Does the Black Gold Ascent fit a Mathews ARC?
Direct fit with the Bridge-Lock version. The ARC has the Mathews through-riser slot, and the Black Gold Ascent is offered in a Bridge-Lock dovetail, so it slides straight through with no adapter.

Whether the Black Gold Ascent fits the ARC comes down to its Bridge-Lock sight mount.

| What to order | Black Gold Ascent, Bridge-Lock dovetail version |
| Trap | order the Bridge-Lock version, not the standard bracket dovetail |
The Mathews ARC sight mount is a Bridge-Lock interface, so whether the Black Gold Ascent fits depends on the mounting bar, not the sight head.
The Black Gold Ascent is a dovetail sight offered in a Bridge-Lock version, which is why it drops into a Mathews slot but needs a base change for a Picatinny rail and cannot use a Center Mass slot.
