This is your preference. I like the Sure-Loc and the Shibuya, they are very reliable and are also nice looking.

nothing wrong with the arcsysteme, I've had no problems with it but it is not as beefy as the other two.

I do use the arc system too... you can't clip-off the whole "traveler" as my friends do on their (shibuya, etc...)
To consider when you take dow your gear to put it in your case;) ... i had to butcher up my brand new bow case to have the dam thing to fit somewhere:( ...

the shibuyah dual click one is a nice sight, very reliable much better than any of those cartel junk. the contender-X is good but its abit annoying when you are adjusting vertically. if you want to get a sure-loc, get a Quest-X you won't regret it!

Yeah, the Quest-X has a little button which when pressed allows you to quickly move the sight up or down. The Contender-X requires some unscrewing and then sliding.

The Shibuya Dual Click in one of the fancier anodized colour options is way RADDER than the Arc or Sure-Loc. :thumb:
That said, I've been waiting for my Shibuya Ultima RC in BLUE for more than 3 months now. :(

What about the Sebastian Flute sight, well amde and well priced. I have a dual click and it is nice but the aluminium in the sight block is a bit soft and has worn
same as what has been said, probably though the shibuya, id get a quest X if you wanted a sure loc but its a tad pricy

This is no longer true of the SX10, and I suspect the SX100. It now has a system like the Surelocs. The sight pin, fits in a holder that is fixed with a thumbscrew.
The current SX10 is remarkable good quality for the price you pay. You might want to save yourself a few dollars. The only real difference between the SX10 and my Shibuya Ultima, is that the Ultima is much smoother.
Curiously, the Ultima is not on the list.

Between those, I'd choose the Ultima. Aluminum or carbon extension is your choice.

Thought it'd be more of a Quest-X vs. Ultima RC thing.
The Ultima RC with carbon extension should be lighter. Haven't heard anything bad about the Ultima RC on a recurve but the Ultima CP on a compound's errrr ............ (swallows saliva and goes mum).

didn't know you might have the ultima as an option so i never mentioned i guess if it is one of your options its the best theres is and very smooth and light. great choice! I'd probably go for it now if i was to get another bow.

Just to mess up his decision making, the lightest and highest end (pricewise) Shibuya sight is the Dual Click Extreme. Same like the Dual Clicks but with a carbon elevation block which makes it super light. :D

Forget this comment. The Ultima is the better sight.
