I'm gearing up for the upcoming VA season and I've made a couple of adjustments on my bow. As a result the bow is shooting five inches higher at twenty yards than it is at 10 or 30. The bow has been paper tuned by a bowtech and the rest is inline with the nock and string. What could be causing the problem?
The changes that I've made are:
Increased the poundage from 55 to 62
Shooting 400 gr. Easton Axis compared to last years Cabon Raiders
Added a Quiktune 360 to replace a WB
I would appreciate the insight.
That is the ARC in Archery. If you look at a ballistic table, and set a pin for 30yds, that arrow will be close to 0 at 5yd, rise until it peaks around 17 - 18yds, then gradually drop to hit the 30yd. spot There is nothing wrong with that, that is what it is supposed to do. And for the record, just because a bow has been "paper-tuned," doesn't mean it's "YOU-tuned." PAPER-TUNING is ONLY a start point, and MOST guys will adjust things ever-so-slightly for shooting BH's or when they do a walk-back, because they'll find that the set-up needs a little tweaking.
Do what Mikey said, adjust the site so your top pin is dead on at 20yds, and then go from there.
