Default site blocked by riser

On my bow (PSE Stingray, Trophy Ridge Mantis pendulum site) my site window is partially blocked by the bow riser. Is there any suggestions on how to eliminate the site window blocking, or is this normal?

So how is being blocked? Is the sight too far off on the horizontal or is it too high?

If it's behind the riser in the horizontal plane then you probably need to move your rest away from the sight window. It depends on your bow tuning. Have you tuned the bow (paper, walkback, etc)?

If it's too high then you most likely need to raise your anchor point, moving the peep and/or kisser button down the string accordingly.

It sounds to me like your rest is out of allignment and to close to the riser. I agree with the above post, have the bow tuned.

Do you have a peep on the string ( looking on the inside of your string ), your rest is to far in and some times your hand placement came do this too. go to a pro shop and have them look at it they will help you
