Setup and Installation
Before installation, ensure your bow is unstrung or safely secured. The Joker Bow Sight is designed for easy mounting on most compound bows.
Mounting the Sight:
- Identify the mounting holes on your bow's riser. The Joker sight features multiple mounting holes for flexible positioning.
- Align the sight's mounting bracket with the holes on your bow.
- Secure the sight using the provided screws. Ensure the screws are tightened firmly but do not overtighten, especially when attaching to aluminum risers, to prevent damage.
- Verify the sight is securely attached and does not wobble.
Initial Adjustments:
Once mounted, perform initial adjustments to center the sight. This typically involves adjusting the windage and elevation screws to bring the pins into a general alignment with your arrow rest.
Operating Instructions
Using the Fiber Optic Pins:
The Joker sight is equipped with ultra-bright .019" horizontal fiber optic pins. These pins gather ambient light to provide clear aiming points. Each pin can be set for different distances, typically starting with the top pin for your closest effective range (e.g., 20 yards) and subsequent pins for increasing distances (e.g., 30, 40, 50 yards).
Utilizing the Bubble Level:
A precision-installed bubble level is integrated into the sight. This level helps ensure your bow is held perfectly vertical during the shot, which is crucial for consistent accuracy. Before taking a shot, always check that the bubble is centered within the level.
Windage and Elevation Adjustments:
The sight features adjustable windage (horizontal) and elevation (vertical) controls. These adjustments allow you to fine-tune your aim to match your arrow's trajectory and compensate for environmental factors.
- Elevation Adjustment: Use the vertical adjustment knob or screw to move all pins up or down. Move the pins in the direction you want the arrow to hit (e.g., if arrows are hitting low, move pins down).
- Windage Adjustment: Use the horizontal adjustment knob or screw to move all pins left or right. Move the pins in the direction you want the arrow to hit (e.g., if arrows are hitting left, move pins left).
Perform these adjustments incrementally at a known distance, shooting groups of arrows and adjusting until your arrows consistently hit the center of the target.
Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Trophy Ridge Joker Bow Sight, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Regularly wipe down the sight with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust, dirt, and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the finish or fiber optics.
- Fiber Optic Care: Keep the fiber optic pins clean and free from obstructions to maximize their brightness.
- Screw Checks: Periodically check all mounting and adjustment screws to ensure they are snug. Do not overtighten.
- Storage: Store the sight in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
