Any slider sights available with click adjustments like on a rifle scope turret? Kinda makes sense to me but can't find anything.
Thanks in advance for any help.

None that I am aware of, unless you count the Hogg Father as a hunting sight, which I do not. Most high end target sights have clicks, but it is usually not incorporated into hunting sights, both for the speed/ease of use and partially probably because of noise. The accuracy requirements of hunting and the spacing of the marks typically makes it pretty easy to dial a sight without needing clicks. Hope all that makes sense.

Are you talking horizontal or vertical adjustments? Slider or fixed pin?

A B3 sight has really nice clicks for horizontal movements. Plenty of others too.

I'm not talking about pin adjustment but pin guard or housing movement with a click adjustment. I'd like to range and then not have to look at a sight tape(which I can't see anyways with old eyes) and dial for yardage feeling clicks along the way.

I believe the old Accutouch had something similar to what you’re looking for

The hogg father has clicks and a scale, it's way more of a tank than any tournament sight I've messed with, I have one on my target bow and one on my hunting bow

Without doing some math, you won't be able to do it by feel.


Easiest to use would be the Hogg Father or Tommy Hogg, the clicks are courser than anything else I know of out there, but it changes a fair amount with yardage.

Here's an example, my current hunting bow, 25 yards is 14.1, that's 14 on the round dial, and 1 on the knob. If I want 35 yards, that's 18.2, with is actually 29 clicks. If I wanted 45 yards it's 22.7, 33 additional clicks, for a total of 62 for 20 yards, but not of course even either. But because of trajectory changes, it's not as easy as saying 30 clicks per ten, tho if you are shooting fast enough, maybe it would keep you in the ballpark.


But generally you want to use a rapid adjust on a sight, clicking sucks, especially for a hunting situation.


The accutouch did have a detent system, I think it was limited, but would get you about what a fixed sight would do. 10 yard increments usually. Might be more what you are looking for, but I'd not consider it quite same as dialing.
