Chances are good when you go to shoot the next day, there will be a slight change in your grip, anchor, or how you’re looking through your peep. So, say you pick up your bow in the spring and spend a few hours getting your bow dialed in from 20 to 60 yards, and then you go through the sight builders’ recommendations on choosing the correct sight tape. Everyone realizes that it takes a while to get familiar with a new bow, but we can forget that the same holds for getting reacquainted with an old one if you haven’t been shooting in a while, or shooting to outside distances.
