The Best Way to Sight in Your Bow

[@allthatis8327]

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.

I’ve been bow hunting fifty years , and this video is great , just exactly what the new guys need to see

[@barryistuk7730]

Just getting back into my bow and sighting it in, out of all the videos on KZbin this is by far the best. Thank you.

[@oswaldcopperpott4004]

[@Kimchi_Mike]

You have no idea how helpful this video was. Honest to god game-changer

[@RogueOverland]

Nice job! Thanks for the info.

[@danphillips6167]

Thank you. I always called it chasing the arrow

[@datstuff6745]

Thank you so much for this vid

[@davidroettger6605]

Great and simple explanation on sighting in. One vertical line and one horizontal line.

[@jchast1980]

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!

[@LegendaryWhitetails]

Glad we could help jchast1980! Welcome to the wonderful sport of archery. Let us know if we can help with anything else.

[@laragecanecorsos]

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.

[@jeffw6692]

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.

[@ChildovGhad]

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.

[@CodeDoctorJet]

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.

[@callmeiishmel]

Thanks man! This really helped!!!!!!!!!

[@ryanhennigar6509]

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.

[@LegendaryWhitetails]

Glad we could help! Let us know how it works with the traditional gear.

[@rdnewland]

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!

[@philmortlock259]

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.

[@ahfarms5953]

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

[@josephh151]

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.

[@jimmydet115]

Thanks dude. I've been struggling to get my bow right. Nice job.

[@petertidey2677]

Finely an easy to get my head around tutorial..been trying for a week to figure out how to aim in my new bow..thanks this is awesome and I am now getting a good results.

[@jeffw6692]

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.

[@kevinoliphant889]

Awesome tutorial...just bought a bow and you made it so simplified to sight in... Cheers, Kev.

[@mr.pavone9719]

I just got a new bow for Christmas and this video has really made sighting a lot simpler than I thought I would be. No more instinct shooting for me!

[@MrHeinz09]

This seems like a real easy way will give it a go, thank you.

[@harveyrousejr.2069]

Old video, however, one that illustrates the best way for me to comprehend. Thanks

[@Master_djchops-sse]

You answered so many questions quick and without wordy over explanation. Thank you.

[@VinasVoiceOvers]

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, 👏

[@ronniebennett669]

Thanks for the video.. Your sight in technique really improved my accuracy.. Very clear, and informative instructions.

[@tompanetti75]

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

[@LegendaryWhitetails]

Thanks for the subscribe Tom! Happy shooting!

[@psychoticguns]

Truly the best and most patient video explaining how to sight in my bow thank you. I'm new to archery and just picked up the axcel vision pro with dovetail trying to figure it out. Thanks again man.

[@LegendaryWhitetails]

No problemo! Glad we could help and welcome to the wonderful world of ARCHERY!!

[@mattsullivan4318]

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

[@SED8TED_C7]

This is how I start out every season, and after any tuning, equipment updates. Great method. Thanks for sharing

[@SKHYLARWYLIE]

I am brand new to all this. My boyfriend got me a compound bow for Christmas. Thank you for this detailed video on sighting! I will definitely check out your other videos!

[@LegendaryWhitetails]

Thanks for kind compliments Skhylar and best of luck on your new hobby!

[@stevec979]

I just got my first beginner bow this week. Great video for a noob like me to get started. Thanks

[@davidrobins4025]

This is an excellent method for sighting in you bow. Thanks for showing us how to do it. The video and sound are quality. Thanks

[@gregsweeney3044]

Just finished setting up my bow. And was wondering how to sight it in. Think this made it a lot easier for me. Thank you!

[@tonyswiatek9489]

Excellent method and explanation on correctly sighting in your bow.

[@iamticklebot]

Best sighting in video on KZbin. Thanks, man!

[@amydavis4945]

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.

[@firemedic10353]

best vid I have seen on how to properly sight a bow, excellent vid and clearly presented and explained, well done, keep em coming!

[@coreystoner4129]

I think this method is much better than breaking arrows. I got a new bow this year after my other one was stolen out of my truck but I will be using this method for sure.

[@ejlilley]

Well done sir. Lots of info and not a waste of my time.

[@royfazenbaker3139]

Thank you for a straightforward approach. I have been shooting for years but this is absolutely the most simple way to do this

[@jasper2114]

This is exactly what I needed haha ! Thank you! Every other video I watched was not nearly this straight forward

[@justinw3809]

Im glad you showed shooting with a closed hand.

[@Pipesmokanz]

Nice idea thanks for posting, Will use this way a it makes more sense than trying to zero in on the X

[@bayoubeast8225]

About time someone posted a great sighting in video. This is awesome.....thanks

[@so-dp1tc]

Thank you much! I am new to archery. All my shots were leaning to the left/ bottom. Followed your method, and after 2.30 hrs of fine tuning, hit the center of a life saver!! (8 yards)Second shot split the first arrow!! So happy and Thank you sincerely!

