If You are shooting a little high adjust Your pin a little high.. Follow Your arrow.

I’m assuming your sight has only one pin? But I do suggest you go somewhere and shoot beyond that to see who the bow is going to react beyond whatever you set your pin at. A lot depends on the speed of your bow, two yards usually don't make a difference, unless it's real close, that is where you will see a major difference.

set them where ever you like, just know what they are set at. shooting @ 18 or 20 yds shouldnt make much difference in poa

If it's slower or you don't shoot a lot, I would suggest 15, 25, 35 because 35 is probably your legitamit shooting limit anyway.

If you mean your 20 yard pin hits high at 20 yards I strongly suggest you adjust it till it hits dead on or even a hair low. Whitetail duck at the sound of a bow so you will almost always hit higher than aiming already. Not to mention that I have never seen a deer shot too low with a bow that didn't die but I would guess 95% of deer that are shot and live with a bow are hit too high. There is a cavity just above the lungs and just below the spine that has nothing in it that you can hit and cut nothing but meat. The deer will live and heal very quickly if hit here.

Switch to traditional and you can forget all that yardage stuff along with the training wheels
