Welcome to the forums! I assume you are starting out with a bow that is in tune? If so, sighting in is quite simple. Chase the arrow. If you shoot high, raise the pin. If you shoot to the right, move the pin to the right. Chase it. Small amounts.

I am with MOBO being under the assumption that the bow is properly tuned but if the bow is not tuned I recomend you take the bow to a pro shop to have them set it up and to explain to you what they are doing and why. or if you are a DIY kind of guy some one herecan help you out to get you headed in the right direction on how to make the proper adjustments.

Thanks guys. I have a one year old parker phoniex 34 with a 70lb draw.
the bow has not been shot much at all. The site is brand new never been set. It has 5 pins and a yardage and windage setting. Thanks for the info again.

Thanks

Parker is a good bow
once you start shooting at different yardages to set up your pins you will be able to tell a littlebetter if the rest is properly ligned up or not.
