Here's my take on a recurve bow sight. It's obviously not something you would use in competition but it made a huge difference for me versus no sight. I had never used a sight and didn't know how much it would help or what price point would make sense for me. So I designed this to be cheap and easy so I could try it out.
The design is almost entirely printed but requires a few M4 screws (I used thumb screws for most of them). Of course it also requires two flat head 10-24 screws (I used 1/2" ones) to attach to your riser.
Assembly is pretty obvious. Attach the mount to your riser. Insert the long arm into the mount and secure with an M4 thumb screw. Use two small M4 screws to attach the vertical arm to the horizontal arm. Then slide the short arm onto the vertical arm and attach with another thumbscrew.
The eyepiece slides into the groove on the short horizontal arm and can move back and forth. It is secured with the printed nut. You can optionally also put a M4 screw or thumbscrew into the side for fine adjustment (it only pushes one way).
I've included 5mm and 4mm sights. I've found the 4mm slightly more accurate but I prefer the 5mm.
I had originally designed this for use with female M4 brass inserts. But to keep it simple I ended up printing the threads. On my printer this required me to print 0.10 layers for the threads to be reliable. Everything printed without supports in the orientation I've uploaded it.
Finally, I'm left handed. I haven't tried this on a right handed bow. It should all be reversible but if it isn't let me know in the comments and I should be able to accommodate the right handers.
