Follow your arrow. Best way I can describe sight adjustment.

miss left = move pin left (small increments at a time)
miss low = move pin down
miss right = move pin right
miss high = move pin up

Like everyone else said. On a side note as with any kind of shooting there are two kinds of success, precision and accuracy.

Precision =The ability of a measurement to be consistently reproduced.

You seem like you have this one under control (grouping) and this is usually the harder of the two.


Accuracy = Hitting where you are actually aiming.

Easy to correct, usually just invovles adjutment of the actual sight not a flaw in the shooter.

Good luck.

Also try shooting at a 3 or 5 spot target to prevent damaging your arrows.

I got a 5 target block but because they are in accurate I didn't want to chance missing the target and losing arrows. So I've been shooting at the right targets. Its a consistant low left at 40 yards and consitant left at 30. Almost dead on at 20 yards.

Tweek you pins at those ranges to the left and once you get better accuaracy and feel confident I would start shooting 1 arrow per spot.

Second that. Once your 20 yd pin is dead, adjust your longer distance pins and start shooting spots. You'll find very few people here who will continue to shoot groups after intial sight in.

Well guys I'm Zero'd at 20-40 yards its not as tough as a rifle by a long shot. I think when my buddy gets home I'll show him my nasty groups at 30 and 40 yards! You know I never thought I'd enjoy a bow as much as I do but man they sure are nice, fun to shoot with. I can't wait for hunting season this fall!

That's great to hear! Bows are addicting. I just got my GF into archery and am in the process of buying her a bow too. Now stick it to your friend on the range!

Yeah I got a boar at bass pro with replaceable vitals I just put on training wills and I'm going to try and get a rigged pully system so we will have a moving target. We may lose quite a few arrows but it will be fun.
