are you sure it's opposite of rifle sights? quick google search on iron sights.

If your shot is below (needs to be higher) your target using both sights facing directly at your target, the rear sight should be moved higher or your front sight should be moved lower. Always remember: Move the rear sight in the same direction you want your point of impact to move & your front sight the opposite direction you want POI to move.

anyways it's all the way down right now. unless I'm dumb.

 

Could just be me but the D looks a little high.

 

Did you have the peep sight tied in to fit you or is that where it was for the previous owner?

 

everything is setup as the previous owner had it. and he just restrung and retuned before 2019 hunting season.

 

Sure does!!! I think he should have a pro shop set everything to fit him.

 

@JDAM ^^^^ my last post.

 

the peep should be at a comfortable point for YOU at full draw... If you are streatching your neck up you are too high down you are too low,

roger that. feels comfy to me though. I had the draw length adjusted to be comfortable to me. I guess that's the only thing that changed since I bought it.

Now if the D loop is high wouldn't lowering it cause it to shoot even lower?

sorry if I'm derailing this thread whilst people are hunting. There is a good shop I can go to about 30 minutes away.

 

Well the d loop should be centered on the arrow rest mounting holes. Like in the begining of the video i posted.

Your sight height needs to come down to raise your arrow.

 

If you are hitting above the intended spot, move the sight body up. Move it down if you are hitting below your intended spot. If you are hitting to the left of the spot, move the sight body to the left. Move it to the right if you are hitting to the right of the spot.

 

ya that's the problem. I'm hitting low and the site body won't go any lower. it's maxed out in that direction.

 

Can you adjust the pins individually?

 

Knowing you and I are about the same height, you should have zero problems getting the sight low enough. It just needs to be setup. It definitely appears out of whack

 

Where are you anchoring at full draw? Perhaps a kisser button an 1" to 1-1/4" above the D loop.

 

only the lower four pins move

ya I guess another trip to The Nock Point is in order. It's not hitting all that low though. I just aim a few inches high and hit my bullseye at 20. I have to clear some brush to set up a longer range.

thanks for the help all. I'll get it figured out.

 

The way you have it now its on the high side...

 

That's not the problem. You shouldn't have to have the sight that low to shoot 20 yards. That bow should be good out to 100. There's no way you could shoot that with the sight where it is

 

How many pins is it? 4 or 5?

 

If your pins aren’t bottomed out try lowering your pins which should raise your point of impact.

 

I may be wrong here (I usually am) but I'm with @six5crèéd , if you lower the d loop, it lowers the back (nock end) of your arrow...which should raise the front (broadhead end) of your arrow. So basically, take it to a shop.
