Default Now that SUCKS.....

So.... what do you do when this happens? Trash it?... really not in the mood to spend $60 on a new one....

Was out rabbit hunting today and grabbed my bow wrong as i was fighting super deep snow... finger went into the sight ring by mistake and snapped them...

I cant imagine warranty would cover that, and for a $50-$60 sight, i doubt it's worth getting them fixed...

What brand is it?
I know you can grab new pins for some.
I'm sure Lost will be able to help you out with the best direction to go.

Try and bend them back. Worst case they break. Your right not worth fixing on a 50 dollar sight.

Lots of guys usually have an old sight aroung from an upgrade you get get cheap.

I just gave a cople away or I would send to you for nothing

It's toast without replacement pins, because once you bend them back your left/right from pin to pin will be inconsistent.

Haha. I just bought a new one... Upgraded. MUCH nicer. Lol. I'll put up some pics in a bit.

They'd didn't bend, they're really thin plastic, so they just snapped.

Man talk about ruining your day. Lol. But with a new, upgraded site, I'm ready to go!
