Re: The ideal 3D setup
the Sure loc Surpreme is what most consider the industry standard for moveable sights ... they are a great sight ... Once we start talking these style of sights ... expect your wallet to get lighter.. You buy the sight ...which is the bow mount , the bar and the sight block .... then you gotta buy the housing/scope separatly .... expect about 5 hundy for a Sureloc Surpreme and cheap scope ...you can get much cheaper ones .... the Sureloc Challenger for instance ... almost the same as the Surpreme with some sutle differance (eg: you cant gang move the sight block ... you gotta click it all the way .... not a problem but really fricken annoying when last target was a 49 yard goat and this target is a 17 yard mosquito)
That said I use a Copper John ANTS sight for target ....I like it better than the sureLocs because of the curved sight block ... but have to replace bushings alot it would seem .... for Hunting I am using an HHA Optimizer 5519 ... Both have the same HHA scope housing but I am using a bigger peep aperature for hunting than I do for 3D and target ... the scope looks the same whether it be 3d or hunting...
Alot of People swear by the Detlef sight and its made right here in BC ... I have never used one ... but have seen them and they look to be top shelf material ...which would put them in line with reveiews I have read and heard. Google Detlef archery and you will find some results ... I dont think he has a real website .. but I may be wrong
as for bows .. by 31 I assume you are talking Axel to Axel .... Conventional thinking states a longer A2A holds better ... but in all honesty ... with the designs of todays bows ... it doesnt really matter ... all that matters is what feels confortable to you ... That said I use a 36" A2A bow and I am comfortable with it .... It holds just as steady as my older 42" target bow and i shoot better scores with the 36 than I did with the 42
