3. Setup and Installation

3.1 Mounting the Sight

The Trophy Ridge Fix Series sight offers multiple mounting positions for optimal fit and balance on your bow.

To mount:

1. Align the sight's mounting bracket with the threaded holes on your bow's riser.
2. Insert the mounting screws (typically two) and hand-tighten them.
3. Adjust the sight along the riser to your preferred position, then securely tighten the screws using an appropriate hex key.

3.2 Windage and Elevation Adjustments

The Fix Series sight features tool-less micro-adjustments for both windage and elevation, allowing for precise tuning.

• Elevation: Use the vertical adjustment knob to move the pin housing up or down. Turn clockwise to move pins down, counter-clockwise to move pins up.
• Windage: Use the horizontal adjustment knob to move the pin housing left or right. Turn clockwise to move pins right, counter-clockwise to move pins left.
• Each click of the micro-adjustment provides a small, precise change.

3.3 Second-Axis Leveling

Proper second-axis leveling is crucial for accuracy, especially at longer distances. The sight includes a precision-installed bubble level.

To adjust the second axis:

1. Place your bow in a bow vice or hold it steady.
2. Ensure the bow is perfectly plumb (vertical) using a separate level on the riser.
3. Adjust the second-axis screw (refer to Figure 3.3 for location) until the bubble in the sight's level is centered.
4. Tighten the locking screw once adjusted.

4. Operating the Sight

4.1 Pin Brightness and Rheostat Light

The Fix Series sight features ultra-bright fiber optic pins and a rheostat light for enhanced visibility in varying light conditions.

Figure 4.1: Close-up of the sight pins and the rheostat light, which illuminates the fiber optics for low-light conditions.

• The fiber optic pins gather ambient light to provide bright, clear aiming points.
• The rheostat light (if equipped) allows you to adjust the brightness of the pins in low-light environments. Turn the knob to increase or decrease illumination.
• A green hood accent ring helps to frame the sight picture and reduce glare.

4.2 On-Board Adjustment Tool

An integrated adjustment tool is conveniently stored on the sight, allowing for field adjustments without carrying extra tools.

Figure 4.2: The on-board tool, used for modifying pins, second-axis leveling, and tightening windage and elevation locking nuts.

This tool can be used for:

• Pin adjustments (e.g., moving individual pins).
• Second-axis leveling.
• Tightening windage and elevation locking nuts after adjustments are made.

5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and performance of your Trophy Ridge Fix Series sight, follow these maintenance tips:

• Cleaning: Wipe down the sight with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Inspect the fiber optic pins for any damage or fraying.
