Default Arrow flight and sight?

I was out setting up my new sights and arrow rest yesterday(trophy ridge and MZE) and noticed that after I adjusted my sight for 10yds my arrow hit exactly the same at 20yds. I have never seen this before this is the first year Ive shot carbons and a drop away rest. There was not a whole lot of difference at the 30yd mark either will move back to 40yds today to see what happens.
Is this normal or could it just be somthing im doing?
Could there be that big of a difference between the carbons and my old 2315' s and the MZE?
Any replys would be helpful. thanks

Yes, Mike, there is probably alot of difference. Almost all carbon arrows weigh less than any aluminum arrow. You' ve probably picked up quite a bit of speed. I know when I shot gold tips for awhile, I could put alot more pins on my site bracket. I was shooting fairly slow heavy arrows and could only fit 5 pins on my bracket. 20-60 yards. When I put started shooting the gold tips, I had enough room on my bracket for 3 more pins, but only put on 2 more. When you start shooting at 80 yards consistently, you' d be amazed how easy a 20-30 yard shot seems. LOL

That bow won' t shoot that flat

I will guess that your sight is moving on you - That TR did the same for me the entire 30 mins I left it on my bow
