awesome, helped a lot. I'm new to archery. I have a sight on my bow similar to yours. What are the yardage marks on the sticks or whatever. Like, I heard one is 20 ones 30 ones 40.

@Hoodwoodsbushcraft14 I like to have mine at 20,30,35,40,45,an 50

So I just had my draw length adjusted from 27'' to 29''. I was shooting it in my backyard, like I always do and my 20 yard pin at 20 yards missed the target low. Same went for my 30 and 40 yard pin. Now here is where I had my problem, I cannot move my pins any lower than they are now. So what do I do?

@jtschid0910 Sorry for the delayed response, I get flooded with youtube comments so it takes me a while to week through them. If you or anyone else is having this issue, I would suggest changing your anchoring point lower.

i am havin a hell of a time sightin my bow in i put a new cobra sight on my bow and my 20 yd pin is killer but i cant seem to get my 30 40 50 60 any good the range i goto always sum wind is that a problem or am i movin my pins the wrong way

[ikesoutdoors]

@bowhunter441 It could be a combination of both. just be sure when you are sighting in your bow to follow the arrow with your sight. So if you are shooting low, move your sight down, if you are shooting high, move your sight up, ect.

when changing your peep what is the best way to take the old string off, or should i just have a shop do it so i dont muck up my string

hi there, just move the whole sight down, i'm sure there is room for you to move it down.

hope it helped !!

I have a a sight with 3 pins and i aim using a peep sight. I am new to archery and would love to be an efficient hunter using my bow. When i aim with the peep sight, i am supposed to have the three pins in the center of the circle and have all the pins on my target? or just the pin i plan on using depending on my distance from the target?

@LTsurvivalskills Thanks i appreciate it.

great video ike as always and to the comment below if you move ur pins down you will aim more upwards causing the arrow strike to move up

[huntingobsession1]

I have three pins on my sites what should i set those pins at? i also shoot low and to the right why move pins lower if u shooting low?

Good stuff there , I always play more at 10 and get it a tad high at 12 o'clock and then go to 20 . Liked the "follow the arrow" explanation over how I tried to explain it to folks . If ya don't mind I think I'll be using that phrase too in the future .
