    I bought a Gander Mountain Elite Tech the other day (same a Diamond Marquis) and haven’t found a sight for it yet. After looking around a bit online, I am having a tough time fiding a decent sight for a left handed bow…Ideally, I’d like to get a 4 pin set and finally get away from my pendulum sight.
    By the way, this thing is a sweet shooter for an awesome price right now (if they have any left) if anyone is looking. 40% off $700.00. Apply for a GM card and get another 10% off that.

    I like the Trophy Ridge sights. Vertical in line pins ROCK if you ask me. You can get 1, 3, 5 or 7 pins. I have the Trophy Ridge Guide Series Micro Matrix 5 pin sight, but use 4 of them. I too am a lefty!

    phish…I think most every sight is universal…It may not say on the package but you simply need to move the mounting bracket on the otherside and take the “housing”off and mount it on ther otherside…ask any archery shop or the folks at Gander where you bought your bow.. its easier to show then explain..Good luck I bought the new Mathews dxt and put an Apex site on it and it is interchangable like most others Ive owned…Good shooting ..Jay

    Yep, thats what I had to do with the sight on my Hoyt. Except the Impact Archery wasn’t interchangeable, so I took the sight off that and mounted it on the base of a tru-glo. A couple sights that I had my eyes on were the Trophy Ridge Summit Hunter and Copper John Dead Nuts, but was worried when I saw “right hand only” in the description. Looks Like I am going to have to go to a pro shop and see what I can make work. Thanks for the input guys!

    A1 in Hudson WI is a great place to get your bow set up. I know of a friend and his dad are lefties and they one shoots a HHA three pin vertical sight, and his dad shoots an Extreme Archery 4 pin sight. HHA are lifetime warranties on the fiber optics. Your best bet is to go to a pro shop, not somewhere like Gander but Sportsman’s is decent

    If it says RH only, that’s what it means. But, as stated, usually most are reversable. I also second the HHA line, whether it be single or multiple pin. Very bright, very durable, lightweight, lifetime warranty, made in Wisconsin.

    which is precisely why I walked out of GM with a bare bones bow
    I am finding by a little more machining most of these sites that are right hand only could easily be made universal. The only difference on a couple I saw last night including a trophy ridge was the fact that one side of the mount was counter sunk so the screws mounted flush. I did pick up a few bows last night that were set up with defferent sites just to get a feel for what I would like and I think I’ll be looking into a vertical sight.

    I have always favored HHA sights but the Copper Johns are the brightest fiber wrap pins I have ever seen…and pretty reasonably priced…

    If you’re having trouble in Madison, take the drive to La Crosse and check out La Crosse Archery. I shoot LH and they set my bow up from top to bottom.

    Yeah but at least I hit what I shoot at! So that means you shoot like 2 girls.

    Hitting the ground doesn’t count.

    It sure does when my arrow is sticking in the ground covered in Lung Blood!
