So which sight did you go for, in the end?

In the end I didn't choose the Nemesis or Astron since neither has ILF fittings and opted for a Winact riser and Winstorm limbs. I'm still getting used to the set up but there has been a major improvement from using the club training bows which were just too light for me and having a sight that doesn't spin round every couple of shots has helped as well.

Thanks again to everyone who replied.

Hi Rossetti,
Yes it is a great pity that the limbs were not ILF because the more I hear about KG the more it becomes obvious that their limbs are about as good as they get.
Best of luck with your shooting.

I just went for a Cartel

2000 sight for now. I appreciate that it's not the greatest however it doesn't rattle, stays where I've set it and allows me to keep all my arrows on the boss, so for the time being I'm happy with it.

At the stage I'm at, I'm more concerned with getting my form right so that I can get consistent groups without the annoying bad releases that I can't explain. Once I've got that locked in, (slow going), then I'll probably re-assess whether I need to then upgrade the sight.

Regards

Jim

Hi, Looks like youve got yourself a great kit. Ive been shooting oooh lets see now...two weeks with my new kit, so with all that experience...welcome!!!

LOL...
We went to aardvark near leeds and got the winstarII riser with Samick

universal limbs. And they also gave us a load of goodies for the kit (well, it was built into the pricing but you get the drift)..IM glad I ended up at a shop and didnt buy online at this stage. Maybe when we know what to look for it is a different story.
Cheers
Jay

Jim, great to hear you had a good experience at KG, and came away with some nice new toys to play with!

They were certainly very friendly when I was down there a few years back, even though I only bought a few bits and bobs at the time. They did have a great selection of gear available!

Jay, I've heard that Aardvark are very good too, great that you were able to get over there and try stuff out.
