If I had to guess, Dan....I'd say you were having trouble drawing your bow with your hand in the proper position.....because you're pulling too much poundage.

There's nothing wrong with cranking it down a little. No shame.

If my son (he's 14 but looks to be about your size) can't put his sight pin on his target and draw it straight back.......I turn it down.

If I'm wrong....I'm wrong......but it's something to consider.
