Where should we move the sight when the arrow is dropping low?
If your arrows group to the left, move your sight to the left. If your arrows hit to the right, move your sight to the right. If your arrows hit high, move your sight up. If your arrows hit low, move your sight down.
Why are my arrows hitting low?
There are a few reasons why your shots might be consistently low. Most commonly, your shooting gear might be out of tune. Your shooting form or shot sequence might be off, or the environment can cause low arrows. These reasons might cause your shot to be consistently off, and can deflect your arrows downwards.
Which way do you move arrow sights?
If your arrows group to the left, move your sight to the left. If your arrows hit to the right, move your sight to the right. To remember which way to move your sight, imagine adjusting it until it covers your group. Make small adjustments until you get a feel for how far to move the sight.
Why am I shooting right with my bow?
If your bow or sight goes out of tune, it can easily cause your arrows to fly off to the side. For example, if your sight moves even a little left, it’ll cause you to move your bow to the right, causing your arrows to always land right. Some tuning issues in the bow can cause a similar effect.
What causes you to shoot high with a bow?
When you shoot your bow on level ground, the arrow is actually pointing slightly upward on the rest. When you release the string, it archers up, crosses your line of sight and then drops back down to the target. If you are using the same bow you sighted-in on the ground, you will shoot high.
Should I move my arrow rest?
Unlike sighting in your bow (when you chase the arrow with your sight’s pin), walk back tuning requires that your arrow rest be moved in the direction you want the arrow to go. Pretty soon all of your arrows should impact the vertical line on the T from top to bottom. Remember, use only your top pin for all shots.
How far is the average bow shot?
As the average bow hunting shot for whitetail is approximately 20 yards practice to hit a 6 inch circle at 40 yards. You may not be able to hit the six inch spot every time from 40 yards but you will not believe how easy a shot that presents itself at 20 yards or less when hunting will seem.
