    Mark you Hindsight before removing

    I have a Hindsight Eclipse and needed to remove it to adjust the Ripcord rest, I was in such a hurry that I failed to mark the position of the sight, it is on a sliding bar that adjusts the forward or backward position of the sight. Now my rest is adjusted and I'll have to re-sight in my bow, well I may have had to anyway, and that is pretty fun anyway, just a word to the wise.

    Weren't you going to have to re-sight it anyway? I love my hindsight! Thinking about getting for all my bows!

      I just bought a hindsight and put it on my bow. Have shot it a few times and like it....need to shoot it some more, but snow is butt deep here in North Mo. I wear glasses and have trouble seeing a peep so think i will like this as everything is clear when i bring the bow up.....Danny

        Yeah, I like mine alot, but it did take some getting used to, and yes I was going to re-sight my bow, but just for you guys, and myself, I would have been upset if it was perfect and I screwed it up and had to start all over.

          I just bought a hind sight and put on my bow. Haven't had time to shoot it much, but I like what it's doing for me. A question to those who are familiar with the high sight... Is there any way to set up the hind sight so that you don't have to slightly change your anchor spot for different shots? I don't really see how you could, and it's not a big deal to me, as long as I can hit where I'm aiming... Just wondering what your thoughts are.

            Hmmm.. curious how you set yours up? I use a kisser button and always stay constant. I just raise or lower my forward arm as necessary like you do with a peep?

              Man, great question, I thought the same thing, if I used to have my eye behind the string now it has to be to the left of the string, for a right hander, what I did was leave my anchor point the same and make my head just a little more upright, I was bending my head down and slightly to the right to get my nose on the string on my DXT to get aligned with the peep. I installed the Hindsight on a Mathews Conquest and feel like my posture is much better, but all that said, it does take some time and patience to get used to the Hindsight. I feel like I'm shooting better now. Good luck.

                  I just watched a video how to aim with a Hindsight. I don't know if I could do it. It seems like alot of things to lineup.

                    I removed all but a single pin, you'll get to where you like it. And it becomes second nature.

                      I'd say try it before you critique it. I not only shoot with both eyes open but seem to acquire the target with a much wider field of range and most of all I know when I am canting the bow at longer ranges.

                      I love it!!!

                        I kinda liked the look, but seems like alot to do for ME. As far as both eyes open I do that now with a peep.

                          I have the exact same sight/rest set up. It does take more time and patience setting it up but it was worth it for me. Still can't do the both eyes open thing though.
