Peep, rest or sight. I've had it happen to each of these at one time or another.

I have marks on my sight bars. I put dots of white paint (whiteout) on my sight bars. After it's sighted in, I make marks with a fine tip marker. If the marks are all lined up, the sight hasn't moved. It's easy to check.

I still shoot every week to make sure nothing else has change. (rest, nocking point)

I use a Hindsight so I don't have to worry about the peep moving.

I did the exact same thing when I use to shoot a compound. Works slick!!

I had the same problem, but mine was the mounting bracket was loose. Dont know how that happened, but was hauling bow up to stand and it caught on the step and I saw it cock eyed. I keep a set of allen wrenches and etch where I have my settings, so I just tightened it up on the mark.

Im so frustrated with my Muzzy's. Im shooting low and left by 4-6 inches. Im dead nuts with my rages and NAP's, and field points...but Muzzy's are going to end up having dust on them by next season. I dont know if my fletchings are offset to cause it, but regardless I am not shootingthem anymore. I have had to adjust my sight just for them and that is a no no in my book, especially when I have two other brands that fly like FP's

I remember a few years ago I shot at a doe at sun-up and shot directly below her at only 10 yards. I was so ticked. After the hunt I went home and shot my bow. I was shooting way low...my peep sight was loose. That is one of the main reasons I haven't used a peep sight for 3 seasons.

Mine moved after I dropped my bow from the stand about a month ago[:@].

Huck moved your sight before he left since you didn't put him on a buck.

Did the peep sight move? If you use a peep.
I actually paint the string and peepwith whiteout where the peep is tied in. Surefire way to make sure it is where it should be.

I'm betting $1,000,000.00 this isn't a true statement.[8D]
