BBS-AS Shop - Tactile Sights

A basic sight with a sprung pointer contact point. It is recommended that something like a domed tap washer or wooden bead, to suit the archer's preference, is fixed to the end of the pointer.

Depending on what is fitted to the end of the point this sight should meet World Archery rules when used correctly.

Due to the length of the bar this sight does NOT meet World Archery rules but may be considered to be more suitable for a beginner.

A solid, unsprung bar sight with a dome nut contact point. As well as the slide on the tripod fixing these sights can be adjusted by rotating the dome nut. One half turn will equal 0.5mm.

This sight is supplied complete with two additional plastic caps. A cap will click on to the dome nut to provide a larger contact area with a different feel. If prefered it might be necessary to glue the cap in place.

This sight meets World Archery rules when used correctly.

We strongly recommend that the BBS-AS sights are removed from the tripods when not in use to minimise the risk of damage to the tripod head. The Slide Stop acts as a physical marker to help replace the sight in exactly the same position.

The Slide Stop consists of a carefully selected thumb-screw, nylon washer, metal washer and special nut that partially fits into the slot in the slide portion of all BBS-AS sights.

The Slide Stop is positioned hard up against the tripod head and then, when the sight is replaced, the sight is just slid to the same position and the bolts on the tripod head tightened. In use, this allows the archer to move the Slide Stopp should this be necessary. All that is required is less than one quarter turn and the Slide Stop will loosen so that it can be moved along the slide and then relocked with a quarter turn back. All this can be done one handed so that the archer can make adjustments while competing.
