undefinedLast week I mentioned Truglo’s PWR-DOT sight as an example of how far bowhunting technology has come. Need one more? Check out the compact, lightweight Covert sight from Apex Gear.

Launched at the 2014 ATA Show, the Covert is touted as the world’s first quick-change pin sight. Its VERSA-PIN technology allows you to change pin diameter and color from red to yellow or green instantly based on your personal preference or changing light conditions. The sight comes with two interchangeable sight pins--.019-inches and .010-inches in diameter. Extra-long green, red and yellow fully protected fibers are wrapped around the 1.8-inch diameter aperture with housing that permits vertical and horizontal tilt adjustments as well as adjustable second- and third-axis illuminaton levels.

The 8.5-ounce Covert sight is micro-adjustable for windage and elevation, sports an easy one-hand yardage adjustment knob and includes 60 pre-marked long-range yardage tapes and a push-button light for fast pin acquisition. If you’re in the market for a bow sight or you just want to try something new, visit www.apex-gear.com.

If you’re fortunate enough to fill your tag, the real work starts.

Smart Optics 101

Smart optics are changing the way hunters and shooters approach distance, accuracy and confidence in the field. Rangefinding riflescopes, dial-up turrets and integrated ballistic systems are no longer gimmicks. They work, but only if you take the time to understand them and use them to their full potential.
