    So I have been tinkering with my assasin and every thing feels good but one thing that bothers me is the fact that I had to bottom out my sight. Ive been shooting a react 5 pin since it came out an it's been on 2 other bows and I had the same issue until I switched to the smackdown rest. I currently have the RAK rest still on my bow the hostage. Bow shoots great anchor Point is the same knock point similar and my peep sight is right where I need it. What is causing me to have to bottom my sight out or should I even worry about it. I will be going with the new smackdown on this bow so I hope that eliminates this problem. Any thoughts [​IMG]

    I'd wait for the new SmackDown and then see where you're at.

    I had the same issue with my truglo sight. Flipping the mount bracket solved the problem.

    Do you use a peep? If so don't over look the height being off. Sometimes when a sight gets bottomed out you can trace it back to an improperly set peep height.

    I use a peep and it was tied based on my anchor Points that I've been using for the past 4 years so it's definitely not the peep I thought the same thing at first but quickly ruled it out I hold my head pretty straight when I draw my bow and anchor the same everytime. It feels comfortable when I put the string in the tip of my nose and have had great Success doing so. If I change my anchor Point I change my whole style.

    I use the same sight and mine is low, but not bottomed out. Shooting the QAD Ultra also. My anchor is my thumb under my jaw line and index finder under cheek bone. Draw is 26.5. Not sure if I have anything else to help. Good luck.

    I have a longer draw naturally which may have some to do with it

    If your sight is too low (close to your broadhead), you'll have to move your peep sight up.
