INSTRUCTIONS
FOR TOP DOG K9-3 OR K9-5
Congratulations on your purchase of one of the finest,
most durable hunting sight on the market today. 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.
The first step to remove the items from the package and
place then on a table. To attach the sight head (the part
with the pins) to the windage unit, first you loosen the
screw on the windage unit. Then you slide the head into
the dove tailed slot. Then tighten the screw so that the
base does not move. Next you will attach the windage to
the extension bar loosening the screw on the extension bar
and inserting the windage into the dovetail slot. Tighten
the screw down again so that the windage does not move.
Then you will attach the extension bar to the riser using
the two enclosed flat head screws.
Next you need to get a rough idea of where your pins need
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 screw on the extension bar and manually
move the sight right or left. Once you have the pins inline
(or at least real close) with your arrow, then you tighten
the knob back down. You are now ready to sight in your hunting
sight.
When sighting in, it is recommended that you start at
approximately 7 yards and use the top pin. This is 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. It is recommended to sight in the left and right
first. It will make sighting in the vertical easier. Shoot
your first arrow into the target. While sighting in, it
is best to make small adjustments and the shoot another
arrow. Remember, 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. There are two ways to handle this, you
can adjust the pin individually by loosening up the cap
screw on the back side of the sight and manually sliding
the pin up or down. Or you can loosen the screw that is
on windage and sliding the head up or down. Once 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, move back and repeat the process until
all of your pins are sighted in. You will have to manually
move the pins for the further yardages. Please remember
that there is no right or wrong yardage to sight your sight
in for. If you want to sight the pins at 15,23 ½,
34, 42, and 51 or whatever that is completely up to you.
