Whoa, you need to find a pro shop and get some help. The sight pin you describe sounds like a " springy rest" . It is not a sight pin. Find someone with some experience and you' ll be much happier about it.

Barnett Vortex?? The only bows I' m familiar with that has the Barnett name on it is crossbows. Where did you buy it?

Your statement " I just started bowhunting in the last two weeks" is kind of scary. Bowhunting takes months to get prepared before you ever step into the woods. You cannot (unless you' re in the .0000000000000001% of humans) pick up a bow, and go hunting. You need proper equipment, properly matched equipment, and tons of practice.

Good luck to you, and find that pro-shop.
