The Elite Artus uses a RAC Picatinny sight mount. Whether the Black Gold Ascent Verdict fits, what version to order, and the trap.

Does the Black Gold Ascent Verdict fit a Elite Artus?
Needs a Picatinny base. The Artus mounts the sight on a Elite RAC Picatinny rail, so the Black Gold Ascent Verdict dovetail bar will not clamp to it. Add a Picatinny base or use the Black Gold Ascent Verdict in a Picatinny mount if one is offered.

Black Gold Ascent Verdict, a Bridge-Lock-capable dovetail sight
Whether the Black Gold Ascent Verdict fits the Artus comes down to its RAC Picatinny sight mount.
The two ends
| Bow sight mount | Elite RAC Picatinny riser rail |
|---|---|
| Sight | Black Gold Ascent Verdict, a Bridge-Lock-capable dovetail sight |
| What to order | A Picatinny base for the Black Gold Ascent Verdict, or a Picatinny-mount version |
| Trap | a Bridge-Lock dovetail bar is a different interface from a Picatinny rail |
The Elite Artus sight mount is a RAC Picatinny interface, so whether the Black Gold Ascent Verdict fits depends on the mounting bar, not the sight head.
The Black Gold Ascent Verdict 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.
