    So I bought a new bow last year after the season, and now I finally got around to shooting it and getting it ready for this season. But my question is when adjusting your pin do you follow the arrow or is it opposite of the arrow?
    For example if I'm shooting low do I follow the arrow and move my pin down or do I move my pin up?

    never shot a bow. but it seems to me you would move it down, because the act of moving your pin down would in-turn raise the front of the bow. there for raising your point of impact

    yep, I remember by "chase" the arrow until zero.
    And a reminder to all, broadheads usually dont fly the same as field points. You have to re=zero with a broadhead. One trick here is to add a 1/4 turn to both limbs and shoot and it usually pulls itself in pretty quick
    I use one that I keep in my quiver for a practice arrow and shoot it from my stand in the morning just before getting down.
    Good luck
