    Broken Trophy Ridge FireWire V5, X2

    I just had my SECOND Trophy Ridge sight break on me. Has any one had any issues with their sights breaking? I was like on my 20th shot and as soon as I released the sight broke . I had an identical sight to this one that broke about 2 months ago in the exact same spot. I like the Trophy Ridge sights, but now I don't know if I would want to try another one. Any suggestions???

      I wonder if over torquing the locking bolt is leading to this. Sure looks like it is cranked pretty hard. Sorry it broke, but I bet they replace it for ya. Personally I would move to another brand.

        Are you over tightening the screw? Man thats kinda weird.

          I think if I were over tightening the screw it would have broken to the side of the clamp, not the arm. I did tighten it up a bit though, it kept coming loose and sliding on me. I just didn't think it was all that tight. But I still think it would've broken on the clamping side and not the support side. Does that make sense???

              Thanks, Ty!!! I just got the Phone # and I'll email them the pics. Just hope this isn't going to be an ongoing thing. What issues did you have, if you don't mind me asking.

                One quick phone call and replacement is on its way . No hassles or explanations needed. Just asked for address and that was it. Trophy Ridge has Awesome CS, just wish this one lasts.

                          Is a different material used or just a better clamp???

                              That's what Trophy Ridge said they would do.
