Ah, baloney! Don't listen to that underachiever. [8D]

You don't need no stinkin' sights! If you want to shoot without sights (my favorite way, especially now that my eyes are so bad I can't see sight pins anyway), I highly recommend getting a copy of Byron Ferguson's book "Become the Arrow". It's slanted toward traditional bows but the aiming method he teaches works even better for the compound. In fact, are you using a recurve or longbow or a compound?

Right now there are so many things that can be causing your problem that it's impossible to diagnose it over the net. Your bow may not be tuned properly. You may not be establishing a good anchor directly under your master eye. You don't say whether you are shooting with your fingers or mechanical release but, if fingers, you might not have the correct type of arrow rest on the bow. If fingers, you might have a problem with your release technique. You might not have the correct arrows for the bow.

How about listing all the particulars about your bow and arrows. What kind of bow? What draw weight and what draw length? How long are your arrows and what brand and size are they? Do you shoot fingers or do you use a release? What kind of rest is on the bow?

That's enough to get us to square one.

Taking your stuff to an archery shop and asking them for help might be your best option at this point.
