    I believe for sights like that you need to make your own sight tape. On Target 2 has a sight tape function. It takes all the variables such as DW, DL, arrow weight, etc and makes an accurate sight tape that can be mounted on your sight. If you don't have something like that I would just put a blank tape/paper over the current one and sight in the yardages manually.

    You need to use tape number 55. Dont use the number you came up with. Look at the chart that came with the sight. If you came up with 25 then it says to use tape number 55. Trust me it will for for you if done right.

    I believe Bow Freak is correct.

    I have an HHA sight and it has worked out great for me.

    Let us know how it works out for you.

    Bowfreak is right. i always sighted in at 20 and 40 yards then matched it with the corelating number from the sight tape selection.

    This is the chart I was going off of. My next question is, did you use the 20-40 yrd method or the 20-60 yrd method. The chart is set up for the 20-40 yrd method. This is what I used. If you were using the 20-60 yrd method, you did it the right way, you dont need the chart.

    Just want to clarify what you are shooting.

    Are shooting the Dial Sight?

    Or the sight that has the slider arc on the rear?

    I sell all the HHA sights but I am much more familar with the Dial sight since that is what I use, and push.

    Whether I am sighting in my own bow or helping someone sight theirs in I always get numbers from the sight in tape at 20, 40, & 60.

    I then cross check the tape that is suggested by using both methods. The 20 to 60 yard method and the 20 to 40 yard method.

    The sight has always worked like a Dream. I Love it!!

    Only Downside is price but I just keep moving mine from one bow to the other :)

    Be patient! I've never seen one that didn't work and I know I've put them on bows shooting from 230fps to well over 300fps.

    Where in IL are you? I'm in IL :)

    I know it's a Big State ;)

    I am in SW IL. Actually about 45 miles southeast of Mt. Vernon. If you want to try and get together someday PM me and we'll try to plan something. :)

    I'd be glad to try and help as I have setup several of these sights
