Default Got a new peep sight, now struggling.

I was shooting just fine, then my old peep sight went flying out. I took it to a shop, got all new strings, cables, and a new peep sight. Now I can't hit a thing!!! I know it is a pretty vague description, but any advice on how to get back to putting arrows where I want them? Thanks.

Peep has to be adjusted for the individual user and has to match the diameter of the sight relatively. When you view thru a peep with the newer round housing sight, you chould only be able to the whole ring. Most are bright orange. Too large or too small can cause issues. If you pull back with your eyes closed, and then open and not dead on sight adjust up and down until you are.

They are super easy to tie in. No need for a shope or anything.

When I shoot, I can put 3 arrows right on top of each other, problem is they are 6" higher than where I aimed. I have adjusted my 20 yd. sight pin quite a few times, but no matter how much I move it I am still 6" too high. Starting to get frustrated.

Something is moving on you!! Stand 5-10yds from the target shoot three shots and different areas and adjust site. Do it again, if hitting in the same place then all is well, back up to 20yds and do again.

It's pretty simple. Your new peep sight was installed higher than your old peep sight was. Move it down on the string.
