    I had the string and cable replaced a while back and have over 100 shots on the new stuff. Now I want to redo the sight pins over completely even though I have where it shoots close. Earlier this summer I read in a bow hunting magazine a procedure to set the pins beginning with the middle pin and the whole sight and working thru the individual pins, going back and forth. Unfortunately, I gave the magazine to the library "trading" table before cutting the article out for reference. Does anyone know of the article, or the procedure? Thanks!

    My first pin is at 25 yards, my second at 40.. 50.. 60.
    I wanted my first pin centered in my ring. So I centered the pin and moved the ring vertically until it was on. Then I moved on to the 40, 50, and 60...

    It's pretty much what you want. Like hoosier said above, his preference for his middle pin to be centered.

    I dont set my first pin in the middle. Reason being, I want the enough room to get a pin out to 70 and have room to not hit the arrow fletching.
