Axcel Achieve XP Sight

Axcel Achieve XP is the latest and now top of the line target sight for archery in the Axcel line of sights.

We compare the Achieve XP to the Achieve Carbon.

Those locks on the elevation and windage may be for people tampering with your sight. It's sad but I've heard of people tampering with other people's sights when unattended, usually at fixed distance competitions. I think it's a good feature to have. Makes it a little more difficult for someone to just give your sight a few cranks when you're not looking.

I ordered this sight from my local archery shop and it took them 3 months to get it in. I'm upgrading from a Trophy Ridge so this is a HUGE upgrade.

Is this much better than the Shibuya Ultima?

Bought the Axcel Achieve XP and love it, it's a clear upgrade over the Achieve CXL, but if you already have an Achieve CXL, it wouldn't be worth the cost of the upgrade, not for what you get.

One of the best things about the XP, besides the metal sight tapes, is the Wedgelock that mounts onto your bow, but you can buy that separately anyway. The Vertical adjust and Windage adjust locks are nice features, but I can't really see any NEED for them, but they might be nice if you're at a tournament and your rivals are... sketchy.

When I bought the XP, I tried to fit my Shrewd Minimag into the barrel that came with the XP and the Shrewd thread was about a CM too short, so I had to purchase a threaded barrel from Axcel to make it fit, bit of a pain considering the price of the sight is already so high, it would be nice if they included more than one barrel, but I don't regret buying this sight, the thing is bulletproof.

The BIGGEST issue I have found, and it's something that is irritating but not a deal breaker, is that the sight bar does not have any numbers on it, there is no reference for the indentations, you'll either need to make a reference mark or count the notches are you are putting the sight back on.

Axcel will have their newer version out before Sure-loc releases their Carbonic sight. Thank god I decided on the Acheive for my Shootdown.


How did your tourney go?

You mission, if you choose to accept it, is to make a vid to build An Olympic style recurve bow for those on a budget, your limit = $400

Steven, is there a reason the metal tapes couldn’t be fitted to the older sight? It appears the older sight has enough metal that it could be drilled and tapped for screws or simply use a silicone adhesive to hold distance tape onto metal. What are your thoughts?

Some will use this sight for hunting. Locking features brings an extra level of confidence.

Are you filming in a building in front of a green screen? The echo is messing with me..
