Copper John Evo 2 Sight
I'm about to purchase a 2nd hand sight and I need to clarify something about the CJ sight. On the CJ website, they mentioned that the FITA version has a 4.5" elevation frame. But on altservices, they stated it as 6" instead and the picture on altservices looks a lot longer than the 2nd hand one that I'm about to purchase.(seller said its the FITA version)

So I'm just wondering which is the correct one. The sight marks for elevation on the 2nd hand sight goes up to 110 only. Is this right?

Thanks

The 4.5" versions are usually for compound which needs less adjustment (faster arrows) whereas the 6" version is for recurve (slower and therefore more distance between sightmarks).

I personally would not recommend the Copper John. I had one briefly and found the adjustment stiff and difficult to adjust on the rapid ajustment and the base of the adjustment screw loose and potentially subject to rattle.

Have a look at the latest Shibuya. The slide is absolutely beautiful and the adjustment so precise. It is a step above the CJ.

Your choice.

Mike

I would second that Shibuya recommendation. So simple and elegant yet never moved or rattled in 12 months of shooting so far.

Agreed, the Shibuya products are very nice indeed. Never had a problem with mine and have been shooting it for over 2 years.

The recurve sight is 150mm getting on for 6". Their mm's are smaller than ours! However the recurve sight ANTS 2 is brilliant. I would not mind a compound version for use indoors.
