FPS Tapes are pretty accurate under 40. You can just line up the pins to the tape and it will be very close if not spot on.

 

Good Luck, I asked on here as I had the same questions and watched several videos saying how to do it the opposite of each other.

Went to the range and had my phone on one video, already had 20-30-40 centered but how was I to get a 60, video said to slide the whole site down , then measure between the 20-60 pins, but I moved all the pins when I moved the whole site down, so I gave up for now,

after thinking and watching other videos I think I need to buy another pointer for the longer distances

 

I hear you...I'm baffled.

 

Just leave it as a 3 pin until you’re comfortable shooting that distance.

But when you’re ready, shoot in your 20/30/40. Roll your site down a little and shoot until you’re on at 50 and mark. If you’re tired quit for the day.

Tomorrow shoot some at 20. A couple @ 50 and then straight to 60. Repeat for 70 and you should have your tape.

I cut the tops of my tapes off so they start at 40.

You’ll likely find that the further you go your
Left and right may need adjusting. 1” at 20 can be a complete miss @ 70.

Running a .10 pin on the bottom helps a lot but ultimately it’s just gonna
Take practice. I shot the same sight all year last year without even bothering to pick a tape so don’t pressure yourself to do it until you’re a good
Enough shot to do it right. Good luck!

 

Appreciate it. Good advice as I'm probably getting ahead of myself and should be competent out to 40 first. I'll mess with it a bit tomorrow. Getting frustrated when I don't understand something is definitely a personality flaw.

 

Another user mentioned this but don’t get too worked up. It might take you a few days to get your sight set up - it’s NOT worth struggling if your tired or shooting poorly that day. Come back tomorrow.

Your steps to set up a slider are correct. You need confidence at 60 first though

 

Step 1. Sight in pins.

Step 2. Walk back time with the indicator. Put a blank tape on. Mark your 20. Then 25 if you need too. 30, 40. As far back as you are comfy. 40 is fine.

Step 3. Match your tape marks with the tapes you have. Take your time. Get it as perfect as you can.

Step 4. Put tape on. Double check pins and verify before you move anything.

Step 5. Move the indicator to the distance of your bottom pin. This is where most people make a mistake. Your bottom pin will be your slider. So you have 20, 30, 40,. Move your indicator to 40. NOT the wheel.

Step 6. Move wheel to 45 yards. Shoot bow. How'd it do? Check your other tape marks. 50. 60 if you get brave. Remember the bottom pin is your slider. And don't forget to move your wheel back to the top before you shoot your pins or you'll put one in the pawnky toolies. I think I explained it right

You can also try matching the tape to your pin gaps. I like doing the blank because you can do closer increments.

 

Thanks Wicked...... That's how I understand it. Since my 3 pins will be 20/30/40, I'll have the top pin and top indicator at 20 on the tape (will also allow the top pin to be my top slider with my top indicator). Then move the bottom INDICATOR needle (not wheel) to 40...as my 40 pin will be my bottom slider.

As above, going to concentrate on becoming more proficient at the pin ranges for now. I'm able to shoot 23 and 30 at the shop at work. I shot 60 arrows yesterday at those ranges working on basics and fundamentals.
