Pictures, statements and questions.
First off, here are the pictures.
Second, here is what I know.
It is a bear Whitetail Hunter, 30" 55#, 60# or 65# adjustable, estimated to be made in the late sixties to early seventies. (The guy at the shop gave me the age)
Lastly, some questions.
I have four pins, three of which are adjustable, that are the front sighting pieces (As seen in the second picture).
What distances should I try to set these at? I'm thinking I should range them at 25', 50' and 75', but I do not understand what the one at the top, that is fixed in place, is for.
What distance should I be starting to practice at?
Thanks,
DSM

Going by your pictures your sight bracket can be moved up and down to set that as your top pin. Then you set your other 3 (or more if you choose to add them) for longer distances. I would bet as your skill and strength improve you will change that top pin to 10 or 20 yards, and then in 10 yard increments from there. At least that is what most of us do. I run 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, and 80 yard pins. All personal preference.
Good luck

If I were you I'd set my pins at either 10-20-30, or 15-25-35.
You shouldn't be shooting past 35 yards at animals with that bow. It just won't have the downrange energy for a clean kill.
