DIY: How to Adjust a Bow Sight
The Principle
Before you start adjusting your bow sight, you have to know the basics. After determining the sight-in length, for a multi-pin sight, begin with the closest distance. If three of your arrows hit the same spot where you didn’t aim is called a “group”. If your arrows have grouped left to the target, the sight pin should be moved to left. And if the arrows group high, the sight should be raised.
Adjusting a Multi-Pin Bow Sight
Multi-pin bow sights have four adjustments- up, down, right, and left. Also, the sight pins can be moved up or down. For the closest distance, use the top pin and the bottom pin for the farthest distance.
Firstly, shoot three arrows to check where they hit. If they didn’t hit the desired target, loosen the screw and adjust the sight housing left or right toward the group. Than shoot three more arrows to check the accuracy again and adjust the housing if needed. The pins can also be moved up or down until your arrows hit the desired spot. Keep your top pin to the upper third of the housing so that you can move the sight when there is no room left to move the pin.
Adjusting a Single-Pin Sight
Single-pin sights have two adjustments- left and right. It’s easy to adjust e3ither up or down toward the groups until hitting the aim. If you need to adjust left or right after exceeding windage range, loosen the screw to move the pin left or right.
