Guys, I'm looking for a no-longer used sight or sight mounting bracket... preferably, a bracket with at least the windage bar included. Does anyone have an old one laying around that's just collecting dust? I'm working on a DIY centershot tool and a spare sight bracket would help immensely... The only problem is I threw my only one out when we moved because I figured I'd never use it again.... Way to go, Jim.

I should clarify... By "sight bracket" I mean the flat bracket that attaches the sight to the bow's riser, not the sight housing itself.

Let me check in the morning. I know I have a dovetail bar and bracket off an Apex Sight, but I can't remember if they sent me the windage adjustment also.

I have a couple boxes of random shit a feller gave me way back when. No clue what's in it; I'll check that later on...

I appreciate it, fellas. I'm only looking for something you wouldn't miss if it were gone. If you think you'll need it some time in the future then please keep it.

Jim, I have two old sights. You let me know if you need to see them from a different angle.

You da man, Steve. I think that black Cobra would work out perfectly. I'll send you a text or a PM sometime tomorrow.

Dude, I honestly have zero use for it. I put that sight on Kate's bow and she said it was too heavy. I called Apex and they sent me a fixed bracket for free. If you want it, you are more than welcome to it.

I looked Jim, but I don't have much that will work. Thought I did and may have, but my garage looks like a bomb went off in it, so who knows?!?

Hey thanks for the offer! Actually, I ended up using some parts and pieces that my neighbor had lying around. (Sorry Hoyt... I didn't end up using that Cobra after all)

The centershot tool I made works rather well, although I doubt it's 100% perfectly accurate... But it works good enough for a quick rest setup prior to walkback tuning. Maybe tomorrow I'll post some pics of it or something. It's not the original idea that I had rolling around in my head, though. I'm still trying to make that idea work, as I think it'd be more accurate, but I haven't been able to track down the right piece I'm looking for.

No worries JB. It was a great excuse to get together and have breakfast. Does your wife by chance like to quilt?

Hmm.... I don't know. She's not really a quilter right now, but that's not to say she wouldn't like it. She likes crafts and things, but can never bring herself to spending money on supplies or fabric.
