    I had my sight completely set and bought a new bow case so it would not get knocked off (mistake), so night before opening day I decided to shoot a little bit, first shot at 20 yards flew over the target, my sight is now up as far as it will go and I am still shooting about a foot high. Any ideas?:cry:

    Check your peep and make sure it did'nt move
    Also check your rest and make sure that it did'nt move.
    Anytime your have to move your sight to an extreme ( up-down-left-right) There is something else that is causing the problem.
    Good luck

    Agree, Sounds like your peep has moved. May be your rest but I would bet it is your peep.

    Goodluck

    I am having the EXACT same problem and I just posted about it in Tech Talk. After 100 shots with your new bow it should "set in" meaning the strings will adjust and stretch etc. I'm going to take mine back into the shop this weekend and get them to help me re-sight it now that I have been shooting for a good amount of time with it
