Setting my pins

[erikwells]

I have never done this myself. I have been shooting and have found my pin I have set for 10 yards is really close at 20 yards as well. Is that pretty common or am I doing something wrong? I'm shooting pretty well at 20 so I can't be a total dummy. Any thoughts or advice for me that you more experienced archers are willing to share would be appreciated. Thanks, Erik

With todays fast, flat shooting bows. I think it is pretty common for a single pin to be pretty much on from 10-30 yards, especially if properly tuned. My first pin is set for 20 yards and I go out from there. I don't think you are doing anything wrong. Sounds to me like you are shooting well and doing everything right!

yea i would stay it depends on your bow but even my wifes bow set at 50 pounds from 0-20 there is very little change at all. So if you start at 20 you should be fine.

I just got the new Bear Legion this year set to 55 right now. Shot bow over 20 years ago so not too much that I can compare bow brands or models but I like it so far. It has taken some adjustment but I sure like shooting a release now (20 years ago you couldn't use a release in the field). Not sure I'll have the need or skill to go out past 30 yards. Scouted my deer land on Saturday and found a lot of sign and spotted 2 nice does. The mosquitos were crazy, thank god for thermacells. Thanks for the info.

Exactly what was said above it what they told me last year. Had the same question. I shoot a 3 pin site and have the pins set at 20,30 and 40 yards. Anything under 20yds, I just hold the 20 pin on it and it hits where you want it to.
