Adapted peep sight
I got a few sets of sights to try and add more fiber optic to it.
Here is my first attempt just did the bottom post to start with.

Re: Adapted peep sight
Good idea . I have no idea why but when I bought my Exomag in 2002 the either the sights weren't in the box or the outfitter that I bought my bow from kept them for himself .
God Bless !!!!!!!!!

Re: Adapted peep sight
Hopefully going to work a deal with the buyer for the sights.
It was a lot harder to grind those down with so little room in between.

I don't see them on Excal's site.

Re: Adapted peep sight
Best way is to put out a request on the forum someone will have a set and don't need them.
Price is usually $15
If I get all the ones I think I am getting I will give you a set

Re: Adapted peep sight
Try # 2 I like this one much better.
I drilled into the upper and lower post about an 1/8th of an inch by hand with the tool pictured.Don't know where I got it but it was the perfect size.
Then used a rubber/plastic glue to put the fiber optic in the hole had to sand the optic a little to get in in the hole.
I will do the next one with three different colors of fiber optic once I get back to Shooter's to get another color.
Next is the durability test will shoot it several times to see how it holds up.

Re: Adapted peep sight
this d*** peep sight has been my biggest issue with my Phoenix. I don't want to spend on a scope and mounts but these factory sights are a poor effort on Excal's part and almost unusable.
If Bill is out there.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE give us a better sight.

Re: Adapted peep sight
Here it is on the bow,I put the sight riser from one of the sets I wrecked as a protector.Will have to see if it gets in the way too much but I have never worried about reloading fast.
Will be taking it up to Shooter's to see how the new fibers stand up to the vibration of shooting.

Re: Adapted peep sight
Shot my phoenix with the adapted sight.No issues at all the fiber optic stayed put.
Middle pin set at 25 yds bulls eye, top pin hit bulls eye at 10 yds
Shot it over the chrono while I was there
370 gr arrow total weight
291 FPS
If any one is interested in a set of modified sights let me know I have five sets on the way and will modify them all with Green center, yellow top and red bottom
