Default RE: Sighting in a 3 pin sight

ORIGINAL: duckman1

if you had a traget at 5 yrd dont you use your 40 yrd pin ? this has happened to me at a 3d shoot

No, not five yards. Five feet or so. Actually I was checking mine last year (the bow is shooting 282fps) and I used my 25 yard pin to hit dead on at 5 yards. Really what I what I sis was set the sight for 25 yards and then shoot all the other yardages in five yard increments out to 30 yards to see where my POI was at each of those yardages.
So set at 25 yards I was dead on at 5 yards, 10 and 15 was about 1" or less high, 1 1/2" high at 20 yards and about 2" low at 30 yards. I should have put it in my log what the speeds were, too. I had set my chrono in front of each target to see what speeds were at the respective yardages. Brain Fart.
