I picked up a new sight. Apex gear. I’ve never had to sight in anything brand new. I’ve made some adjustments but for the most part it was already there. Any tips for sighting in a brand new sight?

Some sights allow all pins to be moved at the same time. Most are probably that way now. Make sure you have plenty of clearance for the arrow and vanes as it leaves the bow and start from there.
If you know how to make a small adjustment, you know how to make any adjustment. IMO, setting up a rest is trickier than a sight.

What I was getting at was whether it was a floating pin sight. Go here to see what I mean: custombowequipment.com/collections/hunting-sights/products/tek-hybrid-pro. This is my sight and the set up takes (me) a couple of hours. Since your sight is not this type and you don't need to tune the pin settings to the elevation tape selector your set up should be pretty straight forward. This is just how I set up a non floating pin sight and ymmv: Set your pins at the desired three distances, normally 20,30 and 40 yards. Obviously this involves windage and elevation adjustments. Beyond that there isn't much else I do. I'd recommend taking the bow to a shop to have your third axis checked. I don't know how to do that. LOL. But I do know that is is important. Good luck. Keep us up to date on your progress
