Set-up

• Check the bow string, limbs and riser for any signs of wear or cracking that might result in damage to the bow and shooter. Check and tighten the sight plate, grip, stabilizer and quiver to reduce vibration. Nock an arrow, and place it on the rest. Determine if the rest requires adjustment to level the arrow.
  
  

Arrows

• Use arrows that are the correct circumference, weight and length for the bow. Shoot only field points and broadheads of the same weight; this maintains consistency. Use arrows that feature either three or four strips of fletching. An archer must practice with the arrows he uses in the field or at the range.
  
  

Shooting

• Pull back the bow string so the nock of the arrow is at the corner of your mouth. Hold this position until you obtain your sight on the target; gently release the string. Holding or slowing your breathing reduces your shakiness and results in more consistent shots. Keep a relaxed grip on the bow. Let the bow fall slightly forward upon release of the arrow. This aids in creating a straight trajectory.
  
  

Sight Tuning

• Shoot a group of three to six arrows to obtain an accurate assessment for sight adjustment. Adjust the pin sights to the left to move the path of the arrow to the right. Adjust the pin sights to the right to move the path of the arrow to the left. Adjusting the pins in small increments ensures that you don't over-adjust the sight. If your shots consistently miss the bull's-eye, you are either pulling the shots or your arrows are faulty. When you are comfortable with your accuracy, tighten the sight pins. Mark the location of the pins in case they move.
