I am having a hard time after I draw my bow back raising the pin to the target. I have tried drawing back high and dropping down to the target, but this does not work either it seams like my comfort spot is 10-12 inches below the target when i am holding the arrow back. I am open to any suggestions it is like this when I am on flat ground and up in the tree I have a stand set up that I practice from. It is also this way if it is the first or the last arrow that I shoot out of 30 shots.

Thanks

What's your draw weight and length? May want to think about dropping both.

Sounds like the bow isn't fitted to you correctly.

You need to o to a be shop and hav them adjust it accordingly.

The draw weight may be too much also.

Your draw weight is too much or the length is too much or something. You should be able to aim almost straight up, almost straight down, and everywhere in between.

What kind of bow? With technology today, you shouldn't have to fight it. Reduce the pull weight, or arrow weight, and keep speed..etc.

Do all the things everyone is telling you, then when you draw already have your pin on the target as you draw

Have you had trouble shooting it the whole time you've had it or is this something new?
