    So a couple of weeks ago I went and got a new D loop put on and got my peep aligned. I had to adjust my entire sight just a little but I got it to where I wanted at 20 yards. Before the adjustment I was able to use my first pin out to 27 yards, im noticing now that I am hitting about 1-2 inches low around 25-26 yards. I also noticed that I am grouping about that low at distances 30+. Tonight I was getting frustrated hitting low at 25 because I know that getting my D loop replaced shouldn't have changed how far my first pin is accurate to, I looked at the bow and I think the arrow is not entirely level from Dloop to arrow rest, the tip is ever so slightly lower that the nock. This could be what is causing this right? Here's a picture of the bow with an arrow set up, no sure if you guys will be able to tell if it's level or not from it

    In the picture it looks like the dloop is to high, the arrow is in a downward angle big time.

    There is a couple of ways you can fix it. You can paper tune and broadhead tune to get level flight. The best thing is to slap on a big cut fixed head like the muzzy phantom and broadhead tune. That will level out your arrow by adjusting the rest if moving the d-loop your self is out of the question. From the description your d-loop is definitely higher than where it was to start with.

    Hit me up if you need help.

    I'm not a pro, but, it looks as if you are using a drop away rest. If that be the case when you draw back and your rest lifts your arrow is then probably in line with your D loop. Having your peep realigned may have change your striking point slightly.

    Aaron S you are correct raising the peep and the kisser button up would also level the arrow out but would cause the anchor point to be lower. Nothing wrong with that and in some situations maybe ideal. Just really up to how it feels to the shooter. The key is repeatability and consistencey
