sighting in?

DarkDawg · 10-12-2005, 01:59 AM

what do you guys and girls all sight your bow into?
if you have 3 pins ...what sights for each pin do you sight it in to?
say if you had a 70# bow what would you sight it in..
i know the popular yardage is 10 20 and 30 yards..

If I was shooting 70#, I'd sight in at 20, 30 & 40yds. You probably won't see that much difference between 10 and 20 yds

What Bass said. There is absolutely no reason to have a 10 yard pin on any modern bow. There is only about 1" difference between 10 and 20, and all it does is clutter up the sight picture.

I started at 20 and went up from there. I have pins out to 60 yards but those are not for hunting.

I have three pins: 20, 30, 40yds

i sight in 20 and 30 if i have to shoot anyfarther it better be a world class buck

Set at 20 and 30.
Then use the third pin's gap as a "rangefinder" to size up an incoming deer.

20, 30, 40 and 50 if I have an extra pin. Some set them up at 25, 35, and 45 though.

i tend to go with 25,35,45 i find i shoot so close at 10 with my 25 that i will oly hit about an inch or so high and that is very acceptable .
