Update on my struggle..
 
Ok, well, I had the cams checked to see if they were timed right, and they were. I had new serving put on the string to solve my d loop issue, I had them level my arrow on the rest, it was pointing down when I knockedthem. So it almost sits completely level, it's like 2 cinmemeters off from being level, but it shoots a bullet holethrough the paper. I had my peep moved and my kisser installed again, all bolts and screws were waxed and tightened. So everything is tight, tuned and on point. Now I will attempt to shoot it and sight it in tomorrow from a tree stand. I will let yall know what happens and hopefully I will write it with a smile!! Thanks to all those who gave me advice I will use it all tomorrow on the range and try to clear my head.

thanks guys, you guys helped me in this process more than you will ever know, I hope I can get it straight. I just needed to know if it was me or the bow. If it is me I can work on things!!!

Thanks bloodcreek. I just got back from shooting from the new 18 ft ladder stand we got. I decided to wait until we got that up to really dial in my bow. I found myself a little shaky at first, always like this when I have not been in a tree for a while. well I took about 6 shots at 20 yds and was within 2" of the buulls eye everytime. Then I relaxed made some adjustments and hit bulls eye the next shot. I shot a few times at the block and hit pretty well, I tried to focus and look at the target like yall said and shoot, it worked. Im not saying it's perfect, but Im ok with it today. I then turned the block to the deer vitals and at 10, 15, 20 yds was grouping very well. I wanted to stay at short distances for a while to build up my confidence. I rarely shoot over 25 yds anyhow, so after I shoot a little more I will back up some... baby steps for me, baby steps....;) I don't know why, but Im not good ar shooting dots, always better at deer vitals, is that strange???

Nope!! Allot of people can drill the 5 spots but can't hit a deer to save there you know what!! I quit shooting at targets with rings on them. Its not a numbers game. I practice on a regular deer target or sometimes just a piece of Styrofoam and just pick out little areas the size of a quarter and shoot. It works well for me anyway.

Yeh Schultzy I the same way, put a deer target in front of me and will hit the vitals every shot, now I may not hit the center of those vitals everytime, but I will hit the vitals everytime at least out to about 23 yds, then I start dropping my bow down before the arrow hits, this I need to work on!!!
