Default RE: importance of properly set 3rd axis

That may get you close because you are actually drawing up on an angle and shooter induced torque will be compensated for but what is going to happen if your riser isn't square with your arrow?


Your sight bar is at an angle,therefore,you have not set the bubble square with the arrow.Meaning your bubble will be off on downhill/uphill shots.


It may be close or it may not.


The best way to check isif the sight can bemoved in and out.Take the sight and move it in as far as it will go.Shoot a couple arrows at say 30 yards.Then move the sight bar out as far as it will go then shoot again.The arrows will impact on a differenthorizontal plane but they should hit on the same vertical plane.(same left and right).


If they are not the same,shim the bar in or out so that they are the same plane.Then your 3rd axis will be set properly,via the 4rth axis.


Can you see why this subject has so many confused,even the manufactuers of the sights?
