    Hey Guys me again, Just a quick question kinda. so when i originally sighted in my bow I was on a slight downward angle to the target got everything sighted in and then i shot this weekend and how the land happened to be it was a slight upward angle i started to hit high and i didn't make any adjustments woke up the next day. shot it again i was dead on but a little left moved the sight a hair and it fixed it. Now I've been shooting a bow for almost 12 years now, so i know my form and everything was consistent i might have punched the trigger a bit the first day but would the incline/Decline change where my arrows will hit after i sighted it in( this is no treestand incline or decline i was on flat ground the land just slopes here in minnesota its hard to find somewhere level.)? Also still having issues with my broad heads not hitting right. my bow is properly paper tuned, and i know that doesn't mean everything its just a start but what should i do next ?

    Broadhead tune, there are some videos on YouTube if you don't know how, it worked well for me in the past.

    I wouldn't think that a degree or two would change much at closer distances but your stance at a couple degrees different might. as in left foot higher up than right or opposite.

    There's only 2 main factors than can change poi dramatically, your bow....and u. 99.9% of the time, it's u. If the equipments tuned and not abused then it's almost always the same.

    When mounting sight did you cover all of your axis adjustments

    Yeah just wondering really like said before it's kinda hard to diagnose without seeing it. I know my sight was way off on high and low angle but dead on when level. I adjust for all axis's and it went away
