sighting in the hind site

[quix20]

somehow my nuts loosened up on my hindsite and i need to re-site it in again. i misplaced my instructions for sighting it in,

is there anyway someone who has one can help me out and let me know how to do this?? i think you move the site different than the pin, but i cant remember for sure.

thanks

Did your sight and or pins move as well? If they didn't you will just have to tinker with the hind-sight...I don't have the bow handy with my hind attached...I have this mental freeze as to the adjustment, but something in my mind is telling me that it moves opposite of the way you move your sight pins...sorry I cant say for sure from memory (feel like a stooge). I hope my faulty memory and jibberish make some sense. If not I am sure somebody will set the matter straight.

NE i was thinking that too, but i wanted to make sure before i shot it again tommorow.

how are you doing with that artic fox tail by the way??

You might want to ask this in the archery section.

The instruction that came with my Hind Sight are virtually worthless, so you're really not missing anything, imo. I set mine up in a comfortable place off my anchor point and then adjusted my front sight, much like a peep. I don't think you want to be adjusting the Hind Sight for sighting in. I think it would be better to have the Hind Sight in a natural position when you're anchored at full draw and then adjust the front sight. Seems to me if your adjusting the Hind Sight for sighting in, your changing your anchor and changing the way you shoot.

Love the Hind Sight, but their documentation is real lame, imo,

You should shoot fairly accurate with out the hindsight, just draw your bow to where you think you are comfortable and shoot, if you hit the bull than move your hindsight accordingly, all it really is doing is setting your anchor. It would be much easier with 2 people. Just get it finger tight, and draw, when you get your anchor set the hindsight. Fire and adjust.

Just like sitting anything in that has a front and rear site:
The rear site moves in the direction you want the projectile, in case the arrow, to go. If you want the arrow to shoot higher move the hind site up, if you want to arrow to go down, move the hind site down.

If you decide to take the advice from the other posts and put the hind site in a specific spot and move the front site to site in it moves just the opposite of the direction you want the arrow to go. If you want the arrow to go up move the post down, if you want the arrow to go down move the post up. If you want the arrow to go left move the post right.

Hope this answers your question.

Did it work for ya?

Have been pretty busy and haven't spent nearly enough time tying:(

[quix20]

no, it didnt work. so i emailed the company and got the instructions sent to me via email. they say you move both sights in the same direction to prevent the teeter totter effect. did that and i am on target now.

thanks for the help

I think it was just the shooter in this case.LOL :lol:

[quix20]

I am considering adding the hind sight to my bow as a last minute adjustment. I have a day and a half that I can take off from work to get sighted in for the opener. What I need to know is if the hind sight will work for a 3 pin system. I just experienced a jaw dropping experience when my local pro shop informed me that the no-peep is not a rear sight but intead just an alighnment tool and suggested going with the hind-sight.

1.Will the hind sight work for a 3 pin system equally for each pin?
2.Will I have to have a different anchor point for each pin?
3.Besides coming loose, have you experienced any other problems with the sight?

Thanks,
Rich

When adjusting the hindsight do it just like you would a Zero peep.
Do a rough adjustment than close your eyes, draw, open your eyes and the hind sight cross hears should be lined up with the top pin on your bow. (Or whichever pin you choose as the primary pin) If not adjust it accordingly. No matter which pin you choose after you line it up with your target you will have to move the bow up or down from that point to use another pin for a different distance. Once you have done it a few times and understand not to cant the bow up or down but physically move it to align another pin on the target it comes easy.

bucknduck,

other than the hind site coming loose, i have experienced no other problems with it. i shoot it the other night in low light conditions and found i had to open both eyes to find the target first then once i found it closed my off eye, and lined up and was dead center.

yes you can shoot a 3 pin system with it. just center your first pin (usually a 20 yd pin) and then line the other pin up keeping the 20 yd pin centered in the crosshairs. i was sceptical at first, but was quite pleasantly surprised when i was putting 3 arrows in the heart at 30 yds. i have never been a believer in more than one pin (to much to think about ie. is he at 30 or more out), but wanted to have another one for some of the 3d shooting i do with friends. i found the 20 yd pin just wasnt enough for that.

with keeping the 20 yd pin (or whatever pin you site in first) centered your anchor point will not change.

they have some better info if i want clear enough on their website hindsightco.com

quix20 and everyone else,
thanks for the info. The hind sight sounds like the solution to get me away from the peep sight on my bow. Because my bow is zero'd in for bow season, i think i'm going to stay with my setup but look at picking up the hind sight to install it in november. Thanks again and good luck bow hunting. I can't believe how much today feels like a fall day outside to be in the treestand, cool and overcast in Ann Arbor.
