Custom Sight Tapes in Sarasota

Sight tapes should match your actual arrow trajectory, not a generic chart or online calculator. At Sarasota Archery Academy, we build Doppler-verified custom sight tapes using real arrow data, environmental measurements, and field validation to ensure your marks track perfectly from 20 yards to long range.

Whether you're a hunter needing dependable 20–60 yard accuracy, a 3D archer dialing yardage, or a target archer shooting known distances, our custom sight tapes provide confidence, consistency, and precision.

What Makes Our Sight Tapes Different?

Most generic sight tapes are based on estimated arrow speeds and assumed ballistic curves. We use a measured, data-driven process to build a tape that matches your bow, your arrow, and your real trajectory.

• Doppler-measured arrow speed using LabRadar®
• Speed decay measured over distance
• Environmental data recorded (temperature, humidity, air density)
• Sight & peep geometry measured from your bow
• Ballistic software modeling for accurate curve generation
• Printed, waterproof sight tapes matched to your bow’s wheel
• Field validation at real distances

Your tape is built around your specific arrow flight profile, not a generic manufacturer chart.

The Custom Sight Tape Process

Every sight tape is built using a measured, multi-step process:

1. Arrow speed capture: We measure true arrow velocity with Doppler radar, including speed decay.
2. Environmental measurements: Air density and weather data affect trajectory.
3. Sight & peep geometry: We record your sight radius, scope-to-arrow alignment, and peep height.
4. Ballistic modeling: We generate your custom trajectory curve.
5. Field validation: We shoot at real distances to confirm the tape’s accuracy.

The end result is a sight tape that tracks perfectly — no guessing, no inconsistencies, no surprises at long range.
