In my earlier post, I said I was building a "what if" crossbow bases upon the Change in SM Stirling's Emberverse series...
My sticking point is really the sights...
For a 170# prod....I am torn between a rear peep with front pins (kind of like compound bow sights) and cheating with a rear holographic sight (the daisy electronic sight) covered to hide the fact that it is electronic.
Advantages of the pins, is that I can really dial them in distance and windage wise but being at the front end there is the chance of them being hit and knocked off of alignment.
The holographic rear cam be better protected, but I will have to use "Kentucky windage" due to the single dot. I say sight it in at 20 yards and practice other distances ....
In the spirit of a post electric world, I am trying to avoid electronics...I guess I could always install a fiber optic red dot into the rear Holo?
Thoughts or suggestions?
