INSTRUCTIONS FOR MODEL 3575 BASIC
Congratulations on your purchase of one of the best sights
to take your archery career to the next level. With just
a little bit of care, this sight should last you for years
to come. Here are the basic instructions for assembling
the sight.
When you receive your sight from either your dealer or
through a delivery service, your sight will come packaged
in a clamshell with three parts and a screw pack. The first
step to assembly is to remove the bowplate off the extension
bar and mount it to the riser of your bow using the enclosed
Flat head screws. Next, you will attach the vertical base
onto the extension bar using the two enclosed Socket head
cap screws and washers.
If you are going to be using a scope with this product
continue on with this paragraph. If not skip to the next
paragraph. The third step will be to unscrew the knob on
the back of the windage unit (with the numbers on it) until
it is removed from the threaded pin. When the knob is off,
you can remove the front brass part (where the pin is threaded
into). You then loosen the small set screw that is in the
brass piece. We recommend that you just loosen this screw
and not remove it all the way. It is a small set screw that
will invariably become lost when you need it the most. Next
you will screw your scope rod into the brass part until
your scope housing is butted against the brass. This is
when you will snug the set screw down again to help prevent
a rotating scope. Now you will reinsert the brass piece,
with the scope on it, into the silver windage tube.
Loosen the cap screw that is on the top (front) of the
sight. You should only have to loosen this screw about 4
or 5 revolutions. Next you will insert the silver windage
tube through the 1/2” hole in the sight block. When
you have the tube in place, re-attach the numbered knob
on to the 10/32 threaded rod. You will then need to snug
the cap screw on the top (front) of the sight to make sure
that the windage unit can not be moved left or right.
Now you insert the extension bar back into the bow plate
and figure out how far you want to extend the vertical base
from your bow. There are milled round holes in the top of
the extension bar so that when you tighten the bar down,
the nylon tip on the end of the knob will fit into that
hole and give you the extra security of knowing that the
bar will not move.
Next you need to get a rough idea of where your scope
or the end of your pin needs to be for shooting. The best
way to do this is to knock and arrow and let it rest on
the arrow rest. By looking at the bow from behind (like
you would be getting ready to draw) you will be able to
see if you need to move the windage unit left or right.
To move your windage unit, you will loosen the cap screw
on the top (front) of the sight block like you did when
inserting the unit into the sight block. This is also the
opportunity to place your scope (if applicable) at the angle
that you desire. We recommend that the scope be swiveled
so that the top of the housing is tilted roughly 2 or 3
degrees away from the archer. When you have your scope positioned
where you want and the pin is inline (or at least real close)
with your arrow, then you tighten the cap screw on the top
(front) of the sight back down. You do not need to over
tighten this screw. It just needs to be snug enough so that
you can not move the windage unit left or right with your
hands.
If you are using a scope, you will next need to level
your sight. There are a couple of different ways to accomplish
this. The first one is to go to an Archery Pro shop and
let the Pro level up your sight. If you are the do it yourself
type, you can either purchase a leveling tool that you will
place on the table and then mount your sight to this tool
and level your sight, or you can choose the least expensive
route and purchase the Toxonics hand held leveling tool
(SC-108). To use the leveling tool, you will need to remove
your sight from the bow by loosening the knob and sliding
the extension bar out of the bowplate. Next you will place
the SC-108 flat against the side of the vertical base that
is opposite of the scope. If the bubble in the scope is
in the middle and the bubble in the leveling tool is in
the middle, you are good to go and no adjustments need to
be made. If the scope is not level, then you will need to
move the sight head one way or the other to level your sight.
To do this, you will need to loosen the cap screw that attaches
the vertical base to the extension bar. You can loosen either
the top or the bottom. After the screw is loosened, then
you can move the vertical base in the direction that you
need to go. When both bubbles are in the middle (on the
scope and the leveling tool) you can tighten the screw back
down.
When sighting in, it is recommended that you start at
approximately 7 yards. This recommended because the settings
are actually very close to the same as if you were at 20
yards and there is less of a risk of losing an arrow. We
recommend that you use a target with the x in the middle
and aim at the x so you have a starting point. Shoot your
first arrow into the target. While sighting in, it is best
to make small adjustments and the shoot another arrow. To
make adjustments for left and right, you will just turn
the knob on the back of the windage unit. Remember to always
follow the arrow. (I.e. if you miss left, move your windage
left and vice versa.) Continue this process until your arrow
is in line with the x in the middle of the target. When
this happens, it is now time to adjust for your vertical.
The same concept applies, Follow your arrow. To move the
sight lock up and down, you will loosen the knob on the
front of the sight and micro adjust the sight block up or
down. If you need to make a major adjustment, you will loosen
the lock knob on the front of the sight about 2 or 3 complete
turns and push the knob towards the vertical base. You will
then be able to slide the sight block up or down with ease.
When you are close to the yardage that you want, then you
micro adjust the sight block to get the exact yardage and
tighten down the knob. When you are hitting the x at 7 yards,
you can then step back to 20 yards and take a couple of
more shots to fine tune. After you are sighted in at 20,
you will have all the information you need if you are going
to be using a computer generated sight tape. If not, repeat
the process at 25, 30, 35 etc. for however many marks you
want to have.
