are all sights the same fitment?

[djthompson]

I'm shooting a Yamaha EX Custom with an Arten Deluxe thingy sight.

The sight's not micro adjustment + every so often works loose; which is SOOOO annoying!

If I was to replace the sight to something like a Shibuya Ultima; will the sight mounting block have the same position of screws; and do you think that the screws will fit?

I understand Yamaha are metric screws (though some people re-tap the threads); so will the old screws be needed (and will they fit a different sight block)?

Why is the archery world imperial?

Usually you'd say yes, but being Yamaha I think you might have an Imperial/Metric issue.

Anyone care to confirm?

thanks for your reply.

I guess, if the screw actually screws into the sight block maybe there could be an issue; but if it just goes through; maybe I could use my old screws.

Looking at the pic of the mounting block it's difficult to tell:

The threads in the bow will be metric so use the same screws that go into the bow.

Hi Dave,

The archery world is imperial because of the Americans!:thumbsdow
British manufacturers, such as Merlin, are metric:cheerful:

Had that problem with moving Shibuya from Stylist to Nexus - just went to nearest proper hardware store and got some more... Holes should be in same place though.
