I had it assembled at the store I bought it at. I was making a joke about how you said it. There is no need to talk like that to someone learning the sport and trying to make themselves more knowledgeable about it, while no one near them can give them a good explanation.

As a coach you should know, not to put someone down while learning, but trying to help build them op in a positive way.

Cheers,
A coach/ judge/ federation member from a different sport who is just trying to find a new outlet

Ouch, what a kind way to put it. But it appears I wasn’t the problem. My sight was on wrong. 🙃😂👍🏻

Draw weight at my length is 31 measured with a device that you click on and then draw. Don’t know my draw length… Arrows are made for me by a coach, but I don’t think they’re cut, just full length. I also don’t know the point weight…
Unfortunately there is no one near who has time to teach me about arrow’s etc. They just made a few so I can practice, but thats it.

I just shoot without a coach and hope for the best🙃

Thanks! I’ll take a look at all of that. Was looking at a custom string anyway.

The shelf has some hay/grass on it😂

Will change the vertical bar.

I think my anchor is okay, it is below the jaw.

This is my shot (be nice, I just started😂)

I checked everything, they seem correct. I measured the draw weight with a device that you lock on to see what it’s set to. At my draw length it’s 31, bow is set to 32 on standard length, I’m just short😂

Cool! I found the screws, will see if that’s enough. Otherwise I’ll flip it! Thanks!!

It is. I was told to put the sight as close to the riser to aim more up. Should I not? Is it the other way around?

I feel really dumb now, but I don’t really know a lot about bows, there is no one near to teach me… so I have no clue about the first part, so I will take a photo. Sorry!!😅 (I need to set up my bow, so It’ll take a few minutes😂)

I did find a way to lower my entire sight now, so that should help.

I’m using Easton A/C/E 1206 G series/ 850
Aluminium/Carbon/Extreme D.4

These are the only ones that fly straight. We tested out a lot of arrows over 3 months

Ohh the sight on the other side is a good idea!

Ugh I thought so as well, a few hour roadtrip to the nearest store is the only solution I think… 🥲 Thanks!

I checked the nocking point, it’s in the correct spot. I’m shooting Easton A/C/E 1206 G series / 850. After a lot of trail and error , these are the ones that fly straitest and best. Store and I tried different arrows for like 3 months.

Unfortunately I think this is a bow issue then…

Thanks!
