Default RE: TROUBLE WITH NEW SIGHT

If your bow is tuned decently you shouldn't be having such a rpoblem. Let's assume that your bow is tuned and that your nocking point has not moved. Then you must have a very high anchor point. This will automatically make you shoot lower.

Are you moving the sight the right way? Not being a smarty, but some guys don't know which way to move a sight.

One way to cusre the problem is to lower your anchor point. Assuming you have a kisser and peep, they will have to be moved. Most kisser buttons are attached approx. 1 1/2" to 1 3/4" above the nocking point. The peep will mount somewhere between 5" and 6" above the nocking point. These can vary some depending on the length of the bow and the drawlength, but somewhere within these parameters should be in the ball park.

You did good to start your sighting. No reason to back up and lose arrows. I would set the first pin for 20 yards, and this should only hit about an inch high at 10 yards. After you get it close you should be able to move back to 20 yards and set it better.

Let us know how you make out. Oh, and a little more info about your setup might be helpful---in detail.
