Low Sights/Shooting Low

[riverkid21]

Hey All - I'm new to the bowhunting scene, but excited as ever to get out there this fall. I had a question about the sight on my bow. It started out shooting rather low, so I moved the sight down, and at this point it is down nearly all the way it can go. The bow still shoots about 4 inches low at 20 yards. It is dead center in terms of left/right, but just shoots a little low.

I was wondering if there was anything I could do. I tried to take the sight off and attach at a lower angle, but that isn't really possible as far as I could tell. I can probably move it down a touch more, but not much at all.

Is it common for the sight to be that far down? Any help would be great! I'd rather not bring it in, especially if it's something I can do myself.

Thanks!

sounds like your arrow rest needs to be adjusted, not your sights

Yup move your arrow rest up or the rest itself, depends on what kind of rest you have of course. Take a picture of your set up looking down the arrow shaft and from a side shot that might give everyone and idea what you're dealing with?

If it's not the rest also try anchoring lower on your face the higher you hold the knock point to your face the lower the bow shoots. If you shoot a drop away rest make sure it is coming all the way up at full draw.

move your peep up. dont start messing with the rest that is last resort.

Make sure that when your rest is up like it would be at full draw that the arrow is centered with the berger hole. If its not then the rest needs to be moved up. Also, make sure if its a drop away that it is coming all the way up at full draw. I would check this before I started doing anything with your peep.

Like bottom-bouncer said, move your peep up a little. A half inch makes a noticeable difference.
