Default Found a kink in the Hot Dot gonna drop it

Well as much as I love the Hot Dot I have found a unfixable kink that applies to me. My sight is mounted on my Mathews Drenalin. I have been tuning the bow with my hunting setup and have the bow dropping arrows on top of each other at all ranges. I had complained a bit earlier about the sight washing out a bit when the sun was behind me. I now realize it was in fact due to the bow torquing in my hand.

With my Mathews I must use a open handed grip in order to avoid imparting any torque on my shot. With this grip the sight seems to lean slightly in a direction that washes out the led dots. If I close my hand I can torque the bow and twist the sight so that it is straight again and all of the led's become visible. This flaw may be a result of my right handed left eye dominant shooting style. My sight is set close to the riser somewhat and this causes the dots to disappear in my sight window. I may play with it a bit more and see if I can fix it but if not this thing is going on my backup and I will go Spott Hogg w/wrap.
