Default Sight question

I got a new tribute and on my site the first pin for 20yrds is a little below the center on the sight. The sight has 5 pins so it does not allow me enough vertical adjustment for the other pins. Is it ok to move the 20 yard pin more towards the top of the sight to allow usage of the other pins?

I don't see a problem there.

I keep my top pin about 1/3 of the way down from the top so if I have to hold a draw, I can keep the deer in the top open window above the sight.

For strictly competition, put them wherever you want.

Yes but you will have to make other adjustments to the sight like lowering the sight ring

You are saying the top pin is halfway down the center of the pin guard?
If so and its hitting the target where desired then I can see your concern for the other pins.
I found that when I replaced my old bow and started shooting a few years back with much shorter a2a bows I had to find a lower anchor point to acomodate the pins.
If your shooting a peep on the string move it up a bit and try to get comfortable with the new anchor,that will definately bring the pin back up where it belongs.

Put the third (middle)pin in the center of the sight ring, figure out what yardageyou will use this pin for, sight it in, then sight in your closer and further pins accordingly. I personally use three pins (20, 30, and 40 yards) for hunting. On my bow, anything 20 yards or less has very little, or no arc in the arrow trajectory. I've never shot competition, so I can't say that five pins is too many for everyone.
