You can buy a subscription to Archers Advantage for about $12 a year.Īrchers Advantage will ask for specific measurements related to your bow, arrow and sight. Archers Advantage is great for tinkering with arrow builds as well as allowing you to build custom sight tapes. You will need to use a program like Archers Advantage, which I recommend. It’s also the best option for single pin sights. It does result in a nice product and yields the best results in my opinion. This method is much more involved and it will take some time. The Front of Center percentage and vane choice/configuration can impact the drop at distance, but the tapes provided are typically close. The way you set your arrow up will impact how it flies at distance. These tapes will be close, but, once again, may not be exact at longer yardages. Select the tape that has the same FPS as your chronograph results and apply that tape. In this case, you can shoot your bow/arrow combination through a chronograph and compare it to the speed (FPS) indicated on the tapes provided. Many sights include tapes that have the Feet Per Second (FPS) labeled with each tape. This method can get you close however, depending on the build of your arrow, you may have some variability at further distance. Line up the marks of your pins (20 to 60) with the sight tapes and find the one that fits the best with your marks and apply it. Then, take that paper and compare it to the sight tapes provided with your sight. After your pins are sighted in, take a blank piece of paper and hold it behind your pins (20 to 60) that have been sighted in and make a small pencil mark on the paper next to each pin. If you shoot a multi-pin slider sight, you can sight in your pins. This is time consuming however, it does allow you to verify each of your marks through shooting groups. ![]() Once you shoot in each distance, you can compare your marked up tape to the tapes provided with your sight and apply the tape that matches your marks. This is time consuming, but works and is verified. Once I feel confident in a mark, I use a pen and make a small mark on the blank tape for that yardage and move to the next range. For example, if I have pins for 20 to 60 yards and I have those sighted in, I can use the dial to move the sight down and shoot my bottom pin in for 70, 80, 90, etc., yards. The first way is to put on a blank sight tape (aka blank sticker) and shoot in each distance through trial and error. ![]()
