Fiber Optic Bow
Bow Hunting Equipment - Choosing Between Sights And Scopes!
After purchasing a bow, the next item on a hunter's list will probably be sights. There are a lot of different options available for the hunter and it's important to understand what they're used for, how they work, and the best option for each type of hunting.
The first thing to consider when buying a sight is how you will be using your bow. If you plan only to target shoot, scopes have greater accuracy and will probably be the better option. If you only plan to hunt game though, there is little need for a scope at all. Another variable to consider when choosing sights is the location of your hunt. Will you be hunting from a blind? Up high from a Tree Stand? Or from a moving vehicle such as a boat? Make sure to do your research to find what type of sight will fit your situation best.
Many target shooters prefer movable Single Pin sights such as sure-loc sights to put on their bow. These type of sights allow the hunter the precision of setting a specific shooting distance in yards; the hunter sets the dial and shoots. Similarly, if the hunter is using a hunting sight and pin that is set only for even numbers and the target is 23 yards away, the pin should be set for 20 yards and the hunter should aim high. Many hunters choose to add a scope to this type of sight to help, but this is up to the preference of the hunter.
Many ranges have now moved to the indoors. To acommodate, many hunters have adjusted their gear to reflect the environment. Many hunters using these indoor targets use a 6x or 8x magnified scope for indoor 300 courses, and 3x to 8x for Fita and Field shooters, and a 3x or 4x magnified for 3D. With new technology, many scopes have gone high-tech with the newest options available to the Bow Hunter. All scopes have an aiming dot, but some use fiber optics like bow hunting sights; others have stick on dots, or stick on rings. All the options perform well, and the decision is left up to what each individual hunter prefers. With this basic knowledge, a hunter can go into his local archery shop and peruse all the options, try the different types of equipment, and make the best decision for him.

Archery sights tips for adjustment?
I got a brand new bow, and it comes with a fiber Optic Sight and a pip hole. I have Never Used them, and having lots of problems trying to set it right. I thought it was like setting a rifle sight.
First you need to adjust the peep. Another person would be VERY helpful to do this. The peep needs to be adjusted to your eye. Come back to full draw, anchor where you are used to holding. If you have to adjust your head up or down in order to see clearly through the peep, get someone to move it up or down so that every time you draw, it comes straight to your eye with no unnecessary movement.
The Fiber Optic sights have changed I'm sure since I last shot, but after your peep is right, loose a couple of practice arrows into your target. If you are shooting way high, move the entire sight up a little at the time until you hit somewhere in the target. Shooting way low, lower it. Slight adjustments at a time are best.
After you consistently hit in the target and make a grouping of the arrows, tighten the sight. Now you'll know better how you need to adjust your pins.
If you will remember to let the arrow itself, and where it lands, tell you how to adjust the sight, you'll find it a lot less confusing.
Adjust the pins to the right if you are grouping to the right, left if you are grouping to the left.
Slight adjustments can be made now to the pins by moving them higher if you are grouping high and lower if you are grouping low.
A quick trip to your local archery shop can be of immeasurable help. Take your bow and some arrows with you. They can help fine tune your bow to fit you best, but the best rule of thumb is...when making adjustments, follow the arrow.
