Default Need help with wifes bow

My wife has a Hoyt Salena. The problem is the sight. It's an HHA. I have the head in the very bottom of the slide, I cant get any more adjustment, at the moment its as low as it can go. Which means she can only shoot at 15 yards. I have the same sight on my V-Tech with no problems. Is there an adapter I can buy to lower it? Or should I look into a new sight?

Your nock set on your string ,if you've moved it ,it might just be your problem.

If Im not mistaken, you say you can raise the peep. Wouldnt that be the correct way to go? Thus raising arrow point of impact. Then you should have lots of upward adjustment on your sight.Just moving it a 1/2 inch could be enough. Some one correct me if Im wrong

By lowering your nocking point even a 1/8 of an inch is going to make the flight of the arrow shoot higher.

That's my thought as well Okie ,it's either his peep sight or nock set that need's to be adjusted ,but the peep is the easiest place to start .
