Adjusting your sights - The ultimate goal in archery is to get a consistent three-arrow grouping in the middle of the target. Ideally, each arrow should hit in the exact center of the target. To get closer to that goal, we need to sight in our bow by adjusting the sights.
NEVER adjust your aiming point to compensate for where your arrows are hitting.
ALWAYS aim for the exact center of the target and adjusts your sights accordingly.
Once you have attained a relative grouping of arrows WHILE AIMING AT THE CENTER OF THE TARGET, then you'll need to adjust your sights. For our demonstration, let's assume a consistent three-arrow grouping that is hitting above and to the right of the aiming point. To bring the grouping closer to the aiming point, move the front sight up and to the right.
Always move the front sight in the direction from center where the arrows are hitting the target.
Shoot more three-arrow shots and continue adjusting the sights in this manner until the grouping is centered on the target.
Remember, if you are relatively new to this sport, your grouping may be quite large. Keep working on your form and shooting until you get a consistent three-arrow grouping that you can cover with your hand. Once you are at that point, it's time to start adjusting your sights. Keep practicing and you'll see your groupings getting tighter and closer to center.
