    I just bought a new tru glo carbon xs sight, and mounted it. The trouble is I can't sight in my ten yard pin because the top pin only goes so high. I have it fully maxed out towards the top as the whole sight picture and the pin slid all the way to the top. The way it is my top pin still shoots high at 30 yards. What else can I try? I'm only shooting like 53 pounds and I really don't wanna mess with my sight because it looks to be already perfectly square and low relative to the shelf.

    Any help would be really appreciated. Thanks

    Can you post a pic? I think I understand what you are saying it is doing but I would like to see a pic if possible.

    Can you move up the entire sight instead of just the pin?

    I'd start by skipping the 10 yard pin and set it to 20. I personally see no need in a 10 yard pin.

    I would agree with that, I used to shoot 60# and only noticed an inch or so drop between 10 and 20 yards, I would think your pins would be so close together with with a 10 and 20 that it would almost be distracting.
