New to archery and trying to find answers

[Codymay282]

I just started shooting Christmas, very new to archery I got the mathews arc 34, #65 z mod, 28.5 draw length, with uv slider 2, 402 grain VAP tko shooting 281.6 fps, got my sight setup and the sight tape on, the tape goes to 111 yards, but the slider max’s out at 96 yards, I’m going to Pennsylvania tac in May and hoping to be able to get 120 yards for the event, my question if I raise my sight housing up and my peep up will my 20 yard mark go higher up allowing for the tape to be moved up?

been a few years out of archery. your sight seems to be a single pin? thinking you might try a 3 or 5 pin, with the bottom pin your rover.

Raise the peep and the sight marks will follow by default.

Im curious to see where your rest is. Would you please post a picture of it from the quiver side?

IMO your peep should be placed wherever it naturally aligns with your eye with your face and neck in a comfortable, neutral position...nose lightly touching the string, chin level, neck neither scrunched down nor craned up. I would let body geometry determine where to put the peep; I wouldn't put it extra high trying to squeeze a few more yards out of your sight for a novelty shot.

To get more yardage, you would move your sight housing down (not up). Drop the housing (if you can) then slide the tape upward to match the pin to the tape. This may cause your pin to be unable to reach 20 yds on the upper end. At a given arrow speed and range of sight travel, you can only span so many yards...might be 20-96 or 30-103 (just spitballing numbers to illustrate the point) or some other combination. Also, you can only drop your sight so far before your arrow fletching contacts the housing.

Looking at the pictures you might be able to slide your sight in closer to the raiser. The closer the sight is to the peep the farther you will be able to shoot. Also I shot mine arrows with the cock vane up which cuts my distance I can shoot. So I put a mark on my sight tape where the vane would hit. If I want to shoot pass that point I shot the cock vane down and pick up some more distance.
