More Left!!
Are you trying to setup your Black Gold sight, and finding that you need more left windage?This is a problem that is becoming more common with increasing riser widths. But fear not, most of the time there is a reason why you need more left windage, and it has more to do with your rest and bow tune than the sight itself.
Step 3. We're here to help. This is where years and years of experience with Black Gold sights comes in to play. There is a secret tip that can get you the extra left you need without buying an XL windage bar, and we’re going to share it with you!

Give us a call
STILL need more left? We recommend giving Black Gold a call to inquire about their XL windage bar. Install is super easy if you have the non-micro head, pretty involved if you have the micro-gang adjust (widowmaker) housing. You'll definitely want to discuss with them your options. You can reach them at (406) 388-9060.
