Default RE: Sight Pin

Jeff, you call me an engineer again and we're gonna squabble!!! I ain't no freakin' engineer, I'm a machinist! Us guys that make the stuff have to figure out how to make engineers' idiot ideas work.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

&quot;I do believe it has to do w/ the fact that many bows nowadays have a grip that is offset from the centerline of the riser. Possibly this causes an &quot;overcompensation&quot; in the pin settings to the opposite side of the direction the grip is offset towards.&quot;

Sounds to me like what you are describing is torque. I know you're an experienced shooter, so I would have to lay the blame on the bow design itself.

If I had a bow that forced me to have the pins out of alignment with the arrow, I wouldn't have that bow long. Not a single bow I've ever had (at least since I starting shooting sights for field archery competition some 20 years ago) has ever had the pins out of whack like that.

You don't happen to use a C-Peep, do you?
