Default Sights help

Thanks again to everyone on my last post for help. Now I am having problems with my sights. I installed a set of TruGlo sights on thebow and to get a shot within a 4inch radious of the bullseye I have to have the whole set-up all the way down and also the sight pin itself allthe way down to the bottom. This is at 15-25 yds. I started at 15yds and this is the only way I get within inches, then moved back to 25yds and getting in the same area using the same pin. Any idea on what to do would be great as I have no idea since I can not set the sights any lower. I had a new string, knocks and peep hole put on yesterday so maybe the knocks need adjusted? Here are a few pics of the setup, I can get more if needed. Thank you,
Brandon

Try moving your peep sight up.

Draw your bow with your eyes closed, settle into your anchor point, then open your eyes; you should be looking right through the peep. If not, move it. If so, leave it. Check that your arrow is not nock high on the string. If it is, move it down to level with the rest. It sounds like your nock set is too high and your peep is out of adjustment.

The sights might have a side bracket screw / knob/ that you can loosen that would allow wide range up / down travel of the entire sight picture. If it does then try moving it up. Then tighten the screw back up and try shooting and adjusting the sight pins.

He is shooting low and already has everything moved as far down as possible.

Thanks to both of you. I drew back w/ my eyes closed as said and got into position and when I opened my eyes I was about an inch above the peep hole. I'll take it to the shop tomorrow after work and have it adjusted. thanks again.
