i've been shootin' low a lot ( like 4inch) and can't figure out why...when i adjust my sights i'm way off so i put them back and do really good but then one or two shoot low...i thought it was my peep but now i don't think so...i'm starting to think that it's human error....any advice??

I am not the most knowledgable person in the mechanics of a bow...that being said most anytime i am shooting low it is my fault. dropping bow to watch arrow stupid poop like that.

Sounds like "operator error" is this after you have been shooting a while and are possibly tired? Thats what happens to me when I'm shootin too much.

You could be jerking your hand when you shoot. I found that out the other day, I was jerking and everthing was going off dramatically then I stopped moving my hand and now im dead on. Try it.

Sounds like you are dropping your arm.

I would double check everything and make sure it is tight before I start looking at myself as the problem.Spring in rest worn or lose?Start with the bow and start deleting things that can be the problem.If everything on the bow checks out OK then you need to start watching what you are doing.I have found that video taping me shooting can help out a lot.Set it up looking at you from the side so you can see both yourself and the bow.This is the easiest way to see if you are dropping your arm or bow as you release,as well as if you are anticipating the shot.Make sure when you miss bad like that you say something so you know what shots to watch.
Hope this can help you out some.

I agree, it sounds like you may be dropping your bow arm. Especially if you adjust your sights, hit good, then begin to shoot low again. I have the same type problems sometimes with shooting to the right. I torque the bow, shoot right, adjust the sight, shoot dead on, then begin shooting right again.
