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.

The bowfinger sight has clicks as well but holy cow man memorizing that and being able to recall that quick on the fly, your brain works better than mine haha

I shoot a tommy hogg on all my hunting bows. It has clicks for elevation. However it's a microadjust. I really like it and use it all the time, but would take forever to dial from 20 to 60 using just the clicks

Axcel accu touch or just get a digital react from trophy ridge, digital sight tape in half yard increments and the option for multiple profiles if you switch arrows at all.

Any sight set properly will have a stop at you "zero" location, say 20 yards.

Thanks for all the help fellas, I really appreciate it. Contacts here I come!

I’m farsighted, I can see well enough to shoot without contacts but need a +3 reader. I do see at distance much better with my contacts in and always wear them to hunt and glass and sometimes to shoot. With my contacts I can also see the numbers on my sight tape as long as it’s one I printed myself with the numbers as big as possible and in bold font. Without contacts getting the right yardage on the sight tape is more of a problem.

I wear glasses for everything but hunting and switched to daily wear disposable contacts, available in 30 packs, for hunting a couple of years ago. These were a game changer and even filter UV light which helps avoid eye strain after long days in the field under bright western skies. (I don’t like sunglasses when I hunt since I sweat too much.) With the daily disposable lenses I can take them out and throw them away after the day is over and switch back to glasses which makes it real nice when camping or after a long day outside followed by a long drive. I don’t like driving in the dark with contacts in since my eyes tend to dry out.


For quick shooting sessions and other times when I’m only going to have them in for an hour or so I’ve got 6 packs 30 day disposable lenses for each eye. These and the 30 packs generally get me a year or more so the cost isn’t prohibitive.

Here’s a picture of the lenses I use:

Thanks Tilzbow, I tried to wear the exact contacts but just can't get used to them. I probably shouldl give them another try.
My rifle is set up so that I can count clicks to get my zero and has a zero stop to relocate. It works perfectly for me and just thought I might be able replicate with a bow sight.
