sighting in a compound bow

[jayp2691]

I just bought a compound bow with a 60# draw weight, how far should I sight my bow and I have 3 sight pegs?

How ever far you want to make the sight pegs good for I guess.....

20, 30, 40.... is what i had mine before i switched over to a micro sight with only one peg !!! but keep the # on your bow around there, that way your good in the winter time without your muscles freezing...

Good Luck

It kind of depends on your skill and your bow speed. But, a good middle ground for both is 20-30-40, which is what I use. Just know you have to aim little lower for the really close shots. If you dont feel comfortable at 40 yards maybe try 10-20-30 or even just 20-30. Its mostly personal preference really.

20-30-40 is pretty common, but, if you have a spot you hunt all the time, and the key shooting spot is 25 yards from your stand (corrected for height), then set one to 25 so you don't have to interpolate. What I mean is, 20-30-40 is great, but may not be best for your situation.

Like everyone else has said, it's pretty much up to you where you want to set them at. If I were you (just starting out) I would set my pins at 10-20-30 yards. You can always re-sight it for longer ranges as you get better at shooting.

This is of course is assuming you purchased a three pin sight.

It sounds like you're just getting started and a 15 yards pin might be a great top pin setting. Then back out 10 yards to 25 yards for the second pin and the same thing repeated for the third pin. I'd just get use to the first pin well before I'd tell you to challenge yourself on the second pin or third.

Believe me if you shoot anything under 6 yards you better use the 35 yards pin.

I am kind of different when it comes to sighting in multiple pins. I start at 17, 27 & 37. Something about the 7's that are lucky.

I'd shoot 20-30-40 for deer size and smaller game. For elk, I would go 30-40-50.
