Help with Hoyt bow
I received a new Hoyt bow for Christmas last year. Not sure the model but I can get that should I need to. Anyway I' ve been shooting almost everyday with it but lately my arrows have been hitting low. I' m shooting from the same spot, distance, pin, and everything. I dont know what bad habbit i' ve picked up or what I' m doing wrong. Sorry if this is hard to follow but can anyone help me?

RE: Help with Hoyt bow
If it' s a dual cam bow and the string creeped(stretched), it should creep equally and not cause not movement.
If it' s a single cam bow, and the string creeped, the nock should have dropped, not rised. There is more string above the nock than below the nock and when creeping(stretching) the nock will drop.
You could check nock movement if your serving or nockset wasn' t tight. Also check center shot. If you have a recommened local pro shop, it might not hurt to give them a visit.
Check your rest for tightness, over the years, I' ve seen rests drop, prongs move etc...
Curious to why you don' t know the make/model of your Hoyt...single cam, dual cam...?

Might be prong wear.It could also be that your peep moved or string stretched.The sights could have moved,also.
It is most likely prong wear if you have some kind of heat shrink on the prongs.
It may just be the shooter.
