Default Need Some Help!

I have a problem that i cant seem to figure out on my own. Its not that complex of a problem, but its still a problem. For years i have shot a single pin that was on slider, that i could just slide to the yardage and shoot.
but now i am on a three pin system; green, yellow and red, and i really dont have a clue on how to adjust this for longer yard shots, you know, set up the pins for longer then 25 yard shots?
i think i know how to start it, but im not sure...
dont you have to get your 25 yard pin set up right, then go on from there?
how do you know where/what to set your next pin for? since the green one woould be for 25, what would be next?
i am greatly confused on this...HELP IS NEEDED ASAP!!!
Thank you

I always set my top pin by adjusting the whole sight, then go to the next farthest pin and adjust using the pin itself. You will have to use some guessing when first setting the pin till you fine tune it in...Once you get the first two set your next one will have a little more gap than the first two and so on but you only have 3 so you will be done....Good Luck with it!!!

go to 20 yards or so, set your top pin, then go to about 30 yards and set your middle pin, then go to 45 yards and set your bottom pin....

so i should start with the top pin at 20-25 yds, then go bout 30-35 yds, and then 45-50 yds...
do i move only the pin or the whole thing with adjusting the first pin?

my sights wont allow you to adjust the first pin, I gotta adjust the whole sight for the first pin, then work off of that
