Do I need a 3rd axis bow sight?
Remember, if you are shooting to the left on downhill shots, you need to turn the level (sight body) away from you and if you are shooting to the left on uphill shots the opposite is true. Bottom line: If you expect long uphill and downhill shots, you need a sight with third-axis adjustment.
What yardage should I set my pins at?
The most common top pin setting for both timber and the open fields is 20 yards. These days, most compound bows are fast enough to see very little difference in arrow trajectory between 10-20 yards. When this is the case, the first pin is usually set at 20 yards that also serves as a pin for 10-25 yard distances.
