    For Christmas I got the Trophy Ridge React sight, so today I mounted it on my bow and began to sight it in. Out of the box, the 20 yard pin had me putting my first two arrows in the ground (luckily it was pretty frozen so I recovered them both). I lowered the entire housing until I was hitting where I needed to. However, the sight is now as low as I can go but I'm still shooting about an inch below bullseye. Any ideas why this might be? I thought it was a little strange I needed it so low in the first place.

    Anybody have this sight that could give me some pointers? Thanks in advance!

    Arrow rest or a low peep height.

    In the case of the rest, would it need to be lowered a hair? Peep sight lower too?

    Try lowering your rest first. Your pip sight was fine before you changed rest

    If you're shooting low you need to move the rest up.

    Try flipping the mounting bracket. Believe it will go both ways.

    I have to flip the mounting bracket on my React 5 for my Hoyt. I have a high anchor point and the sight housing ends up just over an inch above my arrow. Works great.

    Thanks for all the help guys. I moved the sight one mount towards me and that made all the difference in the world. Since I already had my left-right dialed in all I had to do was make two adjustments vertically and it was shooting perfectly. I love it.
