Can I ask why your wanting to switch sights?
I currently run a hogg father on my RX5 ultra and I’m wanting to switch to Axcel also

I have had the Accutouch carbon on another bow and liked the weight as well as Axcels scopes a lot more than my hoggfather. However on the mechanical side of things I've never been a fan of Axcel's friction kind of slider system and now that they have switched to a gear system (that actually looks a lot like Spothogg's) I think it's the best of both...

 

I keep 4 either side of the tape I’m actually using. Come in handy if you shoot different arrows. Just change the tape. ( order extra screws. Those things are tiny!)

Just wondering if anyone can tell Me the size etc of the screws that hold the metal sight tape on as I have lost one on my axcel landslyde and cannot find a replacement anywhere. Any help will be much appreciated.

 

Just an FYI there is a long wait for the new Axcel Landslyde sights, it seams that they didn’t manufacture ahead of the ATA Show

 

Do they make tapes to 120 yards? Looks like they stop at 100

 

I haven’t seen an axcel metal tape past 100 yds. I keep about marking and etching marks out to 125

 

If your shooting 280fps + you should have plenty of room on your tape to reach out to 150’

 

Well, on the Spot Hogg tapes, at 290fps, I can dial it out well past 100 yards, but just like Axcel, the tapes stop at 100. I end up making my own notches or gaping as I've found typically the differences between 90 and 100 are basically the same as 100 to 110, and 110 to 120.

I guess with the metal tapes, you could just scratch a mark into it provided it's long enough. Not sure how much extra room they give on those to really do that. Given they are a premium product for a more serious archer, they should just make 120 yard tapes imo.

 

I totally agree. I think it’s more of a question of scope/ vane clearance when you get that low on the tape. That’s why I have a AV25 I can switch out for the long shots.

 

Also on the XP , the other side of the elevation block has scales the full length of the block . I use the sight tape for my VTAC 23s in 3D and the block scales for my RIP TKOs and VAPs in field archery. Easily reaches out to 120’ with a TRX 38 at #55.

 

I shoot a landslide and am around 290 fps. Seemed like the metal tapes I got were for slower speeds. The stickers aren’t bad at all bet I will end up ordering the metal one that I need

I know this is an old thread but what FPS goes with what sight tape # for the landsylde?

 

There isn’t a direct correlation between FPS and sight tape. Bow speed + distance between your peep and scope dictate the sight scale.

 

Scope vane clearance is critical. I wish I had more clearance as well.

 

the landlside comes with the most common tapes for the metal ones. you dont have a full set but the most common are in ther.e i didnt have an issue using the metal tapes that came with my landslide.

 

You should be able to find a screw that would fit at a hardware store. Thread patterns and sizes are fairly standard even despite the screw possibly being proprietarily built for the sight manufacturer. Usually they have three gauges So you can bring the cal dew you have down to match it up.
