Réglage de la visée

The Alpha Slide features micro-adjustments for both windage (left/right) and elevation (up/down). These adjustments allow for precise tuning to match your shooting style and arrow ballistics. Delrin bushings ensure smooth, quiet movement without metal-to-metal contact.

After initial mounting, you will need to sight in your bow. This typically involves shooting at various distances (e.g., 20, 30, 40 yards) and making small adjustments until your arrows consistently hit the target center. Sight tapes are provided to mark your specific yardage settings on the slider.
