    I have been shooting regularly for a while. I head to Missouri in two weeks to finally hunt. I’m now shooting about 3 inches high at all my pins. I have a 3 pin fast Eddie xl. Not sure why. Im probably an idiot but I cannot figure it out. Broadheads and field tips are shooting the same. I’m assuming move the whole housing but I also don’t want to jack up my sight tape and redo that. Any advice would be welcomed before I move anything.

    Is it potentially string stretch or peep movement?

    Sounds like your serving came loose and your d loop shifted. Check that first

    Absolutely no components have been changed? Exact same nocks, same release that hasn't been adjusted, same mole skin on rest launcher, etc.?

    My first suspect would be you've had some string stretch and timing has changed. Stops not hitting at the same time will show up vertically on the target. But, I'd also think the peep would have rotated a bit.
    It takes very little peep movement to change POI. Check that your peep won't slide up/down at all too.

    @Fix helped. It was peep shift. It’s actually pretty loose. Thanks guys. Pretty silly that I didn’t catch it.
