I recieved an older bear bow from one of my friends last year. Its a better bow than the seneca I hadbeenusing,so I started shooting it in the back yard. It shot fine but the draw length is about 2 1/2 inches too long. I tuck my thumb right infront of my ear (behind my jaw bone) for an anchor point.

I put on broadheads a couple weeks ago just because I was curious to see how they shot compared to the field tips. When I pulled back, the blade of the broadhead deflected off the riser and popped off the rest. I hadnt realized the arrows were so short, so I went out and bought new arrows.

I took the arrows home and took one shot at 30 yds (using field tips). The arrow hit the dirt infront of the target (I shoot at a block target). I thought I had just screwed up the shot somehow, but the other two arrows also hit the dirt.

This led me to major confusion. I dropped my pins and tried again, but I still hit low.

I ended up havingto drastically drop my pins and lower my nocking point. My pins are now so low that there is barely room for my 30 yard pin and I had to completely get rid of my 40 yard pin.

I tried to do some paper tuning, but because I lowered my nocking point, I came out having a long low tear. Im worried that If I raise my nocking point, my arrow will drop and I will be forced to discard my 30 yard pin.

Im merely looking for some suggestions of what to do. Id really like to practice from farther ranges but am not sure how its possible for me to do so.

I can try to post pictures of the bow later if anyone would like to see them.

Im not sure if this is any useful information, but there is a 1" space between my 10 and 30 yard pin.

Thanks for any help.
