    ok I seem to be having a very weird problem. when I shoot I am consistently shooting about 2" below my target.. I am shooting at 20 yards, I can group 4 arrows all within 1/2" of each other but always low. I move my 20 yard pin down and it still is low. I have dropped my pin down many times and nothing changes. What could it be? please help it driving me crazy!

    What your saying, LITTERALY CAN NOT BE HAPPENING. You just need to move your pin down untill your hitting the bullseye, plain and simple.

    How do you aquire your target; do you come up from the bottom, down from the top? My guess would be that you come up from the bottom on to the target and are suffering from target panic.

    Anchor point is inconsistent, or your string loop maybe slipping up or down on your string.

    If your always shooting low after resighting IMO you are not following thru and trying to see where your hitting or you have target panic.

    Archery is a mental game. I say that all the time because it's true!! I don't know how you aquire your sight picture, but it might help if you settle above your spot and lower into the sight picture, instead of coming up from under or fighting to sit your pin on that tiny spot. Concentrate on the target and not so much on the pin. Have a consistent anchor and squeeze the trigger.
