Archery experts need advice

[Addicting]

I have an older PSE Dream Season DNA. It is circa 2012 ish and the limbs were replaced under some type of warranty 5-7 years ago.

I’ve been shooting it and I keep consistently hitting low. I’ve adjusted the sight about as far as it will go. First few shots it comes up and hits the dot. After about 4-5 it starts creeping lower on the target. Same scenario each time till my sight is almost maxed out.

Left to right is the same with no movement. Everything on the bow seems tight. Noticed my peep is twisted a bit. Otherwise the string looks fine.

Makes me think I’m loosing energy.
So, is the string stretching causing me to loose FPS or are the limbs ready to give up?

Its a sign to buy the hoyt @Wild Bill has posted for a screaming deal.

Is your arrow level in the rest?

Id also measure your axle to axle - ive heard of weird stuff when youre stretched way past the spec'd ata.

Is your rest dropping too slowly? I've seen that with drop aways.

I wouldn’t know how to test that. It feels fine when I trip it.

With my impending hunt, I’m more likely to grab a Matthews from my local shop. I don’t really have time to ship one here and buy strings and cables and …..

I hear ya. Was just giving him a shameless plug. My best bet would be the rest as well. Hope your able to get it figured out and get confident with it.

I think your arrow is contacting sonething or your novking point is way off

How old is the string? It could be stretching each time you shoot.

It could also be a serving moving. If you have a drop away rest that is tied into the cables I’d check that to make sure it isn’t moving on you.

Is the anchor moving? The peep? How is your form?

I really doubt it’s your limbs.

Do you have a shop that can check it out?

Have you been dropping your arm to watch the arrow. Took me a long time to figure that out when I started shooting. Have to follow thru still catch myself not following thru occasionally.

String was done the same time as the limbs. There is some wear/stretch where my loop is. It is also where it hooks to a cam. Guessing that is what is moving from the posts.

Get an aerosol can of foot powder used for athletes foot. Spray on vanes. Shoot. Look to see if any is getting rubbed off and where. You can also use liptstick.

Nope, if it was that I would occasionally be shooting high. Now it’s move the sight then it moves the arrow back on target.

I wouldn’t even draw that back. Get new strings. ASAP.

 

[El Jason]

Yeah I’d replace those strings and cables before I shot that one again…

Guess I’m headed to the bow shop tomorrow.

Yeah, it looks like it's getting ready to let go.

I had a similar issue. Finally figured it out after months of frustration. My serving was sliding on my string.

Good call.

The string is fine, have the shop reserve it and go shoot.
