    It should be pretty simple, hopefully you've got a target and enough area to shoot from 30 yards or so. As long as you don't mess with the 10 yard pin.
    All you'll have to do is move out to 20 yards and take a shot. Move the second pin the same direction the arrow hits where your aiming. If it hits high of your mark move the pin up. Do that a little at a time until you hit where to pin is aimed at. Do the same for the next pin which should prob be 30 yards.

    Good luck. You certainly won't hurt anything. You may even meet someone who could help you.

    A bit too far for me to help. Surely you can find someone to help. Just have fun.

    Can the person working the indoor range help?

    My local shop has an indoor range and the employees there are knowledgeable and willing to help. Just have to ask.
