Best Recurve sights

What in your opinion is the best recurve sight on the market? Irrespective of cost what would you choose?

Shibuya Ultima

Great piece of kit but at the current price, about £160

Will stick with the dual click....

Maybe this would be better as a poll then.

Another vote for the Shibuya Ultima, not regretted buying it ever in the last 12 months. Works even better with the Titan recurve sight pin

My preference is SureLoc, but I mainly shoot field where the sight needs to be moved close to 100 times in a competition. The Sureloc does this well. For target, maybe another sight is equally as good, or maybe better.

I've got an Ultima too. Not sure the sight pin ot extender bar matter too much in a sight (assuming that they do the job as expected). What's needed is a mechanism for adjustments that is clear, simple & trustworthy - that's where the opinions come in.

Err, I don't know about 10 different answers, but you seem to be getting 10 responses for the same sight

Ultima for me too. (Plus it shares the name with one of my all time favourite Atari/PC games).

Surelock does it for me, but all the top end sights are good and reliable, just like risers pick what takes your fancy and go shoot some arrows, they'll all perform better than most of us can shoot.