[@rhinostujlub7735]

Bro thank you for doing this video on KZbin. It’s really nice and helpful. Thanks again

[@roymatthewson8176]

OMG! This was the most helpful video I ever watched! Thanks

[@jamiewichser2429]

Thanks a lot. Made sighting in a lot easier.

[@richhunter515]

Easily the most simple way to sight in. Great video!! Very helpful!

[@odinblue-eye782]

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

[@averageeverydayfishermansh4501]

Just watched this today. I have been bowhunting for over thirty years and have never done this. Quite honestly, once it's sighted in you don't need to do much but maybe fine tune it each year or when you get a new component (like your arrows) but this is golden. I wish I had known this many years ago. Makes perfect sense...now that I know about it. LOL! Thanks!

[@schymark9945]

well done! works for me. just got a new sight. thanx

[@royskidmore44]

Just got a new bow for me and my step son ... this video will come in handy ... thank you

[@rogerramjet7567]

Just excellent video and advice. Many thanks!!

[@0megaJB]

I've never seen this technique before but it makes so much sense.

[@CodeDoctorJet]

Great explanation. I'm a new archery shooter and this was super helpful.

[@kledog]

Good job, this method could be shared with beginners and even experienced stubborn guys like myself. Thanks for the post.

[@daveeklund6801]

Great video, clear precise explanation

[@victoriacampbell9431]

does it work for guns too?

[@igortodorovic6463]

Awesome video. Definitely going to Try this during the weekend

[@kd2quick]

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!

[@Chris000279]

Thanks for the video. Someone who actually knows their stuff. Happy arching brother.

[@rolyebe1066]

Makes it easier for everyone to understand cheers mate 👍👍👍👍🎯🎯🎯

[@shaqueequeechang6660]

Super helpful information. I’m a noob with using sights. I’ve always aimed down the arrow so I needed this

[@larrybrechtjr163]

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.

[@defdac]

Super clear and easy to follow vid man, appreciate it very much!

[@JoaquinParker]

Awesome! This was so clear, practical, and straight to the point. Thanks for taking the time to share this.

[@LegendaryWhitetails]

No problem, glad it was helpful!

[@kamakiri700]

thanks a lot for that, that's given me confidence to go try it and to also understand how everything is supposed to work. Really appreciated

[@FloridaWild]

Thank you! Staight and to the point! Now I even know why I ran out of adjustment room with my sights.

[@LegendaryWhitetails]

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.

[@termite122]

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..

[@jamielemaire9005]

Thanks for the tip I'm new to archery and this helped alot.

[@Hermit_of_the_Holler]

Fantastic explanation !! Thank you 🏹🎯

[@e.morales6070]

Outstanding, clear, easy, THANK YOU!

[@seanheadrick]

this is a great video. putting identifiers on arrows to help single out "bad actors" is an awesome idea.

[@danielfetchak1865]

Thanks for the great video. This will help alot of people save time and aggravation when sighting in.

[@jacobruppert6509]

best video I have seen for sighting in my bow. took me maybe 30 mins.

[@colekinnibrugh3710]

Jacob Ruppert because when you move your sight to the left you have to move your bow to the right to get the pin back on target.

[@jacobruppert6509]

Cole Kinnibrugh I know that. I have been shooting for 7 years now

[@LegendaryWhitetails]

Ha. I think Cole was replying to Travis' comment above.

[@nickday9552]

Great info! Such an easy and accurate way to sight in!! Thank you!

[@frankhunter5869]

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

[@brentroth1867]

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

[@whitecaps775]

Pro video and instruction, Thanks

[@sbkal08]

Thanks, man. Concise and very helpful. Just getting back into archery hunting after about a 6 year hiatus.

[@LegendaryWhitetails]

You bet! Welcome back to the wonderful world of archery!

[@jessie4667]

This was the best video I've seen yet also!! Hands down! Thanks so much man!! Awesome job 😃

[@LegendaryWhitetails]

Thanks Jessie, glad you found it helpful.

[@rogerkay8603]

Excellent video - thanks man.

[@mikebatz200]

awesome idea with the tape thanks I'm going to put that to good use. Great video 🤘

[@thegamingcolossus7004]

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?

[@christianandlar9238]

Really like this video. Waiting for my first bow now. Will definitely try this out!

[@danielhawkins6619]

Cool,..thanks bro,....simple & to the point.

[@1huntswithnature10]

Excellent Tutorial Thank you very much

[@ICU2B4UDO]

Dude! Thanks! In 48-72 hours, I'll be dead on and not frustrated going nuts trying to get sighted in and waiting for Bambi and Rudolph to show up!!

[@gff7322]

Just got to say this method is soooo good.

[@Viceroy_95]

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.

[@kingstoncowboy01]

Great thanks… nice, clear and informative.

[@LegendaryWhitetails]

Thanks!

[@fishnfit8775]

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

[@LegendaryWhitetails]

Thanks, I wrap my hand around the grip, but there's little to no pressure applied.

[@fishnfit8775]

Legendary Whitetails it would be nice too shoot with you sometime man you seem like a good knowledgeable person
