    With the sight off your bow, I put it level on the door frame (since they are going to be pretty close to level) then tilt it up at a 45 degree angle and look where the bubble is and adjust it accordingly. Then I tilt it down at a 45 degree angle and adjust if it is still off. Not sure if I explained this well but I could probably do better with pictures

    Ok. Last night I I though i had it set right. Did a French tune & was splitting the string at 3 & 10yrds. This morning I check it at 40 & it still shoots the right about 4", height is perfect just to the right. Pull up to 20, dead on, back out to 40 to the right. I thought I may be torquing the bow but I don't think I am. At 40 when I shoot I'm standing in the doorway of my shop & brace myself against the door & my tool box. Super steady that way for checking the sight. I guess I'm gonna just take it back to the shop when k get time. This is driving me crazy!!!!

    It's about 1.5"-2" at 30. Set my bow in a vise & leveled the bow, with the bow level the bubble in the sight also says level. But as you move the sight down to shoot farther the arrow start walking to the right.

    I think I got it. Set ever then back up. Put bow back in vice check level in several spots & the 2nd axis was still off. Adjusted housing till it was level with the bow. Check the French tune. Splitting string still. Shot 40 & 20. ImageUploadedByBowhunting.com Forums1455815088.796608.jpg ImageUploadedByBowhunting.com Forums1455815099.299303.jpg
