While it's not impossible to aim a bow without sights, bow sights can greatly improve your accuracy.
What Are Sights in Archery?
In archery, you use bow sights to help you aim. Like on any device with sights, you align your target's front and rear sights ahead of shooting. On a bow, the sights are usually mounted using a riser and extend beyond the front. In archery, types of bow sights include:
- Fixed Pin
- Moveable Pin
- Pendulum
- Target
Additionally, there are also a variety of optics. Like most scopes, bow optics use lenses that magnify the target.
Do All Bow Sights Fit All Bows?
Mostly, yes. Bow sights are generally designed with a universal fit. However, some brands design their products for optimal performance using other products within that brand or other specific brands.
Also, you might want to upgrade your sights if you plan on using your bow for competition, hunting, or other activities that require it. With that said, you should not mount rifle sights to a bow.
How Do You Use Sights on a Bow?
While it depends to a degree depending on what type of sights you have, the concept behind how you use bow sights is always the same. Using a peep rear sight and a pin front sight, aim your sights center mass on your target and then align the sights. You do this by placing the front sight in the center of the peep sight. If you're using multi-pin sights, you should use the pin sight best suited for the range.
