I bought a new switchback a couple of days ago. The "pro" measured me and installed a peep sight and nocking point. I went home and mounted my pse F-22 site and whisker bisquit on the bow and went to the range to try and site in. Every shot I took hit well before the target at only 20 yards. I lowered my top pin to its absolute lowest position and it still hit the dirt.Can a peep site be that far out of wack? I put my old bow over the new one and the only difference as far as attachment screws for the site, rest, etc. was the peep site location.

It may be your nocking point.... Did you install your whisker bisquit yourself?

RE: Need Help
 

I did install the whisker bisquet myself and measured the angle with an arrow when set in the nock at 90 degrees. to the string

RE: Need Help
 

Are you for sure that you installed the whisker bisquit correct and the sights? Before i had my whisker bisquit installed correctly my arrows wasnt grooping good and it ate them up..

Wheres your anchor?

RE: Need Help
 

Yes the peep can be off, you can also lower the site body. It does sound like you could be anchoring way to high on your face. I see that you are new her so please excuse me if I'm asking question that seem elementry. Start doing some research on a good anchor, time to become your own pro shop.

Close your eyes, draw the bow to your normal anchor. Open your eyes. You should be looking straight through the peep. If you're not, the peep is not in the right spot for you. I suspect the peep will be an inch or more under your eye when you do that test.

Thanks for the responses. I have bben achoring the same way for the 2 years now that I have been shooting. wen holding my release the "v" made by my index finger and thumb fit on either side of my chin and jawbone. I stopped using the sight this weekend and could shoot some decent groups at 20 yards. I just went out and did the eyes closed thing and as suspected when I opened them the peep was about an inch too low.

RE: Need Help
 

My form puts my peep very low compared to just about every other archer I know. Maybe it's bad form, but it's the way I shoot comfortably. That being said, I normally have to run the sight all the way down to it's lowest adjustment before I can get on target. The lower the peep, the lower the sight will have to be. I should try to learn to raise my peep a bit, but it never feels comfortable to me. But I think the other guys nailed the problems for you, and with a simple peep adjustment, you should be doing fine.

Can I undue the serving and move the peep without a press?

RE: Need Help
 

You should be able to just slide the serving and peep down or up the string (depending on how tight the serving is). Just hold it tight and force it the way you want to go. If you are using a peep that is held on with two budles of string, the peep is going to rotate as you manuver it up or down. Make the move needed to have the open eye = on the money effect and then deal with the peeps rotation afterwards. That's another ball of wax.

If your peep is held into position with 3 or 4 bundles of string then you should be OK, Make the move and you will find out. (you can always move it back;))

RE: Need Help
 

Yes and no. You should not need to undue the serving to move a peep. It should be way higher than that. Now if the peep is held in place by serving thread than that is easy. Most times you do not even need to undue the thread. Just wax up the string and push the top thread up, move the peep and then push up the thread below the peep. Keep doing this until you find the correct spot. If the peep doesn't line up at full draw, just twist the string a bit or twist your D-Loop to align the peep to your eye at full draw.
