123456 Report post Posted January 2, 2013 I do not know if this is the first time sighting in your 7 pin sight, but if it is, a common mistake is to start the whole sight bracket too high. What I like to do is adjust your 20 yard pin all the way up with the individual pin adjustment. Then use the entire sight bracket adjustment to get it sighted in properly. This will give your bow maximum adjustment. Be careful not to put your sight bracket too low and have fletchings hit the bottom of it. (common with 10 pin sights and some elongated 7 pin sights.) If you think there is a problem with the bow itself, take it to archery headquarters and have them chronograph it. That would be the only way to see if your arrow is flying slower than it should be.

Redman Report post Posted January 3, 2013 1/4 inch seems like a large gap, I assume your 40 and 50 yd pins are on target? Peep aligned ? Can you move the sight on the riser? Have you ever shot the 70 and 80 pins (did something change)? Like said earlier if you think there is problem take it to the shop sorry off this was not much help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gauchoand Report post Posted January 4, 2013 There are so many possibilities it's not even funny. To list a few nock placement, arrow stiffness, porpoising.....etc. Sorry that I cant be of more help. I hate to let others touch my bow so my first recourse would be recommending to find a copy of the Easton Bow Tuning Guide and go through it knocking the possibilities off the list. Its easy to find online.... Ah forget it heres a link http://www.eastonarchery.com/img/downloads/software/tuning_guide.pdf I keep a hard copy at home cause it's kinda my archery bible. It may seem a little dated but the basics are all there. If not find a good shop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Willyhunts2 Report post Posted February 2, 2013 I agree with 123456. And +1 for archery headquarters. Go in and ask for George. He will set you up right and tune your bow in minutes. He will go out of the way to help you out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
