Setup Instructions
Mounting the Sight
- Ensure your bow is safely secured in a bow vise or stable position.
- Align the sight mounting bracket with the mounting holes on your bow's riser. The Alpha React 1 offers three bow mounting positions for optimal fit.
- Insert the mounting screws and tighten them securely. Do not overtighten.
- Verify that the sight is firmly attached and does not wobble.
Initial Sighting-In (React Technology)
The React Technology simplifies sighting-in by automatically calibrating multiple yardage pins after setting just two. For best results, use a consistent shooting form and arrow setup.
- Set 20-Yard Pin:
- Set up a target at 20 yards.
- Adjust the sight's vertical housing using the tool-less elevation adjustment knob until your arrows consistently hit the target at 20 yards.
- Adjust the windage using the tool-less windage adjustment knob until your arrows are centered horizontally.
- Set 30-Yard Pin:
- Move your target to 30 yards.
- Without adjusting the main elevation knob, use the individual pin adjustment for the 30-yard pin (if applicable, or follow the React Technology instructions for setting the second reference point).
- Once the 20-yard and 30-yard pins are accurately set, the React Technology will automatically calibrate the remaining yardage indicators (40, 50, 60 yards, etc.) based on your bow's trajectory.
- Verify Remaining Pins:
- Shoot at targets at 40, 50, and 60 yards to confirm the accuracy of the automatically set pins. Minor micro-adjustments can be made if necessary.
- Second and Third Axis Leveling:
- For advanced accuracy, especially at longer distances or on uneven terrain, adjust the second and third axis levels. Refer to the detailed component diagram for adjustment points.
- Ensure the precision-installed bubble level is centered when the bow is at full draw and level.
Operating Instructions
Adjusting for Distance
- Once sighted in, use the yardage selector to quickly adjust the single pin to the desired distance.
- The yardage selector locking lever can be engaged to secure the pin at a specific distance.
Using the Rheostat Light
- The integrated rheostat light illuminates the fiber optic pin for improved visibility in low light conditions.
- Rotate the rheostat knob to adjust the brightness of the pin to suit ambient light.
- Turn off the light when not in use to conserve battery life.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly wipe down the sight with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish or optics.
- Inspection: Periodically check all screws and fasteners to ensure they are tight. Inspect the fiber optic pin for any damage or fraying.
- Battery Replacement: If the rheostat light dims or stops working, replace the battery. Refer to the component diagram for the battery housing location. (Note: Some user reviews indicate issues with included batteries; consider testing or replacing upon purchase).
- Storage: Store the sight in a cool, dry place, protected from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pin not bright enough / Light not working | Dead or corroded battery; Rheostat knob not adjusted. | Replace battery (CR2032 or similar, check manual for exact type). Rotate rheostat knob to increase brightness. Ensure battery is inserted correctly. |
| Sight feels loose or rattles | Mounting screws are loose; Adjustment locking levers not engaged. | Check and tighten all mounting screws. Ensure windage and elevation locking levers are fully engaged after adjustment. |
| Inaccurate shots at longer distances | React Technology not properly calibrated; Second/Third axis not leveled. | Re-verify 20-yard and 30-yard pin settings. Ensure second and third axis levels are properly adjusted for your shooting form and terrain. Confirm bow speed meets sight's optimal performance range. |
