This guide is for sighting in a fixed-pin sight. It is the most common sight and is recommended for hunting and recreation.
The bow sight should be at a right angle to the bow. After installing the sight, let it settle overnight. You may have to tighten it further after it settles.
Try to use a durable target that can take a lot of arrows, as sighting in the bow can take some time and a lot of repetition.
Take note of where the arrows hit compared to the site. If the arrows went above what the pin was indicating, move the sight box up on the bow. Repeat this step until the arrow is not shooting above the top pin. Step back to 20 yards (18. 3 m). Repeat the sighting process, raising the sight box if necessary. Once the arrows are not hitting above the top pin, you can make adjustments for arrows going too far left or right by moving the sight left and right respectively. Don’t worry about perfect accuracy yet, this pin will most likely change.
Remember to move the entire sight box when making adjustments at this stage. Take the time to make the 30 yard (27. 4 m) pin as accurate as possible, because it will not be changing. This will be the anchor of your sight.
The distance between the 30 and 40 yard pins will be greater than the distance between the 20 and 30 yard pins. If you need to readjust your left and right sight placement, return to the 30 yard (27. 4 m) marker on the range and make your adjustments there.
