I've been shooting my broadheads now for a few weeks and everything was dailed in and ready to rock!!Shot my bow day wednesday at 30 and 40 yds and all was fine,went and shot it today (friday) and my 40 yd pin was hitting about 6 or 8 inches low.But my 30 yd pin was dead on and so was my 20yd pin.Couldn't figure it out,I checked to see if it was loose,but it was tight.So I moved the pin down just a tad and bingo,hitting bullseyes again! I don't know what could have caused this.Nothing changed,any ideas? Could it be that the string streched or somehting?
 
It could have been you . I tend to shoot lower at longer distances when I'm getting tired because I drop my bow arm. Try starting your practice sessions at 40 yards to see where you are at while fresh. If you start hitting high because of your previous sight pin adjustment, you will know it's you .
 
Radar is spot on. Whisker Biscuits are especially notorious for this at longer yardages because you have to make yourself hold that bow arm up a bit longer than a dropaway rest. For all the biscuit shooters out there, practice aiming the bow until the arrow hits the target. It's also possible that the cable has stretched a bit and you may have lost a pound or two. You wouldn't notice it at shorter yardages but definitely would from 40 out. A couple of twists in the cable will fix that.
 
This started right away,I couldn't had been tired,My first shots was at 40yds and it was low,and the last time I shot it,I only shot about 6 arrows,and it was spot on,so I don't think I would have been tired from that.

Take a couple of days off from practice and see where you are at . I have done the same thing over the years . I blamed the bow , not my form . I made adjustments , then had to readjust my sight pins . There is a big difference in form flaws at 40 yards vs. 20-30 yards .
