Hi As I said in my other post I picked up a brand new Patroit VFT today and it looks great. I had them install a Ultra rest. I didn't have my sight ( a Spot Hogg Real Deal) with me when I picked it up. I had to wait untill I got home to set things up That's when the problems started.

I was hitting about 18" low on my 1st shot at around 10 yards and After adjusting the sight as far as it will go I am still about 6 inches low. I tried lowering the rest and If I go any lower I strikes the shelf when It drops. I could go back to the shop where I picked it up BUT they get extremely crowed after work and on Saturdays. You will play heck getting waited on. And when you are waited on it's a rush job to get you out of there. I'd like to fix it myself if that's possible. Any will be appreciated Thanks

My initial impression is that your peep is to low and your anchor too high.......but why if you are hitting low would you LOWER the rest?
To start, get the arrow even with both rest mounting holes (hide the holes behind but parallel to the holes), then set your nock pt about 1/8" above square to start.
Do this and I have a feeling unless something is really screwy with your peep/anchor it will work itself out rather quickly.

This is interesting. I have a Bowtech Liberty and fitted a Spot Hogg Hunter sight. Had exactly (sort of) the same problem. I was hitting low. So, adjusted the sight down to the maximum - still hitting low. I then undid the bolts on the circular viewfinder and moved that as low as it could go - it looks a bit un-natural, but at least I'm hitting dead on now. If you've adjusted it to the max, an anchor point shift is pretty much the only sure thing that will help. I experimented with this and as you move your peep it has a huge impact on where you shoot - but I was anchoring really comfortably and didn't want to move.

It also got me thinking - you can move the sight back (closer to the riser) a bit. Surely, moving the mounting points on the sight back will help as well? I never tried this myself since I had the sight set up for the third axis etc and was a bit scared to experiment. Perhaps some old hands will advise....

I put the Real Deal on my Patriot Dually and had the exact same trouble as you're having now .But as Matt say's your peep could be the problem ,that's what my problem was, once I lowered my peep I was able to re-adjust my sight and got it back up to where it was supposed to be in the first place.

I took some of Matt/PAs advise (thanks Matt) and seem to be getting things under controll. I moved my rear peep up and it seems to have taken care of the problem. I shoot a 30 inch Draw length and my last bow a Mathews Q2XL was too short. (another story) This made me have to hold it at full draw kinda funky. Now that I have a bow that fits I have to readjust. I also have to get used to the speed, man this thing really shoots!
