Default RE: going from a 200 gr arrow to a 400 grain

ok if i change arrows sight in at 20 yards is there a set amont i can move to before shooting 30 and 40 so i wont be shooting into the woods or something

i know ii will need to move them but say it is sighted at 20 is the a set distance i start with for 30 and 40

when i bought the bow the ******* ate the place i bought it told be right was ready to go after shooting 20 yards i just having bought it did not know
and since i have never whiched a thing i have never had the need to re sight it untill i found out my 30 and 40 was not sighted and where still touching one another
and i am need to whic arrows from what everyone says now i am worrying about my 200 arrow messing up my 500 dollar bow set up

Tim - jumping your arrow weight by200 grains will make a pretty hefty difference, buddy. Your 20 yard mark will definitely move. Also, your other marks will move too - so you can't just move the whole bracket. Your pin gaps will get wider.

Make sure you don't just sight in at 20 yards and leave everything set. Very important.

How do you know your arrows are 200 grs? Did you weight them? What kind of arrows are they? 200 grains - is that including a broadhead of 100 grains or not? if not, then it would be 300 grains..

Tim - Move the whole sight bracket tosight in your 20 yard pin, for starters.

If you're hittinglow, move the whole sight bar down. If you're hitting left, move it left. Hitting high, move it up. Hitting right, move it right.

Once your 20 yard pin is dead on, your 30 and 40 yard pins will probably each need toslide down a hair.

Its easy to sight your bow in. You follow the arrow with your sights.

I.E. Your arrows are hitting high of the bullseye, move your pin up. Hitting low, move the pin down. Right, move it to the right. Get the idea?

I would say get your new arrows and shoot at 20 yards. If your arrows are hitting low then move your whole sight down. This should keep your 30 and 40 yard pin fairly close so you don't shoot a tree.
