I'd appreciate any views on the these types or the sights I am looking at right now:

Shibuya Dual Click
Arten Olympic
Cartel Activa
Arc Systeme SX10 Carbon
Spigarelli Carbon 30
Spigarelli Evolution

My price ceiling is £120 max.

Any advice appreciated, thanks

Dave

Used to have a Dual Click, sort of killed it, was young, broke the housing, most of the screws, jamed it etc, but had the Ultima for my compound and grunged the screws real quick with that too, im just rought with stuf tho

Had 2 Arc Systeme SX10's both worked perfet till they got replace by sure loc's on a basis of vainity, I pimped my bow They last, there real work horses, get them wet, they will work a week later after not being dried, unlike a sure loc. If u get the recurve one all you have to do is buy a compound housing and uve got a compound sight, so if you chose the darkside oneday its a bit easyer.

Aviod the Arten Olympic, just a bad sight for the money, Ive had to repared more of them than cartel k-sights on are c club bows

Arc Systeme SX10!

If you can afford it or can find a second hand one go for Sureloc. As just boy said not cheap but very well made and robust. Dont know of any sureloc sights failing. I have the top level one and cos it has no locking screws (self locking mechanism is so easy to use) you cant over tighten anything at they last forever.

I can recommend the Merlin sights too. I had a few problems with delivery on mine, which have now been sorted, but the sight itself is a work of art, and an absolute bargain at £80. To be fair, I can't see the difference between the Merlin and the Sure Loc, which sells for a good £50 more.

It's a "click system" sight, and I believe they're made in-house with Merlin's own CNC machinery. See here - http://www.merlinarcherycentre.co.uk...rve_Sight.html
