    I'd be shocked if you couldn't adjust each pin individually. I'd love to see a pic of several different angles of it. The basic sight that came on my old Bear even had individual pin adjustment.

    I'd make sure your FPs and BHs are the same. So if you are going to jump to 125 grain BHs, I'd pick up some 125 grain FPs as well. The BHs being left of FPs does show a stiff reaction so bumping up to 125 will help it.

    I asked about how long you had been shooting because I was wondering if there might be some form issues or torquing issue causing the problems.

    Hopefully we can figure this sight thing out once you get some pics up.

    I've never heard of a sight where you can't adjust an individual pin. If this is true, then it is the worst sight ever made. Throw it in the garbage and get a new sight.

    My guess is you can adjust each pin though.

    I just took some pics and they're uploading right now of the sight. It's a "top gun" sight by PSE. You were definitely right though it has individual sight adjusters on it and I never even knew it. I took pics of the sides and I saw the adjustable bolts.

    I don't know what grain the FPs are but from this point on I will definitely take a better look at what grain they are when buying and will try to match the FP grain with the broadhead grain.

    I had form issues up until a few months ago. I was getting too much palm in my bow until I saw a video on Youtube saying that could cause you to torque your bow. As of now I use the "imagine your hand pushing against a wall" approach and only let the grip of my bow set in between my pointer and thumb with the right of my hand relaxed.

    Hopefully we can figure this sight thing out once you get some pics up.[/QUOTE]

    They are being uploaded to Tinypic now. I'll upload them in a separate post in about 2 minutes. Thanks again.

    Yeah they have the single pin adjustments. I just found them while I was taking pics of the sight. Lol and I never knew it.

    I'm assuming this ^ is the individual sight adjustment bolts.

    Yes :tu:

    Adjusting those pins will solve a lot of the problem I believe. And bumping up to 125 should bring your FPs and BHs closer together at least horizontally. If you still have issues with them being apart vertically you'll need to move your nock point up or down, but don't make this adjustment until you are positive your FPs and BHS are the same weight.

    I have to go buy new arrows this week now anyway, and broadheads. I'll get my field tips measured at the bow shop and then buy broadheads accordingly. I just broke my last two arrows and now all three of my broadheads were broke.

    What is the most highly recommended broadhead target to use? Rhinehart?

    Also, you can vertically adjust each pin differently on mine but I don't see how to adjust them horizontally unless you adjust all three?

    You bow should hit the same horizontally every time if it is tuned correctly. You can not adjust them individually.

    At 40 yards I'm shooting way to the left. It caused me to lose 3 broadheads and a knoc today. 3 times I hit the target and was just a tad bit high. Just sometimes it's way to the left. I must be torquing my bow or something still somehow.

    Does anyone have any standing advice?

    The further you are shooting the imperfections of your form will start showing. It could also be that you bow needs tuned.

    You are off at further distances horizontally because you are not tuned. Read through the tuning guide I posted previously and you need to make sure you get the correct spine arrow for your set-up.
