Saw a great sighting in tip today
« on: November 22, 2014, 05:19:12 PM »
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's how I get my elevation numbers for my sight tapes. Shoot at a horizontal piece of electrical tape.
