    Just curious if I needed to let a dealer fo this or something I can do. Im new to bows and I have a mathews mission with a one pin sight anf id like to change that to maybe a 5 pin sight. By doing this what is required to dial in the sight or adjust the yardage or better yet guess the quesyion is how to install a new sight lol. Thanks

    that is something you are capable of, just remove the sight by taking out the two screws and mount the other sight the same way.

    when you get the new sight mounted you can get a rough guess on windage by nocking an arrow and looking at the back of the bow line your string up with the arrow then adjust your sight left or right to match with your string. thats just a rough guess, you will have to shoot it to get it exact. after doing that go to your target and shoot. if you miss high raise your pin, miss low lower your pin, miss right then move sight to the right and if you miss left move your sight to the left. shoot until you hit what your aiming at.

    What he said! I can't tell you how frustrated I get trying to sight in my first bow because I kept going the wrong direction.

    What do you consider a decent budget??? That could be $40 for one guy or $140 for the next.
