The Bear Whitetail Maxx uses a Picatinny In-Line sight mount. Whether the CBE CX-5 fits, what version to order, and the trap.
Updated 05 September 2026.
Does the CBE CX-5 fit a Bear Whitetail Maxx?
Needs a Picatinny base. The Whitetail Maxx mounts the sight on a Hoyt In-Line Picatinny rail, so the CBE CX-5 dovetail bar will not clamp to it. Add a Picatinny base or use the CBE CX-5 in a Picatinny mount if one is offered.
Bow sight mount
Picatinny sight rail (MIL-STD-1913), the Hoyt In-Line family
Sight
CBE CX-5, a Bridge-Lock-capable dovetail sight
Whether the CBE CX-5 fits the Whitetail Maxx comes down to its Picatinny In-Line sight mount.
The two ends
| Bow sight mount | Picatinny sight rail (MIL-STD-1913), the Hoyt In-Line family |
|---|---|
| Sight | CBE CX-5, a Bridge-Lock-capable dovetail sight |
| What to order | A Picatinny base for the CBE CX-5, or a Picatinny-mount version |
| Trap | a Bridge-Lock dovetail bar is a different interface from a Picatinny rail |
The Bear Whitetail Maxx sight mount is a Picatinny In-Line interface, so whether the CBE CX-5 fits depends on the mounting bar, not the sight head.
The CBE CX-5 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.
