Even at 10 yds you can miss a target and10 yds would be the highest point of your arrow's arc at 20 yds. Therefore, if yousight the pin on at 10 you will be low at 20. You'd be better off sighting the 20 at 6 or 7 yds.

Depending on the sight you may not want to start with your 20 yd pin. For example, G5 recommends you start with your 50 and then set your 20 if you have one with the floating pin. You can get your 50 close by sighting that pin in at3 or 4 ydsyds. 3 or 4 yds being the first place your arrow would cross a straight line from your eye to the target. 50 being the second point and your target. This will also help get your left to right corrected and also start the process.You can probably get the 50, 40, 30 & 20 close by starting at 4 yds, then going to 5, 6, & 7.

Dave,
The thread title says it all. EASIEST!!! And G5 may recommend that, but I'd seriously doubt many guys do it that way.
