Things You'll Need:
- Compound bow
- Pin sight
- Three arrows with field points (not broadheads)
- Bow target with bull's-eye
-
Step 1
Set up a bow target about 10 to 15 yards away from where you'll be standing to shoot. If the sight on the bow has more than one sighting pin, decide which pin you're going to use.
-
Step 2
Pull back the bow string and take aim by placing the tip of the pin over the target's bull's-eye. Shoot the arrows, one at a time, at the target's bull's-eye using the same sighting pin each time.
-
Step 3
Retrieve the arrows from the target, taking note of where they landed in relation to the bull's-eye.
-
Step 4
Loosen the pin you used and move it an eighth of an inch up or down, depending on where the arrows penetrated the target. If the arrows hit above the bull's-eye, move the pin down; if they landed below the bull's-eye, move the pin up. Do not move the pin left or right as this will affect the horizontal positioning of the sight.
-
Step 5
Shoot the arrows at the target's bull's-eye again, using the new position of the pin to take aim each time. Stand the same distance from the target as you did when shooting the first round.
-
Step 6
Repeat steps 3 through 5 until the arrows are consistently hitting the target's bull's-eye. To shoot a longer distance, the pin should be moved down accordingly.
