I'm at a loss.
I did what everyone told me,I'm using my top sight for the shortest range shots,and lowest sight for longest range,
I'm hitting at or near the bulls eye at ten yards,However!,My 20 yard sight had to be moved way up,And in order to get it hitting anywhere near the bulls eye,I had to move it up above the 10 yard sight.
Does that make any sense?
Oh and the 30 yard sight is still way too low,It will be just below the 10 yard sight next time I adjust it.What's going on?Do I have some kind of backwards sight or something?[&o]

Just curious but are you anchoring the same all the time.If you anchor at the corner of your mouth then the next shot at the jaw bone it will make a big difference where the arrow will land.

No. Nothing wrong with your sight. That's just how your anchor and setup has the trajectory going. Forget the 10 yard pin. You do not need it and it's just confusing you in the bargain. Set the 20 as your shortest distance, then learn where to hold the 20 pin to hit the closer distances.

My first pin is 20, then 30, 40, 50. When I do my form shooting at 5-8 feet from the target, I use my 50 yards pin.

RE: I'm at a loss.Well.
Wic have you paper tuned your bow?? If your arrow is hitting the rest or shelf or something, it could account for your erricate pins. Put some lip stick on the rest and then shoot the arrow. If you have lipstick on the fletchings than you have contact which you don't really want..

RE: I'm at a loss.Well.
I expect a bit of contact,I'm using this round rest,I think it's called a whisker bisquet.lol,If they only knew what that meant in southern terms.lol.
But I can't use the other rest,They just don't feel right to me.
