Sighting and Aiming

When adjusting the sight the first requirement is that your arrows are grouping. If they are then always aim for the center. Once you have established a group move the sight in the direction of the group. “Chase the arrows”

Once your sight is pointing to where the arrows are flying you can achieve proper aim and hit the bulls eye more efficiently.

Anchor point The anchor point must remain consistent in order to achieve accurate aiming!

The more left of the string your eye is the farther left the arrows will fly in relationship to the sight pin The more right of the string your eye is the farther right the arrows will fly in relationship to the sight pin Correct site picture with the string registered to the bow and in alignment with the shooters eye

Aiming When aiming start slightly above your target and slowly lower the pin onto the bullseye. Rotating the pin within the bull often helps to steady the aim. Your pin will remain in motion but the smaller and slower the rotation the better.

When bare bow shooting one technique for aiming is to pick a spot and use it to place the point of the arrow on it.

Sighting with a pin notice the circular motion and that the string, bow, arrow all stay aligned during the motion.

When using a peep sight note the peep and the sight ring stay aligned during the aiming process

Sighting and Aiming Summery Bare bow shooters use the tip of the arrow as reference Pin shooters when adjusting your sight chase the arrows Right or left impacts can be caused by improper alignment While aiming concentrate on keeping the pin within the bulls eye or the arrow tip on the reference point using slow circular motions. Keep peep sight or string in alignment while aiming
