Move your sight towards your "group".

Sights are adjustable for a reason. Move it. It should have nothing to do with your ability to shoot.

Like Jeff said...chase your group. If you're shooting 2" right, move the sight/pin right, and so on.

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

Matt, like the others have said, move it towards the point of impact. Also just PM me that guys email on here.

This joke is only funny IF the guy didnt already know this, granted he sounds like he needs to spend some more time on here, but that seems like commen scence.

As long as we're being picky it's "common sense". And please read this with a touch of humor.

Yep, just because of one post, it means he needs to spend more time on here.

Also, if you're going to TRY to make a diss on someone, I'd try to spell it right. I don't know though, that's just me.
