Why should my luck be any different?

I'm not very happy right now

I tried my mount and holograph AND NEITHER WORK RIGHT !!!

Let me first say my brother and I played around wtih this thing and we both like it very much - as a concept. His draw is about 3-4" longer and he was shooting my bow --- first time he shot it he got two arrows withing an inch of eachother at 20 yards. He commented "I could of certainly killed a few more deer with this" (refering to the low light conditions).

Ok, here we go

The Mueller holograph (whose brand I keep hearing good things about) won't shut off properly. You have it on 0 (off) and it's still on. Then you tap on it a little bit and goes off. Tap on it again, it comes back on. Same thing with the number 1 setting. Sometimes it's on, sometimes it's off.
Bottom line, I have no way of turning it off and keeping it off aside from pulling the battery.

So I'll have to get that replaced

Now the even bigger problem

I don't have enough adjustments in the mount (or holograph b/c I maxed the elevation out) be on at even 10 yards. The best I can do is 2" low --- which is worthless because it obvouisly will just go lower than that further out.

Here's the million dollar question

Do you think 1 screw will hold this mount???
If this nylon nut holds and does not come loose and pivot the whole thing, I'll be ok. I can get enough elevation that way. Unfortunatly, no one makes super thin nuts that would give me enough room here. As you can see by the picture (the location I need the mount to be in), there's only room for 1 nut.

Your thoughts???

Mueller is going to replace the holograph for free (waiving their 12 dollar warrenty fee) --- good deal although I'm pretty sure if something is under warrenty it should be free to begin with


After a phone call to the tech department at HHA sports, I finally was able to read the vague instructions and place a shim on the mount. As can be seen by the picture, it got me the 1/4" I needed.



We'll see if this works. The elevation is not an issue. Because of the shim, there may be issues with windage. But I'll have to wait about a week to see

That's good, because I'm betting the one bolt would not have held, not for long anyway.

Did I ever tell you Red...how much I love it when you buy something?...... ;D ;D

Stick with it red. The shim should help.

The one I have used on a X-bow was a sweet sight for the application.

I think you were getting it at SWFA, they are fairly cool about repairs and such.

[jmarriott]

Red did you get the sight back...........

I actually recieved the holograph today.

I'll probably try again this weekend.
