from 70yds, I’ll be pretty close.
I'm confused on where you put your 60 mark, as it doesn't line up with the ink mark... It seems your 60 mark would be way off.
I'll have to rewatch the video again to confirm but my pins are 30,40,50,60,70. I started the slider adjustment at 70, because 70 is my "slider" pin.

Is that the dove tail or the standard?
Jason N its just the standard.

BadAZhunter sounds like this is the site for me. I like a lot of guys like it not only for hunting by 3D shooting too. Which is what I am looking for.

What stabilizer bro??
Last Cast TV I’m not even sure what the name is man, its just a cheap one off of amazon.
Can't hear shit once that wind picks up
Have your dial at top so that your 20 then when you move sight up and down you can find your 20 by just go up till hit bottoms out
He did it that way,
Im confused dude!
i dont know what to say....
Just shoot thru chronograph
flushot 09 the chronograph was not correct. Your bow could shoot differently depending on arrow weight and pound and a number of factors. A lighter poundage might shoot 280fps with a light arrow and have less drop at 100 yards. A heavy poundage bow might shoot 280fps with a heavy arrow and have more drop at 100yds.
That won't sight it in.
