    Question about sighting first new bow

    I have had my first bow about a week and have been to the range a few times and have the 20 yard pin dialed in. The next step is to head outside and work on my next pin. My question is how much below the 20 pin should I start out with the 30 pin and likewise the 40 pin. I know I'll have to shoot it and just bring them in but I would prefer to start out relatively close and not screw up or loose any arrows.

    The bow is fairly fast, it is a Diamond Dead Eye 30" draw and currently set at 65lbs, he advertized speed is 343fps

    Thanks, Jason

    Put your 20 pin on top of target and shoot from 30. Then set your 30 pin where arrow hit while holding 20 at top of target.this should get you real close. do the same thing for your 40 after you get 30 dialed in. Use 30 at top of target and shoot from 40

      I would say put your 20yd pin on the top of the bullseye circle. You should only have about a 2-3" difference,
      The pin set should be about one pins width gap between

        Thanks guys. With ghat little amount of drop do most guys forgo the 30 yard pin and just have a 20 pin and then go to a 35 or 40 yard pin?

          Almost always it starts at 20 and goes up in 10yd increments. That said, it's a personal decision. I shoot 20-80 in 10yds increments

            Its going to depend on your bow speed.
