I've researched, but I cannot find the info. I have a 5 pin sight. I am getting back into shooting, but never got past 20 yards. Where in the sight housing should I put the 20 yard pin so most my pins are about even in the sight housing? If it helps, I am shooting a 2014 PSE Vision set at around 55 pounds. It is currently at the top of the housing, but I don't want to start setting pins then have to redo again because they are not centered in the sight housing (I'm OCD like that...lol). Any help will be appreciated. P.S., all pins were moved to the bottom of the sight housing and are no longer where they were from the factory. I can shoot up to 20 yards in my yard, maybe up to 30, but past 30 I would have to go to a park or to a real range.

If you want them all centered then start with the middle pin at whatever distances you have determined (on a multi sight I always set one at 10yd increments ie 20,30,40,50,60)
You didn't give much info other than you are shooting 55# so you may find that 5yd increments work better for you (heavy arrow out of 55# will have bigger gaps between 10yd pins)
I would start with a 20yd, then set a 30. Check the gap and see if you want a 25.
Determine your effective range (based on accuracy and what you feel comfortable with) and set one 10yds greater than that to give you something to challenge yourself with when practicing and get rid of the extras.

First thing you have to consider is what is going to be the distance of your furthest/last pin. For example, if your last pin is going to be set for 60 yards then you probably can't put your 20 yard pin close to the middle of your sight, it will have to go close to the top to make room for your 60 yard pin at the bottom. Now if you don't think you will ever shoot out to 60 yards and only go with 40 max. Sight in your 30 yard pin right in the middle as someone suggested above. Me personally, I would never have my max pin be 40 yards. Even though I don't shoot animals past that anymore, it's always fun to shoot longer distances especially if your shooting with friends. Also practicing at those longer distances will make 20-30 seam like a chip shot.

I put the second pin in the middle and sight it in for 30 yds. 20 is just above it and 40 is just below. I took the other two pins and moved them to the bottom since I wont shoot over 40 yds during the season, and then only while practicing. In the Spring I will put pin #4 at 50 yds for practice.
