    When I switched, my 20 yd pin was only 3 in high. Did you measure for your peep?

    Who changed it? Did you have a shop do it? Some guys dont realize that changeing strings may slow the bow down, depending on what the string maker used for material. Even if your shooting a single cam bow you must check all settings and specs for your bow.

    i had my string put on where i buy my arrows from this hunting store in martinsville but like i said i cant seem to get dead on with it.its faster now but i've moved the sight everywhere and i think i got it one way but then i'll shoot at a different angle and it'll be completely off its like a whole different bow than b4 i changed the strings.like the sight because of the number of pins but i'm thinking bout going back to the 3-pin tru-glow to see if i can find my mark if not then i'll be selling the damn thing lol !

    If it all your nocking and anchor points are not exactly the same they is going to be a difference in your up and down.Have your bow checked out buy a bow shop to make sure everything is square and in tune(The timing on your cam could be off if the did not mark it).Did you change your cables too?If you did make sure your cams or wheels are strait when you draw back the bow because if they are not it will throw off your left to right.
