Just received a new bear super mag shoots where I'm looking at just way high if I aim below where I wanna shoot dead on never had that problem had a super mag before is it just me or a tuning problem! Thanks

Your not from Coloweedo by any chance are you? ;-)

Is it the same poundage?

Not much to go on here. Whats the nock height, what arrows you shooting?

Raise your anchor slightly.

It's you.

Yes I know, not helpful!

I'm with Sticks on this one. Woods walker, I'm almost offended by your Colorado comment, and I'll leave it at that. Good luck Rhett.

Thanks guys and I'm from oklahoma!!

I had the same problem shooting the same arrows from different bows of equal draw weight. One bow I had I would consistently shoot high with. I was advised to move my nocking point up on that particular bow which I did and it pretty much solved my problem.

You might try that a little bit at a time realizing you can move it only so high before it will began to adversely affect arrow flight due to being too high. I would suggest 1/8", shoot and see if it helped, then maybe another 1/8" and shoot again. See if it might not help. If it doesn't you can always go back to where it was.

Just step back a few!

;)

I always wait an after blazing a fattie before I touch a bow . Just as a safety precaution .

No two bows shoot the same, no matter same weight, length, arrows etc.

Offended at me? LOL! I'm not the one trying to turn it into California!

Besides, it's a JOKE.

Agreed that raising the nock point a little might help. Also, check to see how the arrow shelf is cut. Even among the same model bow, the shelf isn't always cut in the same place. It might ride a little higher above your hand with the new bow.

The Super 48 has a grip approximating a high wrist style. More than likely it's getting adjusted to that grip. But again, it's sure hard to analyze what you can't see. If your arrows are tuned and flying straight, then disregard tuning changes...like raising a nock set, which in my mind is never an answer. You adjust to it and look to where the heel of your hand is in relation to the bow/hold/shot sequence. If your hand is creating downward pressure, even a little during the shot, you will hit high.

Shoots where you're looking. So I can assume you are shooting (pardon the terminology) instinctive? Maybe that bow shoots flatter than your others. Are you shooting the same length arrows from that bow as your other bows or whatever bow you are comparing to? What are the other bows you are using as a comparison? Different arrow length can change the site picture even for instinctive shooting.

Just keep shooting it, you'll be fine. Patients!

Did you think all bows shoot in the same place?

I don't think he's shooting "instinctive" at all. That's based on saying that he has to "aim below ". That's Point of Aim or Gap, plain and simple. Which isn't a problem. Just recognize the increase in the gap or the change in the point of aim and move on.

I completely agree with NOT messing with tuning if the arrows are truly flying well, that's not the answer.

Keep shooting the bow. Your aim point will automatically start to line up.

FDP I hear ya, but when he said shoots where he looks I assumed instinctive. Thought maybe he was concentrating on a lower spot. If he's shooting gap or point of aim just make the adjustment on where you aim. To me that's a no brainer.

Sounding to me its shooting faster and flatter. I'd keep shooting it for things to straighten out. All bows need to be learned especially where they shoot. Maybe try looking a little lower if you can't get it to come down quickly enough. If its shooting faster and flatter that's a good thing to have don't ya think.

Raising nock might help a little if you just can't figure it out why not try it. As long as arrows don't do flippers dance.

It could be that the shelf is cut higher above your hand than the bow you had been shooting prior to this bow, giving it a higher launching point causing you to shoot high. DANNY

Just remember if you practice shooting high ,make sure you also hunt and compete at the same level of highness . Consistency is the key to traditional archery Duuuuudddddeeee

Nope...been Clean & Sober 24hrs at a time for going on 7 years now.

well ok, I agee with getting used to the bow,, make sure you form is dead on too,, like dont let the bow arm come up at full draw, ,etc,,

Just went though the same problem with a Morrision ILF Border 6BB limbs, switched to the fix crawl and cleared it up. Had the same # as my other bow , but no bow is created equal.
