You can get a decent multi-pin sight at that price, but if you want a standard sight and scope, you're pretty much restricted to second-hand. Quicks at Sapcote might have something in, but they're not usually cheap.

One bit of advice -- avoid the Arten Midas. That's the one you're most likely to find kicking around at that price. It's alright for target shooting once it's set up, but it's a pig to set up and it's much too fiddly for field.

You can certainly get a basic setup for £100

Cheap Toxonics for £45-85
Petron for similar

Scope
Petron £20-30
Cartel £20 or less

Try the usual suspects Bowsports, Alternative, CustomBuilt, Chiltern.

Sometime Gillbags has some on ebay - like right now!

DON't Buy a Petron G1 from Ebay. They are rubbish, awfull build quality, mine fell to bits.

In my opinion the merlin is the best sight for the money. Very strong, easy to use and nothing moves. Ben Jones sometimes sells them new on e-bay for ?90. Bargain!

The K@K sights are carbon, strong and robust and very cheap. I have one and my brother has one. They are good and have never been any trouble at all. The yare on ebay sold from south korea.
