The sight is offered in three models. The ME includes a battery-powered L.E.D. Light housed in magnesium that illuminates all pin fibers inside G5's unique light chamber, a system that contains the light so it won't spook game. The sight includes three fixed Smart-Pins, plus a lower floating Smart-Pin "mover" with finger-tip dial adjustment for long-range shooting. Choose from .019- or .029-inch-diameter pins. The entire sight weighs less than six ounces and is covered in a Realtree Hardwoods finish.
Constructed of tough and lightweight magnesium, Optix bow sights include many unique and useful design features. Among the most novel are a built-in pin-guard visor, micro-adjustable Smart-Pin technology and built-in rubber arrow bumper at the bottom of the round pin guard.
The LE includes all of these features, but does not hold the L.E.D. Light or the bottom Floating Smart-Pin. It does include five solid Smart-Pins perfect for western hunting scenarios, and weighs only 5.8 ounces. The 5.2-ounce SE model is a simpler version with three, fixed .029-inch-diamter Smart-Pins for archers who want less pin confusion.
META Components
META nocks, inserts and peeps are CNC machined from magnesium alloy using ultra-precise Swiss screw machines that provide exacting tolerances.
META nocks, inserts and peeps offer a singular advantage: They are 50-percent lighter than standard aluminum components of the same dimensions. Whether installed in your arrows, or riding on your bow string, they give you added arrow speed; without sacrificing a bit of strength.
META nocks prove even lighter than standard-issue plastic nocks, boosting F.O.C. (Front Of Center) balance for straighter arrow flight, and helping to increase speed. Micro threads on the shaft section lock them into the arrow, assuring they won't pop out after hard impacts. New versions use a redesigned throat system for a more precise fit, greater performance and trouble-free use. Nocks and inserts are offered in 246, 244 and 204 diameters to snuggly fit any carbon shaft from standard Gold Tip models, Easton Epic, Beman ICS, Carbon Force/PSE, and Blackhawk Vapor (246), Carbon Express hunting shafts (244), to Easton Axis and Beman MFX shafts.
The "Tru-Peep" style magnesium peeps are as strong as popular aluminum models, but with less than half the weight. They include an hourglass shape to assure proper sight alignment with all bows and at all draw lengths and are anodized deep blue for increased contrast against sights and target. Look for them in new-for-2007 3⁄32-inch-aperture Micro Target and 5⁄16-inch Magnum Hunter, plus 1⁄8-, 3⁄16- and 1⁄4-inch-aperture models.
