When to Adjust Sight Pin vs. LR Updown on a Compound Bow at 20 Yards

Adjusting Sight Pin:

  • Vertical adjustments: Make sight pin adjustments to fine-tune distance within a specific range (e.g., at 20 yards).
  • Horizontal adjustments: Use the sight pin for minor left-right corrections within a short distance (e.g., <5 yards).

Adjusting LR Updown:

  • Vertical adjustments: Not recommended for distance adjustments within a specific range (may cause arrow drop).
  • Horizontal adjustments: Make LR updown adjustments for left-right corrections over a greater distance (e.g., >10 yards).

Specifics for 20 Yards with 30lb Bow:

  • Sight Pin Adjustments: Small vertical adjustments may be necessary to fine-tune the distance.
  • LR Updown Adjustments: Avoid using LR updown adjustments at this distance.

Additional Tips:

  • Start with a lower draw weight (e.g., 30lb) to improve accuracy.
  • Use a consistent anchor point to ensure consistent arrow flight.
  • Take multiple practice shots before making adjustments.
  • If adjustments are significant, recheck all other bow settings (e.g., arrow rest, nock set).
