Sighting In a Compound Bow - Questions
Posted on 9/26/14 at 8:16 am
Posted on 9/26/14 at 8:16 am
When sighting in my bow at 30 yards at a bag target on the ground we were able to get it pretty much right on after a few days. I then elevated the bag about 2 feet off the ground and I was shooting about 3" high. I climb up in a stand and a 30yrd shot Im consistently about 3" high. I put the bag back on the ground and Im right on again. It's the same on my 20 yard pin and my 40 yard pin. What's the deal with this?

You are bending your arms and not bending at the waist to compensate for the angles.. You are changing your anchor points without realizing it

I figured it was probably myself. Im still working on getting as consistent as possible. I guess Im consistently messing up

Just remember. Always bend at the waist and always wear a harness/lifeline in a tree.
if you keep that t shape you'll shoot fine

So youre saying Im tweaking my back arm up a little (anchor arm) to compensate and give me the correct trajectory downward when I should be on an even plane and slightly tweak at the waist?

This will somewhat explain what is happening (even though its an advertisement for a product)
