Instructions

      Follow the manufacturer's instructions when attaching the sight to the bow with the two screws included in the packaging. Use an Allen wrench to tighten the screws and secure the sight in place.

      Double-check the sight's built-in level with another level.

      Align the sight housing in the middle of the peep-sight by moving the gang-adjustment screw. You should see all the pins in the sight when you fully draw your bow and look through the peep-sight. Adjust the sight housing either up or down, according to your anchor point.

      Shoot a few test arrows into a target placed 20 yards away. Use the sight's top pin for close range. Record where the arrows are hitting the target and make adjustments to the sight pins. You might need an Allen wrench to adjust the pins. Some sights have dial adjustments.
