I would recommend a DS made in surrey. I don`t know his addy but he makes a good compact strong sight. then you would need a scope.

Got lottsa $$$ ?

The Sur-Loc sight frames are about 5 - 6 hundred - then you gotta put a scope or something on it, usually another 3 - 4 hundred.

Look at all the "champs " and they are using "sure-Locs". Not saying they are any better than all the rest but................ Mike

yep Sure-Loc is where its at ... a supreme Model will tag ya a about 4-600 depending on where you get it ... a Challanger model is about half that ... and the only differance is that the challanger doesnt have 3rd axis nor quick slide adjust ... you have to turn the knob to get from 17 to 55 yrds

I personally use a CopperJohn ANTS and love it

Target Sites

I have an old Toxonics, dont like it,

Had an older Copper John Evo 2, it was okay but developing some slop in the adjustments etc.

My two current target users are

A slightly older SureLoc, its nice but I much prefer my DS Advantage made by Detlef in Surrey BC.

The DS that I picked up this summer is the latest generation of Detlefs with 2nd/3rd axis and machining like a swiss watch. Not to mention the price is very very good ( He runs no website etc so zero overhead), also a hell of a nice guy to deal with.

go to archerytalk.com and do a search for "Detlef" to contact.

a DS makes a surelock look like a lego toy. i am sure you can get one ..or at least his address at boomans .

I have to agree with the guy's who like the DS advantage sight. (made by Deitlef in Surrey) This sight is second to none, I have two of them and would never go to anything else!!
Just my 2 cents......Ron

That settles that, I am going to order a DL sight in the new year. They look great and I have heard nothing but great things about them on AT.

Having used the Sur-Loc for a couple of seasons and since my worst "skill" is judging yardage, I am seriously considering going back to multiple pins on my target bow. In reality, I suck in the Open Class.

So I may be in the market for a sight myself - after I get of (sell) the Sur-Loc. Another failed experiment.....
