Great Tips Chris.. I recently aligned my sight along with my aperture and i have to say that my groupings have gotten way better.. Thank you for the informative video.. i wish i would of seen the video earlier.. Thanks again
As a beginner to recurve I honestly believe your vids are the most informative by far, thank you for posting Mr Hill, you make it so easy to understand the setup stages.
Chris, Thanks so much for doing your info videos. Very informative. Ive been shooting for 30 years so most I know but you are a good reference marker..! All the best to you Chris..
Very instructive and useful. Thank you. You finished the video with a call for questions. I came here with questions (NEVER heard any of these set-up tips) and ended up with answers! : ) I'll give this a try on my bow later today.
You can mount the vertical sight bar at different heights on the extension. If you need to move the sight down to reach your distance and you still have enough clearance, you can remove the two screws that attach the extension to the bar and move them to the next holes down. I rarely do this, but I moved my bar up because it was so cose to the top of the bar with my sight/riser combo. If you're using the scale on the sight to set your elevation, it should be easy to add/subtract the same number to your setting (everything up 1 cm, for instance, if the screw holes are 1 cm apart.) Thanks for the useful video.
Hi, I'm new to Archery and your video is by far the best and easiest to understand how to set up a recurve sight. Thank you for sharing. John. Liked and subscribed
Spectacular! My Shibuya Dual Click online manual just says align the elevation bar with the bow string. Period. I remembered seeing you mount the sight backward but I'm sure glad I came back and reviewed using the actual sight pin! A real machine shop level of procedure. Thanks!
Hi Chris, thanks for a very informative video. My sight pin is a good 3/4" on the outside of my arrow. Am I doing something wrong? I shoot at 15 yards. Thank you.
your arrows are probably not spined for your poundage and release if the sight is that far off. Tuning only works if the arrows are ballpark spined correctly.
i have 29 inch draw, 42# at clicker and shoot a 500 spine. A 400 spine would be around 50-52# draw weight. I shot 54# at 380 spine. At 48# i shot 450 spine. Your arrows are stiff for your poundage and draw as a general rule.
Thank you for sharing! I have been recreational shooting a recurve but only can hit my target 50% of the time at 20 yards so I use a compound for hunting for the accuracy. I would love to hunt with a recurve but I don't have the knowledge or consistent accuracy that I would take a shot on an animal for fear of just wounding it. Hoping to get a sight like this to aid with this. Thanks for sharing!
When im determining the placement of the arrow under the sight pin and found out that my arrow is slightly to the outside, do i adjust my sight or do i adjust my plunger?
for initial sight setup, you would move the aperture not the arrow or plunger. This is assuming you have already done initial bow setup with limb alignment and centershot.
Chris. Like Like your videos. I know they are a ton of work, and very appreciated. My question...aligning the sight aperture to the string and arrow means that the string is in m y line of sight when aiming. Is this what I want? Thanks. Don
The string should not cover the aperture. Your head position may not be good. If you are anchoring slight to the side of your face, the string shouldn't be in front of your eye. Once you are anchored, if string is covering aperture, move head so that string moves slight toward riser. I have anchored dead center and in front of my face and my string blur was to the outside of aperture. I never had it cover the aperture. It sounds like your draw alignment may also be off if you are anchoring on the side of face. Currently my string blur is edge of riser window.
Seriously, the best sight setup video I have seen, and I have been searching a lot lately. Narration is a bit twitchy, and the impact hammering in the audio is distracting, but the info is top notch.
Great vid. Need your help. After the anchor, if my sight is slightly below the target, how do I raise the bow to align it? Do I lift the bow with my arms or tilt from my waist? Or do I adjust the sight position although it has almost reached its lowest point...thanks
Hi, If you draw and anchor and your bow arm is low and the sight is below the yellow, then you need to relearn the draw setup and start with your bow arm higher, begin your draw and stop the bow arm when the sight is just above the yellow. then finish the draw, anchor and your sight should be in the yellow. You dont want to push up to get the sight back into the middle. And changing the aperture location wont help. Start bow arm higher, and then keep sight slightly above yellow until anchor. Then at anchor sight will drift down onto the X.
yes, I am a fan of several Kpop groups. SNSD, Red Velvet, Shinee, Twice, Cosmic Girls, Brown Eyed girls, Rainbow, etc, to name a few. On my other UA-cam channel, I have Kpop remixes.
@@WhispersMilton not random at all. it is very specific. I got into Kpop and Korean dramas back when i was researching the Korean archery form videos. Though i have less time now to watch any of it.
Good video! never even thought of turning the sight backwards.
I am archery player but I don't have enough money to buy some equipment😔
Great Tips Chris.. I recently aligned my sight along with my aperture and i have to say that my groupings have gotten way better.. Thank you for the informative video.. i wish i would of seen the video earlier.. Thanks again
really thanks! moving the sight on the back to check the alignment make it really easier!
As a beginner to recurve I honestly believe your vids are the most informative by far, thank you for posting Mr Hill, you make it so easy to understand the setup stages.
I agree....especially from a technical perspective. I used his videos to setup and tune my first recurve. All just made sense to me.

Late to the party but wanted to say this is the video I've been looking for. Basics of recurve sight setup...sorted!
Good video

Thank you so much¡ great video!!
Thank you fantastic information, my local club has coaches, but after the 9 week introduction course, you are on your own. Edgewise, Australia.
Fantastic Video,Super informative !!
Wow! One click at 70 m is a 4 inch adjustment? Seems really high! How long should the sight bar extension be from your eye?
Thanks...
Thank you. Good tips.
Brilliant video. You make everything look easy. And very well explained. Well done
I've been shooting archery since 1963 recurve ofcourse. Chis does something that I've never seen before simplified. First class
I'm a newbie recurver/ hasbeen English longbower. Thanks for the "Sight on backwards" tip, very clever and will be used by me, awesome.
Glad to help
I liked the detail and deeper explanation . It is full with right info for beginners cos we are only one searching for information ...
One click moving you about 4 inches on 70m sounds a lot. Did you mean one full turn?
The video is super helpful by the way!
I was just generalizing. One click moves my arrow about an inch at 70 meters.
He is shooting 90M with fingers on no peep.
Thank you. This has been a great help.

what do you think about riser sanlida x10 miracle? just for reference that I need to choose mine
i do not know anything about it. I have read some reviews that said it was a good riser.
This was very useful to me - thank you.

29" draw, 46# limbs, 400Sp. I probably need to practice more.

@@ChrisHillOlympicRecurveArchery Thanks for taking the time to reply. I appreciate the advice, and will act upon it.
oh yeah that "크리스힐" carving is so cool
actually they are gold stickers. Most recurve graphics are stickers.

@@ChrisHillOlympicRecurveArchery Thanks..I'll give that a shot!
Which eye do you look through the sight with if you are shooting right-handed?
Right eye dominately, but both eyes should be open. Left eye dominately if you shoot left handed.
@@ChrisHillOlympicRecurveArchery Thank you so much!
Many thanks Chris for an informative set of UA-cam videos. Brilliant!
