Levi Morgan's Tip on Sighting in a Bow! Easy!

[jjaimes]

I have not watched the video yet. But I always use the distances below to sight in new sights.

7 yards = 20 yard pin
5 yards = 30 yard pin
4 yards = 40 yard pin.

I tried out this method with my sighted bow and it does work as I suspected!! I tried it at all distances and it shot at all those distances the same!

Thanks jjaimes. Thats good to know..

Question, I just ordered a single pin sight. When I put it on do I have to get the bow re tuned? I'm also very new to archery.

The bow doesn't need retuning although you will need to level the new sight on all axis's.

x2 on this.. If your bow is already properly tuned you dont need to retune it unless you change the strings,cables,knockingpoint, etc.

Your welcome give any of these methods a shot! The "T" can be used to fine tune the sight and the close distance method can be used to set your pins at further ranges faster and easier..Both methods serve a good purpose from what I noticed today..

Super sexy post.

Interesting point to shoot for vertical adjustment at longer distances. I learned from the horizontal and vertical line methods from a PSE i-pub while looking for manual online.

TBHers Rat has OP'ed a thread and Enewman among others haunt the tuning forum and will never steer you wrong..intentionally. Archery shops are in the game to write off their habit and/or make money...you will get some story, not necessarily the whole story or the correct story....that is right for you. There are so many variables that what one persons trajectory for their arrow to cross the line of sight at 3 yds and then again at 50yds might be anothers 3yds up and 55yds down.

God is great. Meat is tasty.

Watched a guy do this the night before an LSBA shoot. He'd picked a new bow up on the trip, chrono'd it at the shop and left with it. Watching him step out on the porch of the hotel and shoot back into the room piqued my interest so I just had to ask. Beat me by 12 the next day with a bow he'd never shot past 10yds.

PSE 2008 Bow setup and tuning. Not absolute but decent.

I use this method as well, but as for the 7, 5, 4 yard method, i may have to try on my back up bow.

I noticed when I tried this method out that at 5 and 4 yards there was really no point of impact change maybe because of the speed of the bow? It did get me close at40 yards and made it easy to fine tune it a bit more so anything helps!

Yes this is the same thing I was thinking at some point the arrow has to fall and intersect just like a bullet does! Looks like 2 yards will have it dead if not close to 50 yards good stuff!

I would think with different speeds you would get different intersect points versus impact points or yardages.

I tried this today...dead on.

[Limbwalker]

It works. I've used this method for years. Then go to the 20, 30, and 40 yard distances and see

Pretty smart really.

The arrow (or bullet) crosses the sight path twice. Once on the way up, and again on the way down.

True. His numbers work for his setup, but they will be close enough for most folks to keep them on the target at the longer distances, which will save time and arrows.
