    So I just got my first bow it's the bear legion rth package and I've been trying to sight it in and I have had some luck by moving my whole an it's hitting dead on at 10 yards which is nothing special but when I back up to 20 an 30 I'm kinda hitting all over the place I'm not getting a good group I was gonna try to move my pins but I can only adjust them up or down any tips or anything I could do differently? It'd be much appreciated

    Ok first thing first. what are the specs on your equipment you are using such as arrows, poundage, fingers or release, field tip weight, etc. next thing would be to post us a few pictures of you at full draw from the side and from behind at least with an arrow nocked. Once we can make sure your equipment is good to go then next thing is from. your form will dictate nearly everything about your shooting. the pictures will let us see if you've got a good start with that or need to make some changes. once we get all this established we will start some very simple tuning tips.

    Try paper tuning it.

    Your arrow rest could be off a bit.

    These guys make some great points, because regardless of your equipment if your form is off, or your equipment mismatched it will definitely throw your accuracy off. Mostl likely the equipment is more accurate than you, (or me for that matter). You may want to paper tune your rest, also the Legion does not have a real solid back wall, so make sure you are at the same anchor point every time. Good luck, and welcome to the sport.
