Aiming low is a band-aid that is not going to fix the problem. Focus on a hair and cut it.

I can't help but notice that you practice with field points. Personally - and I mean completely IMHO - I don't care who says it, my muzzy 100gr. shoot different than my 100gr. field points . Come August, I resight my bow to my broadheads (from off season field points).

I am admittedly a newbie, but my bow shoots the same at 20 yds as it does at 10 yds. Maybe you need to move your pins to 10, 20, 30; or 15, 25, 35... depending on your setup. I would love to hear some feedback from others. I always like to know when I'm off my rocker - and love learning new stuff.

I honestly can say I shot over(the backs of)9 deer last season - my first season bowhunting (from December to Jan). - loser. This year I've got three so far - two does and an eight point. I'vesettled down quite a bit, and am following through much better under pressure. I've also set up a 15' ladder stand behind the house to practice my shooting and sight in at hunting height - that has made the biggest difference in the world. I had to move my sight up almost 1/4" from where it was for ground shooting. Try to practice like you'll play - and like someone else added - if youhunt with a mask, or whatever else you wear, practice with one on. Hope this is of some use. See you around town.
