Whether the Black Gold Ascent fits the LIFT RS comes down to its Bridge-Lock sight mount.
The two ends
| Bow sight mount | Mathews Bridge-Lock through-riser dovetail slot |
|---|---|
| Sight | Black Gold Ascent, a Bridge-Lock-capable dovetail sight |
| What to order | Black Gold Ascent, Bridge-Lock dovetail version |
| Trap | order the Bridge-Lock version, not the standard bracket dovetail |
The Mathews LIFT RS 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.
