When setting your pins (at whatever range), I put a pin at the bottom of the sight, aim at the target, and shoot a three arrow group (regardless of where the arrow goes) the main thing is consistent grouping. When you have a good group, you hold your pin on the spot your were aiming before, then loosen it and move it to where the arrows actually hit. After moving the pin, shoot a couple more groups. You should now be in the area you are aiming at. Again if the groups are consitent, you make the adjustment to where the arrows are hitting. This is just like siting in a rifle scope. After you have the first one sited, its easy. But when you start out you may not want to site in all your pins in one shooting. Do to fatigue, your pins can sometimes jump around. Anyway, now move back to your next range. Aim with the pin you just shot with until you have good groups, be sure you aim at the same place everytime. When you have good groups, hold that pin where you were aiming, and adjust your second pin to piont where your arrows went, with your first pin still aiming at the target. Again, make any final adjustments, and repeat for the other pins that you desire.

Being a begginer, I would prob start at 15yrds and go to 30yrds, at five yard increments....35yrds at the most with 10yrd increments.

I having been shooting bows since I was about 12 or 13, and only shoot 2 pins with my current bow, one does my from 15-25yrds. And the other out to about 35yrds. I' ve killed my last three deer with this setup at different ranges.

Bowhunting is extremely frustrating, can be at times dificult to get a handle on. I' ve seen many bowhunters come and go because they couldnt hack it. You get all set up, practice hard, you just keep going out, and going out till you get so mad and frustrated you want to throw your bow from a tree. I' ve been so pissed off at the sport that I' ve cried at missing big bucks, or having one walk just out of range(and I' m not ashamed to admit it!) But the fact of the matter is, your day will come!! I always thought I would never kill a deer when I first started....but I was determined, and after 4 long years, it happened...and that was the most memorable day of my life (next to my wedding day)!! It seems like once you get the first, it becomes somewhat easier, because of the stress factor. But regardless you will have good years and bad years, but you always have the memories.

Sorry to ramble on, but when I see new bowhunters, I do as much as I can to help out. Just remember to stick with it.

Man I wish I had a career doing this stuff !! I Love It!!!
