I just started shooting a week ago and I have the sight that normally comes with a Parker Buck Hunter package. The sight has 3 pointers: A red one, a yellow one, and a green one. Which one do I have to use to hit my target?

most of your answers so far are pretty correct, each pin set for a certain distance I shoot a PSE predator and have 4 pins. I use carbon express carbon arrows. my first pin is good for 10 and 20 yards, my second pin for 30 , 3rd pin for 40 and 4 pin for 50 although i doubt id risk a shot at 50 yards. Noone mentioned HOW to set them up. After your elevation is set you need to adjust your windage (moving the pin to left if its shooting right and move it to the right if its shooting left)
Next you will need to adjust your arrow rest this is an easy task also. on a regular piece of paper make vertical line approx 1 in thick and a horizontal line same saze on another piece of paper.
Begin with the horizontal line, shoot a group of 3 arrows in the center of the line. adjust your arrow rest accordingly as you did your sight up if its high down if it is low. Then shot at the vertical line and adjust laft if its to the right and right id its to the left. Now your bow should be "in tune". I would also suggest a few practice shots with broadheads as some arrows will fly differently. I have noticed a 3 inch difference at 20 yards in some case. if this happens simply make minor adjustments with your sight pins to compensate for broadheads. Another note, expandable bladed broadheads fly like field tips however I dont care for them as I have had some problems in the past with them not deploying on contact. As with "Uncle Ted" (Ted Nugent) the "Whackmaster" I use Magnuss broadheads. Superior in my mind

The sight basically sets up like this. Get close to tager initially. Like 6-8 feet away. Aim dead on at a spot. If you miss left, mose the sight left. If you miss right move the sight right. Same with up and down. The three "pins" that you use are in no particular order for anything, just your personal prefernce. You use the top one for 10 yards, the second for 20 yards, and the third for 30 yards. At least that is how I have mine set up. I hunt in Ohio. If you are out west where you have longs shots like 60 yards then you might want to set it up differently. Don't forget to maintain a good and consistance anchor point (the place where you pull back to) everytime. I like to put my knuckle where my index finger meets my palm into that "hole" behind my ear. It also allows me to put my thumb under the corner of my jaw everytime also. Try a kisser button if you can. I like them a lot. I also have a release aide. I prefer the strap on kind around the wrist. Eapecially if you are hunting! No dropping it from the tree stand accidentally then. anyway, once you sight that 8 foot thing in pretty close, move back to the 10, 20 , 30 yard marks and sight in the other pins. If you have more questions give me a shout. I wish I had more help when I was starting out.

ive been shooting archery for 20 years and have been coaching archery for 8 years. Its totally up to you which pin you want to use. You will just have to set each sight to where you want it. most people have a 15 yard 20yard and a 30yard sight. Hope that helps and good luck to ya

usually its 30yrd 40 50 then always pull your realse to the same spot on your cheek and then line the dot up on the spot you want to hit it my tak a while you should use a foam target or bail of hay and get practice tips that wight the sam as your broad heads or just practice with the razors out. Good luck

capturing with a lengthy bow is right down to training. it isn't conceivable to be as precise as someone in a movie. it is fiction. at the same time as the lengthy bow replaced into used in conflict it wasn't predicted to be precise. Archers hardly ever shot at a man or woman purpose. You had countless thousand archers, each and every firing countless arrows a minute, filling the air with arrows, arising an finished section that it replaced into no longer conceivable to flow by ability of without being hit.

well there's a number of ways to answer that question. you have to start out at a known distance such as 20 yards. your first pin(red one) should be for 20 yards. each additional pin should be sighted in for 10 yards more... such as red pin is 20 yards, yellow is 30 yards, green pin is 40 yards... i hope i helped you happy shooting...
