There is no need to take it back to the shop. Attach it to your bow which it will definitely tell you how to in the instructions then just shoot. If the arrows go high move the sight up if they go down move it down and same for left and right.

Most compound bows have 2 parts attached to a bow that are used to aim with. The 1st part is called the peep site and is a small piece of plastic with a hole in it. This is attached to the string and it is critical to have it in the correct location.
To set the peep site - draw your bow back with your eyes closed and use your normal anchor point for your release hand. I use the back of my jaws when shooting with a release. Then open your shooting eye and you will be able to see if the peep has to move up or down on the string.
Most sights mounted to the riser of the bow have a round outer plastic frame. line this outer round plastic frame with the small hole located in the peep site on the string after you have drawn back the bow. I will always set the tip of my nose on the string when looking through the peep.
Bowequipped.com has a whole page of shooting tips if you are new to archery.
Different sights have different numbers of pins and can put you in separate classes if you shoot in competion.
Most high powered bows have very little varience between 0 and 20 yards so most archers set their top pin at 20 yards. Then every 10 yards after that so the 2nd pin is 30 yards and so on until all have been set.
The old rule of thumb when adjusting pins as stated above is
Follow the arrow.
If you shoot 6 arrows and the grouping is to high, raise the pin. If you shoot 6 arrows and the grouping is to low, lower the pin. If you shoot 6 arrows and the grouping is to to the right, move the pin right. If you shoot 6 arrows and the grouping is to to the left, move the pin left.
All the pins should be in a perfect vertical line up and down. Some sights come with a small wire straight down the middle of the site.
Once set you should be good to go with 1 final note. Say you break a D-Loop or knock point on your string. Most sites have ajustments to move the whole site up/down and left/right. Make sure your fletchings on your arrows clear the sites.

∙ 16y agoSince pellets drop fairly quickly, you have to sight in a pellet gun for a particular distance (say 50 feet) and adjust the sights to hit the bulls eye at that distance. If you shoot closer or farther you will have to shoot lower or higher accordingly.

∙ 14y agoIf you are shooting to the left of the bull-adjust your pin to the left. Same fur height-If your shooting high on the bull adjust pin higher.Always adjust your sights in the same direction that you are off on!

How should you pick a scope for your air soft gun?
If you're going for style and functionality You could buy an EoTech Holographic sight. These sights are around $80 new. they are high quality and very useful. these sights are clase range sight, but I use another attachment called an EoMagnifier. this goes just behind the EoTech holographic and magnifies the view. this can give you better sight, but not limit your close range. Red dot sight and reflex sights are also good for close range. mid range sights such as acogs are better for GBB's and guns with higher firepower and lower Rate of Fire. Snipers should use scopes.

What is a brand new astra a 100 worth?
Around $425 for new-in-box, with papers, etc. Some of these had night sights. Since they have not been imported into the US since 1997, those sights are now at least 14 years old, and will be getting dim. While the Blue Book adds $90 for the night sight option, I would discount that due to age.
Why was the compound bow invented?
There are two parts to the answer of this:(Part 1). In 1966, Holless Wilber Allen invented "Compound Bow" with triangular wheels / cams. He was then granted a patent right in 1969.Only Holless Wilber Allen could answer this question from an inventor stand point.(Part 2). The differences between a Compound Bow and a Traditional Bow, are the existence and the non-existence of the wheels / cams for the two bows, and the relative resultant size of the two designs, with compound bow being much shorter than a traditional bow.The design of the compound bow introduced 2 new ways to how an arrow is shot, which could be viewed as an advantage or as an improvement in efficiency and effectiveness with weapon design. First, the smaller overall length of the compound bow allows a hunter to move around in the woods with the possibility of the bow catching onto plants and branches greatly reduced. Second, the existence of the wheels / cams requires maximum effort in pulling and minimal effort in holding & aiming stage allows a much longer and steadier hold time when compare with traditional bow shooting of the same draw weight, hence making shooting an much easier task with better accuracy (less shaking of the bow arm). The draw length and tension level of a compound bow feels exactly the opposite as how a traditional bow was pulled.In other words, the design of the compound bow greatly reduce the human factors and uncertainty in archery. The invention of mechanical release also suggest the same by taking away the possibility of string "plugging" when a compound bow was shot with finger release. There are many debates on whether the design of compound bow is taking away too many human physical elements out of the sport of archery. Compound archery is currently not one of the Olympic Archery shooting style.Answer provided by: CUPID'S GATE ARCHERY - San Francisco & Marin County www.cupidsgatearchery.com
How do you re-string a compound bow?
To re-string a compound bow, you must first get the bow limbs to bend. The easiest way (and the safest) is to place the bow, with the string above the bow (it will look like a smile) in what is called a "bow press". Once the bow is in the press, it is pushed down to bend the limbs ("compressed"), causing the string to go slack; the string is now removed from the cams and the new string is installed. De-compress the bow and remove it from the press.The bow press can be somewhat expensive to purchase, so it may be best to take the bow to an archery shop and have the string replaced there. Due to the amount of pressure required to bend the bow's limbs, as well as the need to keep them bent while changing the string, attempting to restring a compound bow without the proper equipment is definitely not recommended.
