Bow sight

If you have a recurve bow or a compound bow, be aware that you can use a sight for precision shooting. It is an equipment that suits perfectly in competition, leisure or natural shooting during the days of hunting in the mountains. Having a powerful bow is excellent, but shooting accurately is even better in archery practice. The Hattila.com Online Archery has entry level viewfinders with the most sophisticated designs, suitable for each jet weapon, and meeting the needs of the archer in relation to its use. At Hattila.com, you will find a viewfinder that meets your expectations and your budget.

To provide you with the best shooting equipment, our online shop has a full range of bow accessories. There are all kinds of sights such as scopes, visettes, eyecups, not to mention the sights with single pattern and red dot. Regardless of the type of viewfinder, its role is to adjust your shot to gain precision and not miss the target. This accessory is attached to the bow window and can have different settings depending on the weapon. Some viewfinders are much easier to mount than others, such as beginner-oriented viewfinders. The more the arc increases in power, the more its handling requires technique and know-how with the viewfinder.

In neophytes, conventional viewfinders are the most appropriate. With experience, you can go up a notch and get yourself a more sophisticated viewfinder like the red dot viewfinder, with settings to make corrections at the time of shooting. The eyecup is suitable for both conventional and compound arcs. They attach to the viewfinder with a 8/32 thread. In the category of compound arcs, the viewfinder settings are a bit more complex. The alignment of the direction of your arrows goes in the opposite direction to the target. The visors are used on compound arches, providing two visible points of alignment when the archer looks through his viewfinder. This gives him an infallible accuracy in shooting. With the scope, the archer gets a more or less clear vision of the target according to its size and field of vision.

In sum, the sights for recurve arcs and compound arcs are not the same and each has its specificity. You can find out more from your seller to find out which viewfinder best suits your passion. For hunting, for example, there are still more sophisticated and more technical viewfinder models. If you have trouble fixing it on your bow, carefully read the user manual that is usually provided with your shooting equipment. Note however that even if the viewfinders can be standard, the models sold by Hattila.com are exclusively adapted to the bows sold by the online store.

Sights for compound or standard bows?

Accurate shooting is essential for any archer, whether in a competition or a hunting trip. Especially when the shooting distance is quite far, the sight becomes indispensable in order to be able to reach the target. For each type of bow there is a more suitable sight. At Hatilla, we don't just introduce you to the different types of sights. We tell you everything about the choice of sights for compound and standard bows.

Sights for standard bows

Of course, if you have a standard bow or a recurve bow, it goes without saying that you should choose a suitable sight. There are two types of sights to choose from: micrometric sights and classic sights. For the latter, most of them remain permanently attached to the bow, but some have a quick release tab. They are the cheapest on the market. On the other hand, micrometric sights are more reliable by design, but also come with a rather high price tag. If you have the budget, this is the ideal choice. At Hatilla, you'll find them at a better price!

Sights for compound bows

As complex as a compound bow can be, is also its sight. First of all, it is important to know that there are different variants. The models are specified according to the discipline of the course. The concept of scope varies according to this discipline, which makes the choice more complex. The eyecup is used with the sight of a classical bow, but with a compound bow it is called a scope. These are large rings with neutral or magnifying glasses, as well as several optical fibres for the aiming point and the spirit level. When choosing your compound bow sight, it is important to check the magnification of the lens. The extension or magnification should be adjusted according to the rules of your discipline. If you practice English target shooting or field shooting, avoid multipoint sights, as they are not allowed. Our advice? Make your choice of compound bow sight on Hatilla easy by favouring mid-range micrometric models with a scope with extension adapted to your competition discipline.
