sighting in pins

Quilly · 12-31-2002, 04:04 AM

i was told since my bow shoots fast that i should set my pins at 20 yds 30yds and 40yds. he said 20yds instead of 10yds since my bow is a straight shooter.

when sighting in the pins once i sight in at 20yds do i have to adjust the 30yd and 40yd pin speeratly? or will i just have to more " fine tune " it?

I have mine set to 20, 30, 40. If your pins are set for this bow and broadheads then you only have to resight on only one of the pins. The rest will still be the same as long as you haven't changed anything else.

If your bow is as quick as you say, there is no reason to have a 10 yd pin, just use your 20 for anything closer. Your broadheads may or may not fly differently than your practice tips. You definitley want to find out.

I disagree with them. When you buy your broadheads mark one and use it as a sacrificial head. They make targets for broadheads, they work great. If they do shoot different you can: Tune your bow, move your sights or try a mechanical head.
