Trophyridge sights

Coming back from elk hunting I"m a bit frustrated with my Trophyridge sight. I hunt elk with my bow in some unforgiving country. I pick my gear because I can't have failure of my equipment on the mtn. I shoot daily all summer long, and make sure everything is ready. First day out, I sneak in on a 6point quartering away at 32 yrds and a 7 point behind him. I try to get into postion to shoot the 7 point and they bust me. No biggie, first day, enjoying the experience. I sit down and realize my sight just moved. The slide mount for the verticle adjustment had bent when I tightened it down, causing slop in the sight. The soft aluminum was now slightly hour glass shaped. I wish I could say I am that strong. But I'm suprised that the aluminum would flex like that. I went back to camp and tried to shim it to get through the hunt. I had other opportunities to shoot bulls, but my confidence was shot. I knew in the back of my mind that I couldn't guarantee shot placement, so I never took a shot. Has anybody had an experience like this with a Trophyridge sight? I will contact customer service tomorrow. Just wanted to get some feedback.
 
I have the Trophy Ridge Lite 1 quiver, Trophy Ridge Whisker Biscuit rest, and Trophy Ridge React H5 site. All of them seem to be built extremely well,especially the site. Most of it is made of some sort of polymer so it doesnt rust which i like. That Being said, the site does have those small square aluminum spacers at the base of each pin that are very fragile if you over tighten them.

This bow however has only seen back yard shooting and treestand hunting. An elk hunt in rough terrain is a whole other test of duarability.
