Sight topped out and still missing high

[zurr4013]

I shoot a Trophyridge React 1 for the last several years. I had the shop put on a drop rest and we picked out new arrows and i was shooting bullets in paper. Bring it all home and missing 6 inches high at 20 yards with the sight topped out.

Ideas for what is needed:
peep location change?
Draw length adjustment?
Lower pounds on bow?

I’m lost since I am shooting great groups just high. Help?!

Maybe lower rest and nock point a bit?

Assuming the shop setup and tuned the bow properly this time, I would never move those settings just to work with the sight. I have had older sights that I moved to a new bow that didn't have enough adjustment range to deal with the faster bow speed, but that is not common. You indicated you have used this bow and site together before, so it may have been improperly setup before and allowed it to work. Check back with the pro shop before tweaking it.

Give us a picture of the sight on riser like this:



then give us a picture of the arrow on the rest like this(note - if you have a drop away, put it in the “up” position for picture):

I worried if I lower the rest then I will have to lower the nock point and start over but if that is what it takes

 

[zurr4013]

When I tried to lower the peep I felt really uncomfortable with my anchoring points.

So they set it up, but didn't give a chance to sight in a pin at 15-20yrds?? Just asking.

Where is your berger hole? Looks like the arrow would go above it. When i was setting up bows I always started level through the berger hole for dual cams, or slightly nock high for single cams. Then I'd set the inside of the arrow through the center of the limb bolts. That was usually quite close to correct. You look like maybe you're above the hole a good bit, but it's hard to judge since it's covered.

Some rests can be flipped, but it usually isn't necessary. Usually, when i had customers who bottomed out adjustments, it was because they had a goofy anchor point. Pics of that might help too.

thats really weird. at least you have some time to figure it out...Can you change the bolt position attaching the sight to the bow? i think this would help alot. how far away was the paper you were shooting bullet holes through? did you have bare shafts?

I wouldnt change the peep location if it seems right. that needs to be set perfect so you have a comfortable and repeatable anchor.

 

[Nutterbuster]

If you're confident in the setup and your anchor, flip that bad boy and call it a day.

 

[PEEJAY]

that rest seems up pretty high... lower your peep, the rest, and the nock point? that would give you the same anchor. i dont know how much that would help but i would say something is wayyy off to be shooting that high at 20 yds.

 

[zurr4013]

i have lots of room to lower the rest but then I would need to lower the d loop too match correct?

 

[zurr4013]

I took the peep out for now until I get the other stuff right. When I do a comfortable anchor and nose button I can shoot right groups but still high. I will lower the d loop and the rest to see if that brings it down then add a peep back in at the comfort spot.

does that sound logical?

Take the whole setup back to the shop unless you are comfortable tuning the bow yourself.
If you move the rest and d loop you are definitely going to have to tune it again.

What's the model of the sight?

 

[cedar paul]

As discussed anchor point,nocking point,arrow rest position or a timing issue.

 

[kyler1945]

I'm not so sure it's an actual "issue" with the bow, rest, or tuning yet.

Slow down a scooch.

If the arrow is mostly covering the berger hole, your nock point location with it shooting good through paper shouldn't have that much of an impact on sight capabilities. It MIGHT be the problem, but it would have to be way too high to definitely be the problem.

Let's get to the sight model, and make sure you're not needing to adjust the sight to fix it.

 

[kyler1945]

That sight has 3 holes to move the scope closer and further away from the riser. It also has three holes on a diagonal to move the whole sight up and down relative to the mounting holes on the riser. Moving the sight in and out, and up and down relative to the mounting holes in riser will affect POI.

You'll need to make sure you utilize those adjustments. If you still can't get there, then let's talk bow adjustments.

Trophy Ridge React One. Maybe I’m missing them but I don’t see a place for up and down adjustments. I added the picture above if someone sees what I’m missing.
Been using the sight for 4 years now.

 

[kyler1945]

See the three(6 in two sets of three really) holes on a diagonal - they move the sight housing up and down relative to mounting holes on riser.

are you maxed out there? Or can you move the sight “up” relative to riser more?

and which set of holes is the sight mounted to the bow through(my other two red circles)? Is it closest to riser, middle, or furthest?

and finally, how many holes do you have on your riser to mount a sight? Just two? Or are there options?
