- 1). Align the front sight in the center of the rear aperture (rear hole) if using circular sights. The front sight should slightly wave--due to the tension of your body as you draw the bow--in the rear aperture. Once the front sight is centered, focus on the target and release your arrow.
- 2). Align the cross-hair reticle on the end of the arrow rest with the center of the target if using a compound bow cross-hair sight. Once the target center is aligned with the cross-hair center, release the arrow. The cross-hair is a thin line cross enclosed by a circle, with the center of the cross used as the aiming point.
- 3). Hold the vertical line or dot--at the bottom at the arrow rest--in the center of the two vertical lines or dots on the top of the arrow rest sight. This dot or line sight takes practice. The target must be centered in the space between the two sights, while simultaneously centering the lines or dots. Once the bottom line or dot is centered between the two top lines or dots, and the target is in the center, release the arrow.
