Step 6: Get Back to the Third Pin The 40 Yards (36.6m)

While looking at the 40 yard pin, which is the third pin in the sight, release arrows at
your target. This time, as you perform adjustments, what you should move is the
pin itself and not the entire sight box. You wont have to move right and left again
with the sight box. What you should do instead is to concentrate on ensuring that
your 40 yard arrow travels precisely to the direction that the pin is pointing.

The distance from the 30 yard pin to the 40 yard pin should be more compared to
the distance from the 20 yard pin to the 30 yard pin.

fire arrows at the 20 yards all over again. At this point, the adjustment you will make
wont be on the entire sight but to the pin itself.

Remember we said that this guide on how to sight in a compound bow applies to
using 3 pin sights, 4 pin sights and any other fixed pin sight. So, at this stage, if you
have additional pin, the 4th pin for instance, this will be for your 50 yards 45.7m;
go through the previous steps to sight in your fourth pin after moving back from
your target. Make your adjustments by moving the pin.

If you follow these steps correctly, you can sight in your compound successfully.
