I was watching a hunting show this morning and the tech tip was about sighting in a bow. I have always just shot at a three inch bulls eye and adjusted my sights to get my groups closer to the center. The guy giving the tip draws a horizontal line and a vertical line on a paper that don't even intersect. The horizontal line was above the top of the vertical line by a couple of inches. The archer shot at the horizontal line and adjusted all pins for the horizontal fine line, then the same thing on the vertical line. Adjusting each independently . To the fine line.
It was so obvious watching him discuss the process as to how much more accurate this would be then the way I have been doing it. With this method you can do each much more precisely then a three inch circle. Anyone have anything to add ? Going to get my bow out tomorrow for some shooting & give it a try, late season is approaching.

So simple makes me laugh that I have not thought about sighting in like that.

It was so simple and yet so effective. 1/4 inch black line drawn in both planes with a level and then the shooter walked his shots down with adjustments to each line vertical & horizontal. Way better then my circle of " close enough ". Happy Thanksgiving to all and good luck late season.

That is how I way taught to do it. Great tip👍

That's how I get my elevation numbers for my sight tapes. Shoot at a horizontal piece of electrical tape.
