sounds like user error, no offense. Keep practicing.
Concentrate on using the same anchor point every time you shoot.
try and pay attention to every thing that you are doing preshot anchor point, the way you grip the bow, etc. and only change one thing at a time and of course practice practice practice...best of luck to ya you'll get it eventually
practice, practice, practice. get in a routine and stick with it everyday
Here's a quick way to sight in multi pin sites.Put a plus sign on your target with elect. tape.Line all your pins on the vertical tape to set your windage.Line your pin on the horizontal to set your yardages.this way you are just focusing on one plane at a time and can dial your bow in quick.And then practice,practice,practice!!
Take jwg123's advice a step further for initial siting in:
Put your top pin on center of the cross and shoot until you are sure you have sent one good shot down range (you didn't flinch on release, your anchor point was correct, your release was smooth, etc).
Now hold the bow out in your hand but don't draw. Move the top pin so that it covers the arrow in the target (sometimes it helps if you have a friend move the pin while you hold still). Shoot a group of three to verify that the top pin is set correctly. Make adjustments as needed.
Move back ten yards (or however far you want between pins). Using the top pin, aim at the center of the cross again and shoot again until you are sure you have a good shot, as above. The arrow will land below the cross, but should be in line with the vertical tape. Now hold the bow out again without drawing. Put the top pin on the cross and move the second pin to cover the second arrow.
Repeat for all your pins. If you are holding the bow consistently, you will have to make only the smallest of adjustments on each pin to have everything perfect.
jwg123 has a very original and efficent idea. i do it all the time and it works great. honestly one of the quickest and most efficient ways to sight in your bow.
Just put a new sight on took 4 arrows to set my windage using the elect tape!!
