No doubt that lowering the anchor point would solve the problem, but I also doubt you have to go that low. It depends on the face structure of each person as to what will work. Where ever you end up, it has to be a solid anchor that is easily repeatable.

Sorry had problems logging on last night. Tfox my site is bottomed out. It was setup that way when I bought the bow.

Do you guys think my form changed from taking two seasons off? I'll record my actions and see exactly where I'm achoring. I believe I achor with my index fingers first nuckle the bottom of my ear lobe.

Thanks for tring to help.

I've had the problem before and it was my peep sight was to low on the string. I just raised my rest this past weekend and it totally raised my sight up. Keep in mind your nock point will need to be raised too. But I bet that changes your sight so you can make room for your 40 yard pin.

So I went to the place I bought the bow about 5 years ago. The guy checks my draw weight and states the string might have stretched. It was 55lbs and he took it up to 61lbs. I got home shot it and hardly any difference at all.

So it sounds like the peep or my knock and a new shop! He also said "I would never shoot 40yds with alumium arrows". Why not? I had carbon and went back to alumium. Heading down to another shop shortly.

Sounds like a completely ignorant doofus to whom I wouldn't take a darn thing of mine to get worked on, nor buy anything from.

Just got back from another shop. Closed at 5pm. Wtf. Looks like I'm going to make a 1+hr trip to the best shop in the state. They cater to the working man. M-F opens 12noon til 9pm! If I walk away disgusted from this place my bowhuning days a numbered!

If your index finger is at the bottom of your ear lobe then you are anchoring high on your face. Anchor your index finger on your jaw bone and you will have all the room you need for longer distance pins plus you will have a lot solider and more repeatable anchor point than what you are now using.

I tried achoring under the jaw bone just to see what happens. The bow was aimed at the sky! My bow string comes right to the corner of my mouth.

If I kew how do do the work I'd just do it myself.

When you lower your anchor point you need to raise your peep and your sight. When the guy put twists in your string to raise the draw weight he could have lowered the peep even more.

Raise the peep and the sight with the lower anchor point.

I'd take it to a different shop. Have the guy look at your shooting form and anchor and all and make sure the peep is correctly aligned. I guess make sure the nock is at the right place and the rest is correctly adjusted. Even make sure the bow is in completely in tune and the cam(s?) are timed (and synchronized) if you want.
