The Best Way to Sight in Your Bow

- Are you confident in your shot? Really, truly confident? If you’re questioning yourself even a little bit, here’s a faster, easier, and more accurate way to sight in your bow.
Rather than trying to hover over the top of an “X” on an archery target, use a vertical and horizontal line to hone in your bow sight quickly and effectively. By aiming at lines rather than a bull’s-eye you focus on one axis at a time and by the time you’re done, you’ll be able to drive tacks with your bow and arrow.

Another good idea is to place your tape perfectly vertical and horizontal with a level. Then by using the level on your sight, you should hold perfectly inline and keep everything straight. If the tape is not level and perfectly square to each other, you can be mislead into thinking you are inline when you are not. It just leaves less margin for error, especially when shooting at longer distances.
How’d you make that target
Don’t forget to plum and level your tapes especially with a moveable target I just did this using a 2 ft level to get much closer
Don’t punch the trigger 🤦
This is One of the Best explanations to Sight In a Bow I have seen.Great Job!!!!
Totally agree this guy is a perfectionist 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻.
Agree. Nice job
I’ve been bow hunting fifty years , and this video is great , just exactly what the new guys need to see
Thank you. I always called it chasing the arrow
This worked great for me and I’ve been sighting in bows since I was a kid. Thank you for the system and the straight forward explanation!
Thanks dude. I've been struggling to get my bow right. Nice job.
I like this method because you don't risk damaging your arrows shooting tight groups. Why didn't I think of that👍
if you cant shoot a bow straight.. its your problem... hooking a sight and quick release will help.. but it WILL kill your natural skill.
Harley Me maybe that’s true. But when hunting you can’t take any chances. You have to be so dialed in there is no doubt that you will ethically harvest the animal with a hit to the vitals. Wounding an animal and having it disappear and suffer a long and drawn out death is worst case scenario
This is the best way to demonstrate sighting in.
Don’t sight in your bow in with Broad heads... field tips if the same grain should shoot the same if your bow is tuned right... just shoot to make that are hitting the same
@@christopherbrewer4421 exactly, different shapes completely so different forces inflicted upon the arrow.
this should have millions of views...your the man thank you!
We are working on it!! Share away haha
Thank you! Brand new to using a compound bow and this will help me sight it in... only thing I wish you had done was actually show HOW to move the sights to change distance. You showed the lateral movement for left/right, but you didn't show how you adjust them for the distance.
Thanks for the good info. It really helped me sight in the new bow. I'm not so much new to the sport but this is so far the best way to sight in a bow I've seen
So for example, if I’m shooting at a target from 20 yards and I shoot a 3 times at a target and the arrows are hitting to the right and low, then I would move my sight out to the right and down? Correct?
Tell me of the Undercontruction of the Backboard your shooting into. What is that made of? I do like.
This seems like a real easy way will give it a go, thank you.
Nice job! Thanks for the info.
can you make a target video?? don't feel like dropping $200 on a little target...
We will consider it since there seems to be a lot of interest. Thanks.
Can we get a tutorial on how you made that big target or back stop or whatever that is?
How did you make the backstop/target? That thing is awesome!
Nice idea thanks for posting, Will use this way a it makes more sense than trying to zero in on the X
Great thanks… nice, clear and informative.
Thanks!
That will make the process so much easier for me. I’m on my third hunting season at age 43 so this is all very new to me. Thanks so much! I’ll give it a try.
Stacy Hathcock I just got my first bow just a few hours ago. I realize I won’t be ready for my first hunt for a while but I’m so stoked to finally be doing it. I’m 36 and also got my 10 year old son his first bow also. We are both very excited to be jumping into this world.
I just got my first bow (an ancient Bear Super 45) a few days ago, and I'm 47. I plan to be ready for business for the fall turkey season.
You're not alone. I'm 49 and just hunted for my first time last year (rifle). Going to try archery this year so this is new to me too.
thanks Man Just Got a Trophy joker.
an Has No Idea How 2 sight her in
Great video. I'm a beginner... went to adjust mine the other day and let it slide right out the bottom lol. This was the perfect instructionto help sight in own.... again, 👏
Old video, however, one that illustrates the best way for me to comprehend. Thanks
Outstanding job LW! Keep them Flyin.
Super clear and easy to follow vid man, appreciate it very much!
Cool,..thanks bro,....simple & to the point.
Thank you! Staight and to the point! Now I even know why I ran out of adjustment room with my sights.
You're welcome! You wouldn't believe it, but I've even had a few bow-pro's not know why and simply tell me - "I guess that's just how your bow is..." Only to later figure out the real issue. This is especially common with archers who are new to single pin sights with the slider.
running out of room with your pins on your sight bracket has alot to do with where you anchor on your face too..the lower on your face your anchor point is the lower your site pins will be positioned thats why outdoor fita shooters at 90 meters all have to anchor with there fingers very low on there face,,if they anchored with index finger in corner of your mouth they wouldnt have room for the pins unless the bracket was like much longer..today with everyone shooting releases and peeps its not that much of issue as when guys shoot with fingers..
