    I got a TruGlo Xs carbon 4 pin sight, I know it's not top of the line gear but I'm having a hard time setting my 2nd 3rd and 4th pin.I have set the first pin at 15 yards and want the others at 25,35 and 50, but the second pin needs to come up and there is no more room to raise it...am I missing something here?
    thanks for your time guys

    Sounds like the arrow could be nocked in the wrong place, the bow is dialed way down or you have some other problem.

    Take a pic of the arrow nocked on the bow, post it and somebody will probably spot the problem.

    Move your top pin down and entire sight housing up that should give you room to move your second pin up more.

    To be sure I understand, are you saying the second pin is hitting the first pin and that is why you can't raise it more?

    If so you may need to make your first pin farther than 15 as already mentioned.

    thanks wl704 I'll do that as soon as I get back to the bow tonight
    billy pulsifier I've done that and it does no make a difference, I think my distances are too close to eachother
    coop I believe you're right, I might have to zero further
    thanks for the info guys I'm gonna try what coop said and I'll post pictures of the settings for more help.

    Like others have said you need to move your top pin. I can shoot to about 25 yards with my first pin so there should be no need to have a 15 yard and 25 yard pin.
