New toy arrived

Post by ecoaster »

Just got my PSE Nova today. Came with 6 arrows, rest, sight, stabilizer and quiver. I picked up a new Copper John Dead Nuts sight, Cobra release, and some more arrows for it. Should be fun to shoot and hopefully not to frustrating to tune and keep tuned :D .

Does anyone recognise this sight? There were no markings on it. It looks really complicated and cheaply made.

Also what's this little gizmo???

It's an ancor point gizmo. It helps you get used to ancoring at full draw the same every time.

Hi Ecoaster,
I cannot help with the sight, but the gizmo is a Kisser. Helps with repeating the correct full draw position. It locates in corner of the mouth. Just settle into a comfortable full draw position and move it up or down untill it locates in the corner of the mouth. They do help, especailly when drawing in odd places-like a tree stand.
Regards ChappyBoss.
P.S. the PSE Nova is one of the best value for money bows around.

Hope you have better luck with the sight than I did. Tried one, and the cleas plastic broke off where the steel rod attaches when I was shooting. One shot it was fine, and the next shot there was no sight!
Had a PSE Nova, and it was a decent bow for the $$$$$

Ecoaster, I had a sight like that 10 years ago. I can't remember the name. It's an adjustable sight that's missing the finger adjustment. You could adjust for yardage with the index finger on your bow hand. I've got the finger thingy in my archery box. I liked it for hunting. Worked rather well back then. The other thing on the string is a "kisser" button. Like TYE said, it's to help with your anchor point. You would set it up at full draw to touch the corner of your mouth to aid in the eye allignment of your pins. Another archery "gadget". Proper form would eliminate the need for that thing. Good luck with the bow.
