As you would any bow sight, on flat ground. Most start sighting it in at around 20-25 yards depending on your arrow speed. After you have it zeroed in on flat ground it should be good to go at elevation. It's a good idea to shoot at a couple of targets, at a known distance from your tree stand, just to reassure yourself it's working fine.
You would have to either get a new bow or a new sight.

the target
A sight window on a compound bow is where the arrow and bowstring are aligned to aim accurately at the target. It typically includes an adjustable sight pin or scope to help the archer achieve precise aiming and consistent accuracy.
It would be worth approximately $125.
A bow sight is adjusted by moving the pin in the direction of arrow impact. If the arrow is high of the spot, move the pin up. If the arrow is hitting left of spot, move pin left. etc. Just rember dont move the sight for the first few arrows, it might just be tou torquing the bow and not the sight.

Fixed pin sights are typically better for precision shooting at specific distances, as you can adjust the pins for different yardages. Pendulum sights are useful for shooting from treestands or elevated positions as they automatically compensate for angle changes, but may not be as accurate for long-distance shooting. Ultimately, the choice depends on your shooting style and preferences.
The initial goal when sighting in a bow is to ensure that the arrows consistently hit the intended target at a specific distance. This involves adjusting the sight to align with the bow’s trajectory, accounting for factors like arrow speed and drop. By fine-tuning the sight settings, the archer can improve accuracy and confidence in their shooting. Ultimately, the goal is to achieve a tight grouping of arrows on the target.
Yes, the velocity of the arrow when it is released from the bow is the same as the velocity with which it strikes the pendulum, assuming no external forces like air resistance act on it. The arrow's initial velocity is conserved until it impacts the pendulum, meaning that its speed remains constant in the absence of such forces. However, in real-world scenarios, factors like air resistance can slightly reduce its velocity before impact.
A bare bow cannot have any sort of attachments or sight on it. A standard re-curve bow may have any attachments the shooter would like on it. This distinction is usually only used in tournaments.
A compound bow consists of a riser, limbs, cams, strings, cables, and a grip. The riser is the central part where the limbs are attached. Limbs store and release energy when the bow is drawn. Cams control the draw weight and speed of the bow. Strings and cables transfer energy from the limbs to the arrow. The grip is where the archer holds the bow. Compound bows often have features like a sight, arrow rest, stabilizer, and peep sight to improve accuracy and performance.
