Give us your specs, draw length, arrow length, draw weight, arrow weight. If yorue getting erradic arrow flight this can be caused by a few different things. But yorue on the right trrack with adjust the sight, just make little incriments at a time untill you geti gighter, although 2 inches isnt too bad all. remember arrows are expensive.

Moving your sight will not effect your arrow flight, only your point of impact.

If you never know where the arrow is going then you don't need to adjust the sight. All long as your hitting the target and not throwing arrows in the dirt you need to figure out why you are having fliers. Things to check proper draw length and weight, arrow spine for your setup, are you gripping the bow the same every time and not torquing it, using the same anchor point, fletching contact and after that a proper tune then move you sights to adjust for point of impact.

As you change one thing at a time you may need to adjust your sights to keep you in the area of the target so you don't loose any arrows.

There are probably other things that can cause the problem but this is where I usually start

you should be fine if you just move the sight towards the ground like 1/8" at a time until you are getting bullseyes

And now I have to clean my wife's laptop, since I just spit Mt. Dew all over it (it was either her laptop getting the bath, or mine).
