Default What now????

I have gotten my bow to paper tune pretty well with Gold tip 5575's. My bow is set at 65lbs, with a 28" arrow and 100gr points. Problem now is that I tried shooting this thing, and I dont have enough adjustment in my sight to bring the arrows down. I am about 2-3 inches above bulls eye. My nocking point is set at 1/8". I still have a slight high tear.

What should I do now?

sounds like the spring tension on your rest is too stiff.

I had the same problem with the matrix sight. My peep was to low.

Sounds like an anchor problem

I assume you mean that you are 2-3" high at 20yds. Move you peep down about 1/8", see if this gets you there without having to change your anchor point.
And don`t worry about a slight paper tear at close range.(6-8') If you are grouping good, that is all that is important. I know I will get conflicting theorys here...if my bow shoots a bullethole @ 6', I tune it out. I always like a slight tear up and away @ 6'. As long as you are bullet holing @ 10-12yds., you should group fine.
