but the rules states so long as the pin does not extend 2cm backI agree, plus, if any standard sight can be used open, this is a single point of aim, add any pin in the centre and it has two points, the ring and the pin?
So any sight with a pin falls foul of the rule?
most sights can be construed as having more than one aiming point, the outside of the housing/ the inside ring of the housing and what ever pin or ring option you have in the middle,compound and rifle both have a front and rear sight (peep)to which Fita is trying to avoid on the recurve.? The sight point may be a fibre optic sight pin. The total length
of the fibre optic pin may exceed 2cm, provided that one end
is attached outside the athlete?s line of vision at full draw,
while the part within the athlete?s line of vision does not exceed
2cm in a straight line before bending. It can only provide
one illuminated aiming spot at full draw.
If you can read the word "Titan" normally on top of the housing it's pointing in the right direction.I have just acquired a Titan Recurve scope to replace a standard Shibuya sight pin.
Which end are you supposed to look through?
Thanks, W. I'm a left hooker so it was not immediately obvious whether 'Titan' should be the right way round, but on the bottom, or upside down, on the top.If you can read the word "Titan" normally on top of the housing it's pointing in the right direction.
And to get back to the original post, according to the Titan website the "Titan Recurve Scope" is "Designed and FITA approved for recurve Fita Olympic competition", so I assume they mean in whatever configuration ....

Odd that no one ever queries the far more elaborate Beiter sight pins!

No problem it's just a sight ring.I've another question similar...I have a Titan but want to change the sight pin for a ring for Recurve Target (not field). I think this is legal (FITA and GNAS) but do not want to run the risk if there's some grey area. Currently have the fibre optic in but have spare plain glass for a ring.

Just be careful how you install it though ...!
Anyone know where I can get it mended?
Sorry, couldn't resist it. ;-)Er, perhaps a bit more "locally"?
To be honest if it were that simple I wouldn't have broken it in the first place.Isn't it just a case of removing the thread that's still there and forking out for a new one?
