Hi wayne
just shoot at a bail 30 yds away and slide the pin to where the bolts are hitting. Example: if the bolts are landing higher than you are aiming move the pin up. If the bolts are lower than your aiming point, move your pin down a hair.
hope this helps
what crossbow did u get by the way?
what are you planning to hunt with it this year? archery island elk?

Re: Sigt In Distence
I don't have pins ,i have a scope ,4 power tasco. I have an Excalibur. I just shot a 6 inch group at 20 yards within 1 inch all i did was adjusted the scope the same way i would with my rifle scope .hunter47.

oh, does it have little mini cross hairs? or just one cross hair in the center?
maybe shoot at 30 and see if it is realitevly similar
sighting in for 30 yds might be your best option and then just see where the bolts are hitting when you are shooting 20 yds. It will probably be pretty close.
and with a crossbow I heard the bolts lose kinetic energy fast as they are short so you probably want to keep your shots around 30 yds anyway
