Axcel Accustat

[jmez]

Looks like a really nice multi pin slider! I loved my Armortech sight, by far the best sight I have owned. Switched to a CBE Tek Hybrid a couple years ago and am a big fan of the multi pin slider.

Have been waiting for Axcel to come out with one. Ouch on the price. 5 pin model with custom pin arrangement is going to run about $480!!!

Any of you guys use one of the Accutouch sliders last year. I'll likely end up buying the 5 pin Accustat.

I agree this looks like an awesome slider. I'm a big fan of my Armortech sight as well. Hope somebody posts some feedback on these sights.

The 5 pin would be my pick as well.

I was looking also I ended up with the black gold

I placed my order for the 5 pin accutouch carbon pro accustat in .010, I'll let ya'll know what I think of it come mid January when I get it. From what I saw, it was a big improvement over my tommy hogg. Hopefully that is the case and it works out.

I purchased one of these Accutouch sights. Really nice sight easy to setup and machining on it is top notch. I'm going to purchase the Accustat scope for it.

Would it be redundant to buy the 5 pin scope since I can dial in yardage? Or should I get the 3 pin and save $20?

 

[jmez]

I like the 5 pin myself, that way I don't have to touch anything until I get past 60 yards. That is going to be a follow up shot or for practice.

I think I may do what you did, buy a used Accutouch, sell the head on it and buy an Accustat scope. The only difference between the Accutouch and the Accustat is the scope. Based on prices over at AT you should be able to save about $250 doing it that way.

 

[xcutter]

Yeah AT is the way to go. Only place I can find the multipin scopes online is Lancaster Archery.

Do you know anywhere to buy the multipin scopes?

 

[jmez]

Not yet. Lancaster is only place I have seen them and they are backordered.

I had my dealer call Axcel and they wouldn't even give a tentative ship date on one.

I purchased a 5 pin .019 head for my sight. Cheapest I found was at bowhunterssupplystore.com.

I'm going to install the pin head this weekend. I will post my thoughts on it after trying it out. I will say that I think I might not be able to set the pins up at the yardage I want. I don't think I will be able to get them close enough for my 20 and 30 yard pin. They currently do not have and HS option for this pin head. They might be able to bend the pins at some point? I have another one of there sights and they bent the pins on it for me.

I have the Accutouch 5 pin, and I love it. I think it should be perfect for hunting. But wish I had a slider for practice reasons.

Could you put the top two pins as close together as they go and measure between them? I'd like to know what the minimum gap is before I order one. Not interested if I can't set the head up the way I want it.

 

[xcutter]

Jmez just saw your post. I will take some measurements tonight with dial calipers and post them up on this thread for you.

Sweet sight and the setup is way more simple than what it would seem. My bow is shooting in low 290's and I don't have any issues with getting a 20 and 30 yard pin. That's with the sight mounted on the farthest setting from the riser. I have the solid mount sight with harmonic dampener in it.

 

[xcutter]

I can get the pins about 1/16 from each other. Eye balling with calipers looks like .060 to .075 thousandths.

Went with the 5 pin. As always AXCEL builds great stuff. Just need to get a bigger level now. Very happy with it.

 

[jmez]

Thanks xcutter. Should be plenty close for my set up.
