    So after setting up my new kingpin, I put the housing on the bottom bolts and whenever I slide it down to about 80 yards, my fletching seem like they will come in contact with my sight. I don't know if I set it up wrong or what but when I sighted in my 20, my number was all the way down to 32... I don't have a slow bow my any means, I'm shooting a halon 6 at 67lbs, around 290 fps. Has anyone else had this issue? What can I do to fix it?

    Sounds like an issue with peep placement. The height of your peep affects the placement of your sight.

    Yep you're right. I didn't even notice it, I closed my eyes and my peep was low, I need to raise it.

    Always start your fixing with the cheap things.

    Amazing how something so simple can mess everything up.

    Good catch mp.
