Hunting bow sights

The best bow sight for hunting

Choosing the best bow sight for your hunting needs to be based on the type of hunting you do. There is a sight for every type of hunting, but there is also a sight for every type of hunting. If you are a bowhunter and like to aim high, such as up a tree or in the corner of a blind, a standard pin sight will meet your needs. A standard three- or five-pin sight is easier to install and aim. They also usually have excellent durability, so you can use them season after season. However, if you are a hunter who likes to weave through the landscape to find your game, you will often be shooting over a long distance. In this case, a moving rod sight is a better choice. This type of bow sight can be adjusted to the nearest metre.

As bow sights have undergone a major evolution recently, technology enthusiasts can now opt for a digital bow sight or an electronic hunting bow sight. This type of bow sight integrates rangefinders allowing a better shooting configuration. It also has the advantage of being adaptable to a wide variety of hunting styles. The technology has continued to improve and today's sights are more complex, but they have proven to be the most effective in improving the accuracy of hunting archery. The ability to adjust by the metre, or to micro-adjust height and drift, not to mention electronic telemetry, are all features that make a hunting bow sight even more accurate, more reliable, and of course, easier to use.

However, classic sights, such as a single-pin bow sight, remain a powerful accessory. It offers the advantage of simplifying the sight picture and makes it even more intuitive being a single pin sight. Higher technology bow sights, such as fibre optic sights, multi-pin sights, laser bow sights or electronic sights make it easier to mark game with bright fibre optics and a range of pin configurations. The most important thing is to choose a quality hunting bow with a sight that will help you become a better shooter. A quality sight is defined by its ease of adjustment to your hunting style, as well as by its clear and precise aiming points, even in low light conditions. It should also not come off your bow easily, even on difficult hunts.

What to choose for a recurve bow sight?

If you are looking for a recurve bow sight, you should know that there are three types of sights suitable for this type of bow. Firstly, there is the open ring sight, which is easy to use, but does not offer great accuracy, especially when shooting at long distances. Secondly, the rod sight, which can be single or multiple rod, is particularly designed for shooting at specific distances. However, the rod sight will be more suitable for static targets.

For a recurve hunting bow, the multi-pin sight or multi-point sight is recommended. It effectively allows you to choose a pin that will be able to provide perfect accuracy over a predetermined distance. Finally, you can opt for a hunting bow with a target sight. Like the laser bow sight and the electronic bow sight, it allows very fine and therefore more precise vertical and drift adjustments. The recurve bow target finder is the most advanced in its class, incorporating a variety of advanced features such as retina technology, micro-adjustments for height and wind direction, among others. Best of all, the recurve bow target sight can be combined with other sights to provide the ultimate in shooting accuracy.

To choose the best bow sight for a compound or recurve bow, you can always ask a professional archer.
