Anyone know the thread pitch on a KAP Prostyle?

I'm looking to buy most of my kit before my bow actually arrives, and I'm having a problem finding out what the thread pitch is in the riser for the sight. I looked at KAP's website, but it's pretty worthless. I'm looking at going inexpensive for the moment and buying a Cartel EX Aluminum, and it looks like it comes in 10/32 and 8/32 thread pitches. Considering most of the other Cartel's only come in 10/32, I assume that's a pretty standard thread pitch for the sight mounts?

I don't think that's the mounts.... Those are the sizes usually specified for the sight pin - generally 8/32 for a recurve pin, 10/32 for compound. Generally the sight doesn't have a pitch specified for the mount, though the riser might.

Good sights tend to come with a couple of different sets of mounting screws to fit different risers.

Sight Block Screws

3/16th and most sights (including cartel) come with these screws included.
