Question Sight recommendations under £100?

Hi, as you may have seen from my introductory post, am soon to be buying my first proper (recurve) bow setup after shooting for about 6 months. Have had lots of advice from fellow club members about risers, buttons, limbs, arrows etc. but not much on sights. Although its my first bow, I would like to get a good sight, as this isn't something I'm going to outgrow quickly (unlike limbs), though I realise this isn't going to magically improve my scores! :-)

The Sureloc's look nice, but don't think I can really justify spending that sort of money on a sight, am really looking for something under £100, I guess. I want something that's well made and isn't going to rattle loose easily and that is micro-adjustable in both dimensions, if possible. Have been considering choosing between these:

* Shibuya Dual Click (around £85)
* Sebastien Flute Standard Carbon Sight (around £75)
* Spigarelli Grand Prix (around £80)
* Arten Europa (around £65)

What do people think of these sights and are there any others that people would recommend? If it makes any difference will be shooting both indoors and outdoors. Thanks

The Shibuya Dual Click isn't a classic without reason, buy that.

isn't that K(rap)-Sight?


For under £100 the Shyb is the best option... i've used an Arten Europa.. and if you want a smooth adjust for windage and yardage... *dont* use an Europa

If you can stretch to another £10 or so take a look at the SF Pro.

Mine has been rock solid and has never missed a beat.

Unfortunately it's not a copy it's a parody! Although I understand the Cartel Triple Carbon is a good sight and it's available around £80.

Actually that reminds me I have a cartel triple sight lying around the house somewhere. I have both a spare shib fibre optic and beiter sight tunnel too!
