Mounting

Mount the sight to the bow in one of three positions with

the bow mounting screws provided. Set the length of the

sight by loosening the set screw on the dovetail bracket.

Slide to desired position (6 possible) and tighten set screw.

Sighting In (20 yards recommended)

Set the top pin in the preferred position in the bezel

(using the hex key provided). Next, unlock the Tool Free

Locking Knobs, allowing the Micro Adjust Windage and

Elevation Dials to rotate. Rotate the Micro Adjust Windage

and Elevation Dials to precisely tune pin placement.

Once pins are in the desired location, lock the Tool Free

Locking Knobs.

* Move pins in the same direction of desired arrow

placement.

i.e. If missing left, adjust pins left. If missing low,

move pins down.

The device described in the manual is a "ROCK SOLID DEPENDABILITY" bow sight, specifically an "ALUMINUM BUILT" model, designed to enhance accuracy and precision for archers. It features a robust construction and a range of adjustable components to suit individual shooter preferences and various shooting conditions.

Function Description:

The primary function of this bow sight is to provide a precise aiming point for archers, allowing them to consistently hit their targets. It achieves this through a system of adjustable pins, which can be finely tuned for both horizontal (windage) and vertical (elevation) alignment. The sight is designed to be mounted on a bow, offering multiple positions to optimize its placement relative to the shooter's eye and the bow's structure. Its micro-adjust capabilities ensure that even minute corrections can be made, leading to improved shot accuracy. The inclusion of 2nd and 3rd axis adjustments further refines the sight's alignment with the shooter's perspective, compensating for any tilt in the bow or the shooter's stance. Additionally, a built-in light adapter allows for the attachment of an optional light, illuminating the pins in low-light conditions without distracting the shooter from the target.

Usage Features:

Mounting:

The sight offers versatile mounting options. It can be attached to the bow in one of three positions using the provided bow mounting screws. The length of the sight can be adjusted by loosening a set screw on the dovetail bracket, allowing it to slide into one of six possible desired positions before being tightened. This flexibility ensures that the sight can be optimally positioned for different bow setups and shooter preferences.

Sighting In (20 yards recommended):

The sighting-in process is designed for precision. Users should first set the top pin in their preferred position within the bezel using the provided hex key. Next, the Tool Free Locking Knobs are unlocked, enabling the Micro Adjust Windage and Elevation Dials to rotate. These dials are then used to precisely tune the pin placement. Once the pins are in the desired location, the Tool Free Locking Knobs are re-locked to secure the settings. A helpful tip for adjustment is to move the pins in the same direction as the desired arrow placement; for example, if an arrow is missing left, adjust the pins left, and if it's missing low, move the pins down.

Micro Adjust Windage and Elevation Dials:

These dials are a core feature for fine-tuning. They allow the shooter to make small, consistent, and accurate adjustments as needed, making them invaluable tools for precision sight-in.

Elevation Dial: This dial features laser-etched markings for precise vertical adjustments. Turning the dial clockwise moves the pins down, while turning it counter-clockwise moves the pins up.
Windage Dial: Similarly, this dial has laser-etched markings for precise horizontal adjustments. Turning it clockwise moves the pins left, and counter-clockwise moves the pins right.

2nd and 3rd Axis Adjustments:

These adjustments are crucial for accommodating shooters' sight alignment preferences and ensuring accuracy on uneven terrain or when shooting at angles.

2nd Axis Adjustment: This is adjusted by loosening or tightening screws to correct for any left-to-right tilt of the sight.
3rd Axis Adjustment: This involves loosening or tightening a screw and pivoting the level to adjust for any up-and-down tilt of the sight.

Built-in Light Adapter:

The sight includes a dedicated port for mounting an optional light. This feature is designed for use in low-light situations, illuminating only the pins to keep the target sharp and clear in the shooter's eye, preventing glare or distraction.

Other Usage Features:

Multi-Position Mount/Quiver Holes: Provides flexibility in how the sight is attached to the bow and allows for quiver attachment.
Multi-Position Dovetail Mount: Offers further adjustability for the sight's position along the bow.
Tool Free Micro-Adjust Windage and Elevation Knobs: Allows for quick and easy adjustments without needing additional tools.
Laser Etched Windage and Elevation Markers: Provides clear and precise reference points for adjustments.
Tool Free Locking Knobs: Enables quick locking and unlocking of adjustments.
Pin Adjustment: Refers to the overall system for positioning the aiming pins.
Fully Contained Fibers: Protects the fiber optic elements that gather light for the pins, ensuring their durability and brightness.

Maintenance Features:

While the manual does not explicitly detail a "maintenance" section, the design implies certain aspects that contribute to the device's upkeep and longevity:

Durable Construction: The "ALUMINUM BUILT" designation suggests a robust and durable construction, which inherently reduces the need for frequent repairs or delicate handling.
Tool-Free Adjustments: The "Tool Free Locking Knobs" and "Tool Free Micro-Adjust Windage and Elevation Knobs" simplify adjustments, reducing the likelihood of stripping screws or damaging components that might occur with repeated tool use.
Protected Fibers: The "Fully Contained Fibers" indicate that the delicate fiber optic strands are protected within the sight's housing, minimizing exposure to environmental damage and wear, thus maintaining their functionality and brightness over time.
Modular Design: The ability to loosen and tighten screws for various adjustments (like the 2nd and 3rd axis) suggests that individual components can be accessed and potentially serviced or replaced if necessary, although specific instructions for such actions are not provided.
Clear Markings: Laser-etched markers for windage and elevation ensure that settings remain visible and accurate, preventing guesswork that could lead to incorrect adjustments and potential damage from over-tightening or misaligning components.

In summary, the ROCK SOLID DEPENDABILITY bow sight is a sophisticated, user-friendly, and durable accessory designed to significantly improve an archer's accuracy through its extensive range of precise adjustments and thoughtful features.
