Sights
Bowhunters have many options when it comes to choosing the right sight for their bows. How far you can shoot will depend on which type of sight you choose.

Containment rest

The edges are rounded to increase pressure. This is different than slow twists that are made up of many thin-twisted joints. It is also called a mullen mouth, and it has a slight bow in the middle to give the tongue more room.
Rangefinder

You can take the shot at the right distance because the internal laser technology calculates distances instantly. The rangefinder allows you to identify the best animal within a group of animals without needing to touch it.
