Sighting in dilema

newman1 · 05-02-2005, 02:38 PM

Today i went to the range to sight in my allegiance and have a problem.The bow is shooting 313 fps. and i am using a copper john sight.In order to get the pins set at 20-30-40 yards i have to put the pins so close together that it looks like one big blur[:@]If there is anyone who is shooting around this speed,what do you have your pins set at?????????Thanks in advance.

newman1,
If your sight pins are literally that close together, why not just use one pin, or even two? What has worked for me in the past on a different bow was to put on 2 pins. One for 20 yds and one for 40. They were very close together but didn't cause a blur. Then for 30 yds I just centered the bullseye between the 20 and 40 yard pins.

Just an option.

I agree, try less pins

When I had my SlayR shooting 308fps I had very good success with pins set at 25, 35 and 45 yards. With the 25 yard pin I hit about 3/4" high and 20 yards and about 1 1/2" low at 30 yards. It was sweet as pie for 3D. For hunting I still like a single pin set for 25 yards.

You need some good old fashioned 2315's or 2317's

The problem there is i just layed out some serious coin for these arrows.
