Well just joined the forum picking up a tonne of information....Bought my first bow a year ago and it was in the garage collecting dust. Enough was enough and took it out of the case and started playing around with it at the farm. Now tone down your laughter everyone cause here is my question. What are the site yardages? I have the three sites and I believe there 20-30 and 40 yard markers. Also what is the quickest way to site them in??? Any advice would be great....

Welcome to Bowzone nuhunter!! You have come to the right place for info and help there are many members here who are very accomplished archers. Assuming I understand your question correctly, 20,30,&40 yards are good distances to set your pins at. In a 3pin site this is probably most common. In order to site them in you will need to find an area that is long enough to shoot these distances. Start in very close to make sure that your pins are close enough to hit the target reasonbly close to where you aim. then work your way back to your 20 yard distance. Move your site in the direction that your arrow is off the mark. In other words if the arrow hits high move the site pin up. I like to center my peep so that I can center the entire pin guard in the peep and shoot each pin to it's allotted distance. This method is best used with a round pin guard. Also if using the way I have described above one other helpful tip is to have your middle pin in the very middle of the pin guard this will require you to move the entire site head to get it to the right spot and then adjust your 20 &40 yard pins accordingly. Hope this helps rather than confuse you ask away if you have more questions. Good luck archery is a great sport.

Answers my question perfectly. I was out and got the 20 yard site in pretty accurately but wasn't sure if I should set it for 20. Going tonight to try 30 and 40 yards. Thanks for your help........

Welcome aboard

About 2 years back, did the same as you, bows were collecting dust and was not to sure what to do with them. Got back into the bows and there was such a change in the bows and accessories on the market did not know which way to turn. Joined BOWZONE and could not believe the information on this site. Picked up Hoyt Xtec and two more Hoyts for my boys and we had a great year bowhunting. Hope that you stay with it because when them there animals or within ten yards of you, that is about the best rush that anyone could ever have.

Thanks for the responses guys sorry it's been so long since I checked. I am from High River Ab. Living in town but the inlaws have a farm not ten minutes from me so I am now addicted and find myself out there shooting as often as possible!!!!!! Here comes my next nubie question. When trying to get my 20 in, I can see the highlited part on the left and there is also one on the right. The issue is that the arm holding it comes into the PSE site and you can only see the one highlite not the one on the right. If I move the site so that the one on the left is directly on the target, it is almost impossible to see because of the bow itself coming into play. Are there better sites I should possible be looking at to, or am I doing something completely stupid. Any advice is perfect. I have it so I am hitting basically within an inch or 2 where I want but it's more of a guess whether I have that site in the middle or not.
