Default RE: Sighting in G5 Optix sight - Please help

There really isn't that much to it. However, you definitely need to sight in the floating pin first or you may find yourself starting over if you start with the 20 yd pin and work your way down.

If you are like most shooters the floating pin will start at 50 yds. Turn the dial so that the 50 yd pin is as high as it will go but with the dial clicked into position. You will know what I'm talking about when you rotate the dial and feel it click as you turn. Then sight in the 50 yd pin at 4 yds by moving the whole housing for your vertical adjustment. This is easy to accomplish with the micro-adjust. You want to be hitting dead center at 40 yds.

If you do not have a 50 yd range or you aren't that stable shooting at 50 yds right now the 4 yd sighting in will help you get the sight pretty close for setting the rest of your pins.

Use the sheet that comes with the instructions and set the pin spacing based on the velocity of one of your arrows. If you do not have the velocity I'd try 265 as a starting point for 20 yds. This will get you pretty close. If you find you've moved the 20 yd pin as low as it will go then adjust the whole housing down.
