Default RE: Why am I shooting high?

You probably need to go back to the start and set the bow up from scratch. You moved your rest up. Did you set your nocking point before or after moving the rest? Here's how I'd do it. Set your rest so that with an arrow approximately square on the string the arrow passes the riser at the same height as the rest mounting hole (we used to call it a berger button hole) and move left or right for centershot. Use a bow square and set your nocking point height about 1/8" to 1/4" above square. Make sure the bow is set to the weight you want to start with. Go shoot it through paper and adjust as necessary. Then shoot through paper at a couple more distances like 10 and 15'. Fine tune as necessary. Go sight your bow in for 20 yards. After that you can walk-back tune, group tune or whatever you want to do to really fine tune the bow. Then resight it.

After you got it set, then measure your ATA, brace height, bow weight, nocking point height, peep height above the nocking point, tiller, and whatever else you can think of. Write the figures down and keep them. Mark the side of your cams where they pass through the limbs.

Go shoot your bow and have fun. Periodically check some of the measurements to see if your rigging is creeping. Readjust as necessary.
