If you have a micro adjustable pins or even replaceable pins on your sight, back up to 20 yards and shoot your 10 yd pin, loosen the pin attaching screwand move the pin down in relation to where the arrow hits on target alot of times your pins need only a minute bit of moving. Remember down with the pin is up with thearrow. If your bow is fast enough like many are these days you may only have to move very little, if at all. If you have an up down adjustable sight housing like one of mine is then you can simply do this by moving the entire housing down to compensate and kill three birds with one stone. If you mainly treestand hunt you may look into a pendulum sight that automatically ranges most often out to 30-40 yds depending on the bow speed simply by the angle the bow is held toward the animal from an elevated posistion.
