Need a refresher...fixing to start shooting my new bow, and cant remember do I follow the arrow with my pins or move the pins opposite of the way the arrow is shooting.....If I am shooting high, do I move the pins up or down.

Thanks, It has been a couple years since I have shot, and I always get my gun and bow confused.

Shootin high, move pin up.

Shootin low, move pin down.

Follow your arrow, so if your arrow is hitting right, mover your pins right and vice versa. So if your shooting high mover your pins up.

Follow your arrow....dont know why I seem to forget that....thanks guys..

One more question, My bow has 3 pins on it...On my old bow I tried to set a 10, 20, and 30 yard pin....but the bow shot flat enough that I could not move the 20 yard pin high enough, it would touch the 10...so my question is how do you utilize the 3 pins...what yardages do you set them at....Do I need to forget about a 10 yard pin altogether and just start with a 20.

I have a 5 pin sight and I set mine for 20, 30, 40, 50, 60. Well really I only use the 20, 30 and 40yd pins. Just forget about the 10yd pin, your 20yd will cover that distance just fine.

Depends on your bow and arrow combination but ussually with a 3 pin setup you would use your top pin from 0-20 or 0-25yds. then adjust in 10 yard increments on the other two. alot had to do with personal preference also.

Sounds like you need to move the whole sight assembly up or down a bit. Then you should be able to set all the pins correctly.

When I was little, I sighted in my .22 and could never get it!! lol. I always moved my sights towards the Bullseye and not the Bullet hole.

If you dont take an extra 5 seconds to think about it... it does confuse u hah

That rule applies to any weapon when you are adjusting the front sight.
If you ever adjust the rear sight, like on a rifle with iron sights, it's the opposite.

I remember it by the fact that I always follow my arrows downrange when I shoot them (to get them back), but not when I shootbullets.

My pins are set 20-30-40 yds. Using my 20 yd pin at 10 yds. it is only 2 inches high, also you may need to move your whole site up or down to center your pins first.
