Arrow hitting sight

[blacktailcody]

80# Hoyt Nitrum 34 @30"
Spot Hogg Fast Eddie xl
Easton FMJ 300 with a 75gr brass insert and a 100 grain broad head

As you can see my setup is heavy! The arrows are around 675gr finished. The trouble I am having is getting the range I want without my one pin slider sight hitting my arrows. Anyone have any tips? Is it something I should just get used to and not shoot longer ranges?

Shoot lighter arrows.

When you sighted in your pin did you run it as high as it can go on the rail?  If you didn't that would do it.  That is a very heavy arrow.  But you should still be able to get to 100 yards with that.  When I put my single pin on I made sure the sight housing was all the way up on the rail.  Then moved the dial up or down to get my 20/80 yards to choose the right sight tape.

Lower your anchor point.  That's about the only option you have.  My 55# target bow with 35mm single pin housing shoots about 240-250 fps depending on arrow.  I still get 130 to 140 yards.  I expect you are shooting faster than that target bow and flatter at distance.  T-Handle release sometimes helps when transferring to lower anchor - try anchoring the gap between knuckles of the index and middle finger against the jaw bone while rotating the thumb down.  Nice part of that anchor is you can open your mouth slightly to match angle changes and peep alignment for distance. 

Tru-Ball MaxPro 4 is a good release to begin with as a hunting T-Handle.  I use a BossX target release as my T-Handle...basically the same thing.

I really want to keep the weight to maximize KE.

I have my housing as low as it can go at the bottom of the bar without hitting my arrow. I slide it about half way up to hit 20 yds

I will see what I can do! Right now I like to have the peep cover the housing perfectly but I will play around with dif anchors.

Yeah the elephants will appreciate that.  Just kidding.

Rosies are tough too!

Even with a lower anchor you're still going to want your peep to cover your housing.

Does that mean I would be moving the dloop?

No.  The only thing that will need to be moved is raising your peep.

You should be moving the arrow at 228fps with Momentum of .6827.
If you can't get the arrow to  miss your housing stepping down in arrow weight to say 500grn you would pick up speed to 289fps with.6344 momentum. And I'd bet you could clear the housing then. I'd try changing you anchor and maybe double checking your nock hight etc to be sure it's good that can effect this as well.

[coachcw]

you could try pushing the sight out to tighten up your gap .

[Timberstalker]

Good advice here. You've got options.

[blacktailcody]

Thanks a ton guys! I put a kisser on my string and moved my peep up. I have clearance now and can shoot out to 120 with my heavy arrows. I was able to get them on a chronograph today and they are going 262.2 fps average. They weigh 678.6 grains apiece. That gives me 102-103 lbs of KE!!! Should be able to kill an elk.

Or concrete if you feel threatened by a yard ornament

Glad to hear you got it all worked out.
