An Iron Sight is Born

The journey to make the Fiber Optic Sight starts off at a place called ADR Hydrocut in Morrisville, NC. They cut out the frame from 3/16" thick aluminum using a water jet. A water jet uses a 50,000 psi stream of water and abrasive to cut the frame of the Fiber Optic Sight from the 3/16" thick 6061 aluminum. The water jet is a process that doesn't generate heat so the properties of the billet aluminum are maintained.

We then take the parts and bring them back to our shop where they are tumbled to remove any burrs. We then take the batch of Fiber Optic Sights to Triangle Coatings in Raleigh, NC for powder coat. Powder coating is a process where the parts are given an electrical charge then sprayed with a dry powder that has the opposite charge. The difference in electrical charges makes the powder stick to the metal. The parts go in an oven that melts the powder, resulting in a very robust and consistent finish. This means your Montie Gear Fiber Optic Sight is ready for a lifetime of use.

Once these steps are complete, we meticulously assemble the fiber optic components onto the frame. Your Montie Gear Fiber Optic Sight is now ready for decades of use. We really mean it when we designed this product for you to pass along to your grand children.

Care and Maintenance

  • Always examine the band and pouch before use for small nicks, tears, or punctures that may cause the band to break.  If you find any flaws, immediately discard the product and replace before use.
  • Before use, check that screws are tight and band is secure and evenly distributed between the frame and side plate
  • Store all bands out of direct sunlight and away from extreme temperatures.  This is important to maximize the life of the band, especially in storage.
  • Never use rocks or other sharp objects as ammunition.  Rocks and sharp objects will damage the band and pouch.
  • After contact with chlorinated water, rinse the bands with tap water and dry flat.
  • If the bands becomes sticky, clean with mild soap and water, dry flat, and then dust with talcum powder.

Note: Please keep in mind that the slingshot bands are made from a natural material. This means that we have no way of predicting the life of the band. Even the best maintained bands can fail inexplicably or have a short life time. Despite our best efforts, using high quality industry standard materials and testing; approximately 1% of the bands fail early. As a result we strongly encourage you to purchase extra bands. We do not provide a warranty of any kind on bands.
