    im gettin new arrows. I am wanting to change my sights since i got the weight and length up. It shoots faster now. What should they be. Maximum yardage being 30. im not sure if im confortable with a 30 yard shot or not. I was thinking 15,20, 30 or something. What do yall think?

    shoot that for awhile. If you have three pins, get your top pin sighted in at 10, 20 for next, and third for 30, this doesn't mean you have to take a 30 yard shot at a deer if you don't feel comfortable doing it, but you can practice untill that point.

    Is there really much difference between 10 and 20 yard shots? I would not think the arrow would be dropping enough to justify another pin. They actual pins will likely be so very close together in that instance it might not do any good.

    Maybe try 15/25/30 or 20/25/30. Good luck.

    no there shouldn't be much difference, there isn't in mine, but thats what you have to find out for yourself with your sight!

    yea, ive been trying to find a difference, I think mine is about the same. Ive got to get a arrow back stop thing in my backyard, so I dont loose any arrows in case I miss for some reason while sighting it in again. Any ideas for back stops?

    Just start shooting close say at 5 yards and slowly move back.
