Dick . . .not so stupid sometimes. Ever do an adjustment and it didn't seem like the POI changed at all? Or you did an adjustment and the POI seemed to go the wrong way? I have done this and it makes me crazy. In most cases the recticles are sticking. What I've done to correct this is to adjust the scope all the way in, then all the way out. Then start on the loose side and tighten until I get the POI I want. I've known some guys to tap on the scope after each adjustment.

Recticle sticking can drive you insane.

Sumner you hit it right on the head. I was adjusting and not getting a real difference. I just went out and did as you said an it adjusted right in. Thank You my Friend.

if you are shooting high, you want to actaully raise the crosshairs on the scope. This makes you lower the bow to get back on target

basically you move the opposite way you want to shoot
