    Looking for some advice. My arrows have started hitting lower than where I’m aiming. I recorded myself shooting and my form is fine, if anything my bow pops up just a bit when I release (tried to upload the video but it’s too big). I adjusted my sight housing down several times and checked my drop rest and they’re still hitting low. The only change was that I left town for a week. I was shooting fine before and now they’re off for some reason that I can’t figure out.

    Anybody have any ideas?

    Thank you

    Paper tune it. See if it's something with your arrow rest or d loop. Have you changed your release or anchor point?

    I switched to a more narrow arrow and finally realized why I was shooting low=because the arrow is sitting lower on the rest which is V shaped.

    Csubucs76 I haven’t changed either and I did get new arrows Longdraw but that was before this issue started, I’m going to my bow shop tomorrow to get it tweaked. I’m stuck wasting good hunting time until then!

    When you get it fixed let us know what it is. I like to store that in the troubleshooting bank for things to check for if you'e in a situation where ya can' make it to the shop

    So I took it my bow shop and both limbs are cracked. The bottom one was pretty bad and the top one was starting to crack. Happy ending though, my wife gave me an early Christmas present and I got a Pro Defiant! I think I’m gonna hang on to her for a while. My wife I mean. Bow too.

    It’s a Diamond Infinite Edge, Bowtech makes them. I had it for three years and shot it a lot before they cracked. Had I have registered it I could’ve had the limbs replaced, since I didn’t it would’ve cost $150 to have both replaced. I didn’t bother bc it cost $300 to begin with.
