I love mine got my crx cranking 284 and zeroed in 20 got 30 close and fine tuned at 50 and mine has been on the money. And I don't think is a fragile sighting have used mine a lot and maybe even abuse it to some folks it's rock solid.

Originally posted by Beardedbuck View PostYes. I put it on the bow straight out of the pkg and mounted in the rear holes. Started trying to shoot it in. Arrows were hitting almost a full 12" low, so I followed my arrow and moved the housing down since the top pin was a low as it would go. After bottoming out with the housing, it was still 8" or so low. At that point I checked my peep to make sure everything was correct.
After all this, I called Trophy Ridge. They instructed me to flip the mounting bracket to gain a couple of inches of adjustment. I have my 20yd pin sighted in, but it's good out to 30yds. It's almost worth trying to set it up with my top pin being 30yds and see what happens from there.
Overall, I'm just really frustrated with the adjustment of the sight.
Mine was exactly the same to the detail. The shop added a spacer to raise it up. Mine was bottomed out as well.
I think that sight is not designed for anything over 300fps. The reason Is ay that I am shooting 311 FPS and my 20 and 30 are almost touching. With that said my 20 is good out to 30.
Now I will say the thing is dead money when sighted in. My 20 40 and 60 are spot on so it does work as described. I will also add it seems heavy as stated.
I will more than likely change at the end of the season. My back up bow shoots 286 and I may put it on there or sell it.
Good luck!

I have the react one, even though they are different, I'm sure they are still somewhat similar with distance from riser and sight housing and stuff. But my 20-30 are pretty close. But heck, my sight housing will go down all the way and still have room at 290fps. I get about 120 yards out of it. I know this won't help much, just trying to say you shouldn't be having this problem. I love my sight.

Recently had a friend get one on his bow... I like the idea of setting a couple of pins and having them all line up but not sure it's worth the extra money on top of being restricted to setting pins at pre determined yardages... I think if you are a consistent shooter you can set up your pins relatively quick and be able to set your pins to random yard ages of your choosing on a regular sight...

Well, I've been playing with the sight, and nothing has changed. Still having the same problems as originally posted. Called Trophy Ridge and the best suggestion they had was to lower the speed of the speed of the bow.........WRONG ANSWER!!
So I guess I'll be offering this sight up for sale and go back to a CBE Sniper Pro. That's the sight I've got on my Alaphaburner and it never let me down. Guess I should've known better than to try & change. Not to mention the difference in weight......the CBE is no where near as heavy as the Trophy Ridge React.
I'll just chalk it up for a lesson learned, but I am super disgusted!
