Hey ,

What is the best way to figure out the ranges on a 3 pin sight?

Its red green yellow..........should I just get a single pin or stick with a 3 pin sight? thanks for the help.......



by the way its a pse 60/70 lb bow............

Get the sight mounted and center the adjustments. Put the middle pin in the middle of the window of the sight and lightly tighten it. Adjust the pins to have 1/4" seperation without moving the middle pin. Start shooting the bow at about 7 yards using the middle pin to aim. Aim for the MIDDLE of the bales/target. Adjust the WHOLE sight until it hits right close to your aim point in ELEVATION only. Don't worry about windage unless it is WAY off. Move back to about 15yards. Mark the sight window with a lead pencil mark where the middle pin is, and transpose that mark to the sight bracket. Move the sight window down until the top pin is even with the mark you made on the bracket. Shoot a couple arrows. They should be real close again in elevation only. If not adjust using the whole window and shoot a couple more, get it close. Now shoot a couple more looking at windage only. Adjust the top pin in and out to get the windage pretty close. MATCH the other two pins to the top pin, counting threads is an easy way. Move back to 25 yards and shoot one with the next pin down, that will be the middle pin. Adjust as necessary moving ONLY the middle pin. When it is on measure (eyeball) the distance between the bottom and middle pins, make the top pin that same distance from the middle pin. Step back to 35 yards and fly one, it should be really close. Adjust a little if needed moving only the bottom pin.

Now your sight is CLOSE, and any tuning needs should be addressed. When arrows are flying perfectly finish tuning the sight by shooting a couple of arrows at each distance first for elevation only. Put a big piece of tape across a target and worry about elevation ONLY, adjust each pin individually. Then do the same for windage. The sight is now set up.

IF your tuning is done well you should be able to shoot broadheads of the same weight as your practice tips without moving the pins, if anything it will be just a tad flatter shooting with broadheads when tuned correctly. If broadheads are more than just a little off the tuning is not finished and needs to be addressed.

That ^^^^^^ is what I would do. Hope it helps. I prefer a single pin, but my bow is VERY fast and VERY flat. I still only have about a 10 yard window where the sight is set right for the range, if it is set for 20 yards and my shot is 35 yards I have to move the pin (pendulum sight) for example. It adds steps and complexity (chances to screw it up too) but the single pin is what I prefer.

PSE 60/70 should do fine with two pins. I'd get one shootin at 30 and less, and the other for 30-50yd.

I would humbly reccomend not shooting at deer past 30 yards.:)
