How to Adjust Three-Pin Bow Sights

Video Transcript

"Hi. This is Bill Coulter at Fort Lauderdale Archers in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. In this clip I'm going to show you how to adjust a three pin bow site. Generally you have a pin site ranges within one pin, three pins or five pins depending on what you're going to be shooting. Most common is three pin because a lot of hunters get confused with pins they are supposed to use. Pins come sited in pretty much with a 10, 30 and a 40 yard pin. That keeps it very simple. Now when siting in you have your major adjustments which are for the major left and right adjustments for siting in. Once again you do want to follow your arrow. Okay? Now you have your adjustments for your left and and right. Like I said they aren't going to be too major unless the bow is really not square and set up right. Okay, once you get that down pat you want to tighten that up pretty snug to make sure it's not going to move. As you can see, this site has a wrapped fiber optic system on it that gathers a tremendous amount of light. Most of your newer sites now a days have that being that in low light conditions in the woods they are very hard to see. It improves accuracy tremendously and they are still very easy to use. When moving pins though, as you can see, alright you loosen up very carefully, and, as you can see right in here is where the fiber optic is coming out and wrapping around that little tube. You want to be careful when moving the site, or the pin rather, up and down, because as you can see, there it's stretching the fiber optic. Unless a radical movement happens they will not tend to break. But once you get that set up you just tighten it down, go F1 shooting. This has been Billy Coulter and thank you for watching."
