Axcel Landslyde?
Equipment
Looking at a new sight for the new bow & the Axcel Landslyde Plus has piqued my interest.
Unfortunately I really like shooting a single pin, but I also really value a 4 pin setup as the majority of my hunting is in the whitetail woods.
I don’t have any experience with this sight, but was wondering if in order the single pin Axcel Landslyde, can I order just a 4-5 pin head & use the same tapes?
Would that even work?
Might as well just get the Canyon Pounder and have both on the same sight!
I’m strongly considering the CP, I do like a vertical 1 pin however
Just go with a MBG. Single or double vertical pin. The second pin can be adjusted independently. Much cheaper and could Probably pick up a good used one for even cheaper.
Yes, you can swap out scopes on a Landslyde. Another option would be to get a Landslyde sight (no scope) and get an Ultraview UV3 XL scope with a single pin cartridge and a 3 pin cartridge. Then you can swap the cartridges out without having to remove the entire scope.
I’ve not owned a landslide, but heard many positive reviews, I’m sure you can swap scopes as stated above.
Not to hijack, but I do own a canyon pounder. It feel it’s a good compromise. I most certainly shoot better with a single pin, but can’t have a single pin for general use. I have a 3 pin CP. I kinda agree I would like the single pin to be vertical (but don’t particularly like verticals multi-pins). Nothing is perfect though. More than the vertical pin I wish it was a side wheel adjustment instead of the turret style.

I shoot 5 pin on my landslyde i use the metal sight tape for yardages after 60 watch Brandon Raymes YouTube video on how set it up
I’ve shot the 1 pin Landslyde for the last 3 season. Great sight but the 1 pin works for me.

I've got an Option 8 Oval and absolutely love it. I hate the idea of the housing moving. You hear the horror stories about people forgetting to zero after a shot and missing something. Happened to me with my first moveable sight but thankfully on a yard rabbit. After that I was just like yeah can't do this again. Option sights are best of both worlds.
APauls, you’re more accurate and get more yardage out of a sight with moveable housing opposed to a moveable pin.
I can shoot past 100 yards with the oval sight and seem to be insanely accurate. Can't imagine why it would be more accurate moving the housing. You're doing the same thing. Pin moves.
I feel it’s because you can alway center the housing in your peep. And the pin is centered, rather than at the bottom of your sight picture.
We've had pins at the bottom of sight housings for decades, never heard that pins get inherently less accurate the lower they get in your housing. That makes no physical sense to me.
Archery is all about consistency and repeatability. If you have same anchor, same peep in same spot lined up with same housing in the same way each shot it doesn't matter whether the housing doesn't move and the pin does, or the pin doesn't move and the housing does. Consistency equals accuracy.
Yes. Agree somewhat. But if your pin is at the bottom of your sight picture inside your housing, a lot of people compensate for that by changing their anchor point when stretching out the distance. It’s inherently plausible to be more consistent if your pin is centered in your housing. But if you can be consistent both ways, you’re probably good.
I was looking for a sight that I can have a single verticle pin, then swap out a housing to have 3-5 pins & not have to switch tapes or have to re-sight in.
I’m not sure that’s possible
Ultra View will do that
