Can you use the factory peep sight and the S5?

[JimG]

Looking at ordering a Pheonix without a scope/red dot. I want to use the rear peep and front sight that Excalibur offers on this bow. I also would like to use the S5 string suppressor as well. Since the dovetail for the front sight is right next to the mounting hole for the S5, is there any compatibility issues? I'm wonding if there is enough room for the front sight to slide far enough to the right without contacting the S5 so that you can adjust for windage. I've never seen an Exacalibur with both the factory front sight and the S5 installed. Thanks.

I use the factory sights and have the S5; it's not a problem, the only thing is that I have to remove the S5 on the side of the riser that the front sight is on to remove it......and that's because it is bent and has a burr that only allows it to be mounted from the outside of the dovetail inwards. As for adjustment, if you need that much travel than you'll be able to shoot around corners......
