A few years ago I bought a Red Wing Hunter for my wife to shoot. When I got it there was part of a sight attached to it and the only thing that Identifies it is the name Wing on the lock/thumb screw head. This sight has a bracket that mounts to the bow that has hex hole thru it that a hex bar with line scribed in it fits into and is held in place with the thumb screw. On the end of this hex bar is a small flat plate running vertical that has 2 slots in it where 2 screws mount another bracket with a dovetail in it. I assume that there should be a sight pin mounting bar that fits into this dovetail.

I would like to find the parts to make this a complete sight. Does anyone know where I might find one of these sight pin mounting bars with sight pins.

Will try to get pictures next week.

Pictures are a must. I don't know that Wing ever made a sight, but used other manufacturers....so a photo may clear it up.

The base appears to be a Reynolds, to accept their sight bar. Not sure who made the extension and mount for Wing. Looks to be early 70's as the Chek-It took over most of the target sight market by the mid 70's.

Any Idea where I could fine the missing parts?
