RE: sight pin question
up towards the 20 yard pin.... if you move the sights up to the top, then you have to lower the bow to shoot the same spot. If you drop the sights down lower, then you have to raise the bow, thus shooting higher to hit the same spot.
Trying put the gap between the 20 and 30 on the bullseye and see where it hits. That will give you an idea of where to move the 30 yard up to.

RE: sight pin question
my old adage is "move the sights the direction your missing" if you missing the bull high, move the pin up.
another trick is to shoot a group at 30yds with your 20yd pin. extend your bow out like your at full draw and put the 20yd on the bull like it was when you shot...move the 30yd pin to where the group is keeping the 20yd pin on the bull...sounds harder than it is...i find it very effective at getting my pins pretttty dang close....shot 30yd pin at 40 to set the 40....shoot 50yd with 40yd pin to set the 50.....works for me....
