After purchasing a bow, the next item on a hunter's list will probably be sights. There are a lot of different options available for the hunter and it's important to understand what they're used for, how they work, and the best option for each type of hunting.
The first thing to consider when buying a sight is how you will be using your bow. If you plan only to target shoot, scopes have greater accuracy and will probably be the better option. If you only plan to hunt game though, there is little need for a scope at all. Another variable to consider when choosing sights is the location of your hunt. Will you be hunting from a blind? Up high from a tree stand? Or from a moving vehicle such as a boat? Make sure to do your research to find what type of sight will fit your situation best.
Many target shooters prefer movable single pin sights such as sure-loc sights to put on their bow. These type of sights allow the hunter the precision of setting a specific shooting distance in yards; the hunter sets the dial and shoots. Similarly, if the hunter is using a hunting sight and pin that is set only for even numbers and the target is 23 yards away, the pin should be set for 20 yards and the hunter should aim high. Many hunters choose to add a scope to this type of sight to help, but this is up to the preference of the hunter.
Many ranges have now moved to the indoors. To acommodate, many hunters have adjusted their gear to reflect the environment. Many hunters using these indoor targets use a 6x or 8x magnified scope for indoor 300 courses, and 3x to 8x for Fita and Field shooters, and a 3x or 4x magnified for 3D. With new technology, many scopes have gone high-tech with the newest options available to the bow hunter. All scopes have an aiming dot, but some use fiber optics like bow hunting sights; others have stick on dots, or stick on rings. All the options perform well, and the decision is left up to what each individual hunter prefers. With this basic knowledge, a hunter can go into his local archery shop and peruse all the options, try the different types of equipment, and make the best decision for him.