Thanks for the video.. Your sight in technique really improved my accuracy.. Very clear, and informative instructions.
best vid I have seen on how to properly sight a bow, excellent vid and clearly presented and explained, well done, keep em coming!
I shoulda watched this video first lol
Awesome instruction, My son is the one that got me into the sport and I couldn't wrap my head around follow the arrow but it looks like it works. Thanks for putting this out there. Cant wait to get to the range tomorrow to sight in my new Mathews.
Thank you for such a comprehensive and easy to follow guide. I have been killing myself trying to sight in my recurve and I think this will make it much easier.
Glad we could help! Let us know how it works with the traditional gear.
Thanks man! This really helped!!!!!!!!!
Almost spot on, in the 1st step before jumping to your horizontal line, check your vertical another10y back using the same pin looking for creepage (showing string to rest misalignment) if it doesn't change your good to go to the next phase. Always verify you knock/release loop height, I like to keep my knock square on my string thru my full capture rest when stored so I know when I take it out every time I'm good. Good luck everyone shootem straight and tight!
By far one of the best videos for a new bow user, thanks!!!!
Very informative video thank you. I just got my very first bow and will be sighting it in tomorrow morning and I can’t wait to start.
Thank you so much for this vid
How do you aim, after you've set the 20yrd pin of your target is within the 20yrd mark? Let's say 15 or 12? Used the 20yrd pin bellow the targert? Thanks great vid.
Pro video and instruction, Thanks
Awesome man. I’ll definitely try this.
I was hitting left so I adjusted left little by little and it still kept shooting left and i got to a point where I couldnt even see my fuckn sight I just staring at my cables through my peep.
How about doing a video with field points and broadheads when adjusting the arrow rest, if needed?
Kevin Wright you always want to start with a paper tune, it helps to eliminate major movements of the rest. Once you get that perfect bullet hole, go out and shoot a field point Arrow followed by a broad head arrow. If there is a difference, such as your broad head arrow hits left of the mark but the field point arrow hits dead on, then make a slight adjustment of the rest to the right. If the broad head hits high, move the arrrow rest down slightly.
What's happening is, your broad head is steering the arrow before the vanes can.
Remember, it's micro adjustments. Start at your closest pin, the check your farther pins.
Hope this helps.
I shoot off my "knuckle." Always have, always will. 65 years off my knuckle with both English Long Bow and Asian Horse Bows.
Great instruction have been doing this for quite a few years now only thing that seemed odd to me that I thought you would have a problem with was how you grip the bow looked a little tight to me I only hold my bow with my index finger and thumb in the groove and it helped a lot from before I was using my hole hand
Thanks, I wrap my hand around the grip, but there's little to no pressure applied.
Legendary Whitetails it would be nice too shoot with you sometime man you seem like a good knowledgeable person
FYI. Make darn sure your vertical and horizontal lines are very straight using this method. Use a T square.
Try using old bow string aim small miss small. I've been using this method for years. Great job.
I had no lessons and now can hit a target from a little under 50m away with a $260 bow from eBay ( So many lost arrows)
I did get a release aid and a drop down but beyond that stock as a rock.
Love this sport.
Genuine thanks for making this video. Brand new archer here and I've had a horrible time sighting in this new bear bow I have. After watching this video, took me about a half hour/45 mins and it's sighted in at 20 yards, finally! Thanks again for this!
Glad we could help jchast1980! Welcome to the wonderful sport of archery. Let us know if we can help with anything else.
What I didn't fully comprehend is the method on the first rounds. Are you maintaining the same point of aim, but shooting each pin, thus getting the vertical alignment?
Picked up a bow on Amazon.
It was sighted in pretty well for out-of-the-box use.
I set it down with the limb clamps so that it stood next to me while I went to retrieve arrows.
I turn around just after pulling the last arrow and groaned as I watch my bow tip to the left and smack clean into the wall, it flipped over and landed right on the sight.
The very next shot sent it ricocheting off the ground about 5feet in front of the target. Haven't been able to reset the sight since.
Just excellent video and advice. Many thanks!!
Bro thank you for doing this video on TH-cam. It’s really nice and helpful. Thanks again
Awesome stuff man. I’ve been shooting at the + made out of tape and end up chasing my arrows unnecessarily
So if I'm high on my target, I still have to go up on my sight
Chase the arrow with you pin... so if it's high and your pin is center pull sight up to where arrow hits the it'll be on
If you're hittin high. Put your pin high. It forces you to look lower through the peep...if your low put your pin low...it makes you look higher 🤷♀️😎
well done! works for me. just got a new sight. thanx
So when you go from field points to broadheads do you adjust the REAR sight to fine tune that?🤷♂️
OMG! This was the most helpful video I ever watched! Thanks
does it work for guns too?
great info this bow I'm getting will be my first so now i know how to sight it. thanks very much.
