HHA single pin sight PROBLEM

[RedSeal]

The holes that your rest screw into on the riser.

Normally you want to set up where the arrow is dang near covering the holes when you look at the rig from the side (with the arrow at rest).

A bow can be tuned to shoot great with the arrow above or below the holes, but doing so will also bring the sight housing up or down with the initial set up to match the flight of the arrow above or below the center of the riser.
Used to be the bow was set up where the arrow rest placed the arrow directly beside the berger holes to establish the knocking point of the arrow. Move the rest up a 1/4 or 1/2 inch and everything else will follow (knocking point and peep sight) but then your sights will also be higher than need be.

I always felt the arrow needed to be nearest center of the string to provide the longest power stroke the bow had to offer (this = speed and level nock travel) . Single cams used to want the nock high to provide good flight since the nock travel on most single cams wasn't as straight as dual cam/ hybrid cam models.

To exaggerate the example. Let’s say you moved your arrow rest up 1", nock up 1" and peep up 1". The bow could still be tuned to shoot bullet hole arrows, but this means your sight would be higher than normal as well to accommodate the arrows leaving the riser higher than designed.

On the opposite end, if you are shooting a drop away and the drop allows your arrow to fall below square while leaving the string the arrow will land lower on the target than if the drop was tuned to have the arrow leave higher or normal level as it exits the bow.

To test this- If you are shooting a drop away- - shoot a bare shaft arrow through the drop away at the target. Then shoot another bare shaft with the drop away held in the up position (a chunk of foam is what I used) and see if the arrow lands with, higher or lower than the other arrow.

But heck, if everything else is good, just slap on the drop down bar you have coming in the mail and get to shooting.

What you'll have to watch out for next is making sure the drop down bar doesn't place the sight in your arrow/ vane flight path.

What will most likely happen when you add the drop down bar is you'll need to now raise the sight elevation holes to bring the adjustment slide to a full range of use- the desired 20 at the bottom.

I hope some of my ramblings are making sense (I know what I'm trying to say )

I dont think he could of said it better i had to do this when i went with the hha!

Thanks for the long informative post. I will have to read it and sit down with my sight when I get time
Thanks for all the help

[mhbaseball]

got my little bracket extension in the mail today!!!! will sight it in hopefully within the next week

[mhbaseball]

so I recieved the additional bracket and I dont know how to attach it because it only has 3 additional holes which wont get me much more since I have to attach 2 of them to the old base. I will have to call HHA tomorrow

Did you get this fixed?

[huntquest]

I have a HHA OL-5000 on my bow with no issues at all. I have a 70yd mark on my dial and I still have some wheel left. I bet I can get out to 90yd with my HHA sight!

Here are a couple of shots I took in front of are guide Rick as a witness at Boazman's Bowhunting the first week of March. I ranged the target at 70 yards and my HHA OL-5000 was right dead on!!

My Elite is the same way. My 20 yard setting starts about in the middle of the adjustment range. My 60 yard setting is only about 1/2" above the 20 yard setting. You would be surprised how little you have to move the slider to make a big difference on the other end.

With 380 gain arrows I can get 115 with my full metal jackets its about 90 max 480gain arrow.

You guys having problems what is your peep height? (distance from nocking point to center of peep).. I was having a similar issue and my peep height was my problem

I don't shoot a peep but yes your anchor point will definitely make a difference.

no you can move it down....but I have it all the way down in the bottom two holes. I mean I could use it like it is now but the top of the pendulum would only put me at 35 or 40 yards MAX!!!! I think 35 is the highest it would go. Which would work but just in case I want to have it sighted in at up to 50 yards MAX.

You need to put your slide in the full down position and secure it,
now, you need to raise the housing(using the higher holes) until it as close as you can get it to 20 yards.
Now, as you move the slide up, your housing and pin will lower accomodating longer yardages.
Remember on a multi pin sight, 20 is top pin, and further yardages are lower pins.


Edit: I just looked at the date. Sheesh!

I just got rid of an Hha sight had the same problem

[Booger74]

I have had my same HHA on two different set-ups and it worked great. The difference from My D340 to my New Invasion was about 1/2" up the slide was my 20. I can still take it way beyond 60. You need to take the bow to a real bow shop. BP is a place for great deals, but not so much customer service.