Welcome to the sport and glad we could help!
Legendary Whitetails
thanks man geez i went to grab my bow yesterday from the shop i ordered it from as i was waiting for them to put my bow together and adjust the draw weight and length this one guy walks in me and him started talking he busted out his prime and i got sick to my stomach lol his bow was dam nice now i wish i bought a prime instead but since this is my first bow ill settle with my pse stinger x for now since its my first bow. the shop owner said at my settings with the stinger x i'll kill anything on this island but later im definitely getting a prime that guy with the prime bow said its a day and night difference and so is the price lol $1,600 is a pretty penny so tax time im getting one in the mean time i'll practice with my cheap bow.
Awesome tutorial...just bought a bow and you made it so simplified to sight in...
Cheers, Kev.
Good Video. Good job explaining. But, can you tell me how you made that target? Its great.
Thank you and you're right there's hardly anything out there that simple that correct that brings the best results great job sir appreciate that God bless you and America
Will this method work for a single pin slider liner the black gold Ascent?
It should work for any type of sight. Even a rifle scope as long as you follow your shot with your sight. AKA shooting left, pin needs to move left. I just sighted in my new HHA this way and it worked perfect.
Just got a new bow for me and my step son ... this video will come in handy ... thank you
Great video bro! Thank you so much. I really needed this education so I appreciate you! Can’t wait to try it in the morning.
I have arrows hitting way to the right of the aiming point. I adjusted the sight by moving it to the right. Now I am much closer to the vertical tape but still hitting a bit to the right. Problem is, I can't move the sight to the right any more because it is already behind the riser and only the heads of the pins are visible. If I move it just a little bit more to the right, the pin heads will be completely behind the riser and invisible to me. What am I doing wrong?
Came for the bow of violin, not this. 😂
So what's the best way to sight in your violin bow? LOL
Excellent presentation thank you! Very helpfull.
You have no idea how helpful this video was. Honest to god game-changer
Thanks I always seems to have a problem with that
thanks tony mann, hope it helps you zing bull's-eyes!
Me to i been having problem
Plplplllplllllppllpplllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllplllllll
Do you mean by follow your pin are you talking about adjusting the individual pin
Great video
Mentioning that the bow should be paper tuned would be nice. Otherwise, you will need to resight the whole bow all over again if you need to adjust your arrow rest
Very comprehensive! You answered all the basic questions clearly and concisely that a novice needs to have the answers to get set up and begin to improve. Thank you!
ik im a couple of years late but why would you do horizontal at 5 yards then do the vertical at like 20?
Okay so if u move the sight housing and get it perfect for the top 20 yard pin and then have to move it again to sight in the 30 and 40 yard pin doesnt that ruin the previous pin u just sighted in bc u are again moving the sights?
I normally sight my bow in using bright dots, but I will try this method the next time I get to shoot my bow.
Works for me. I have sighted in this way for a long time. I haven't found a better way yet. Great video! I subscribed today. Thanks
Thanks for the subscribe Tom! Happy shooting!
I had a question im not for sure if you will she this but when I shoot my bow and I use the dloop trigger I always hit high on my target but when I don't use it I hit in the center of my target do you know why
awesome idea with the tape thanks I'm going to put that to good use. Great video 🤘
Can’t see the tape , it’s camouflaged 😂😂
Dumb question: is he using the top pin when siting the vertical line? Or it doesn't matter?
So when your at close ranger doing the initial vertical sight in, are you moving the whole sight housing?
What is that large backstop/ target you're shooting into and where do you get them?
I can get that done in way less time using a simple bullseye target. This method takes way too long.
Awesome video. Definitely going to Try this during the weekend
Wow great informational video. Thank you
Fantastic explanation !!
Thank you
🏹🎯
Your brain needs to take a picture where you pin is when the sh!t goes off.Oay attention.Touneed to sight in with I. 6 arrows to be on par with the pros.Tou can do it.go fing shoot.Got money and want to play get ahold of me😉
Fvckbsoell check
A.J., thanks for a great video! I ha e a new bow which has been the Devil to sight in...until today 30 minutes after I saw your post. I now need to buy some fletching tools! What else do you have?
Thanks Mark, glad the video helped you get dialed in. What else would you like to see?
@@LegendaryWhitetails I know this is 6 months old but an easy explanation on broadhead tuning. Great video
This is an awesome video it worked great I have been having a hard time getting it sighted in but I'm there. Thank you
Thanks I just heard about this method this week and am glad to see a video of it. I'll be trying it out soon
What’s your bow poundage at when you’re sighting in?
Excellent Tutorial
Thank you very much
Excellent video - thanks man.
Well done sir. Lots of info and not a waste of my time.
