Trophy Ridge Pendulum Site with V-Drive

[JDLIGHT]

I have posted this before and I am still having problems getting this sighted in.

The instructions (useless) say to stand on flat ground and shoot from 25 yards to site in. I have tried this several times and have been unsuccessful. I had to eventually tinker with the sight enough to get it in at 10 and 20 yards. I marked the 10 and 20 on the yellow strip to ensure I at least have those yardages down. I have not shot out of a tree yet. My problems start when I move to 30 and 40 yards. The groupings get really seperated. I isoloated the shooter error shots by having my Uncle watch me on each shot.

My question is, does anyone have one of these sights and know how to correctly sight it in?

I am shooting Red Head Carbon Supremes
28" arrow
100 grain
60lb draw

Any help would be great!

First problem what size exactly is that arrow? It can come in 250 or 350. I'm assuming it's 250 per what the chart recommends.

When you say it shoots at 10 and 20 yards, how does it group there? Do your arrows show any sign of hitting--fletching wearing a certain way?

Next when your arrows impact your target do they all hold the same impact pattern, meaning are they all straight at you, or coming in from the right or left? Does one impact left, then one impact right?

[JDLIGHT]

They are the 250's

Impact is the same every time. Straight on! No fletching wear.

I am shooting 3 inch or smaller groups at 10 and 20 yards. I broke the nock off one arrow and ripped part of the fletching on another.

After reading my post I did forget to mention that based on the instructions saying if you sight in at 25 yards you should be good from 10-35 yards keeping a group of 3 inches. I laughed when I read this.

But I still laugh cause I can't figure the damn thing out.

Well at 10 yards they should lay against each other right? 10 arrows in a row should all be competing for the same hole.

If it were me I would take the sight off and use a single fixed pin sight and sight it in for 30 yards and get it shooting tight at 30. Something else is going on.

[JDLIGHT]

That is the problem. It is a single fixed pin sight. I can't figure it out for the life of me. I think I may go to a bow shop this week. I need some other minor work done after one of the large stores jacked my bow up.

Have you tried calling Trophy Ridge and discussing it with them? I installed a Dropzone on my Hoyt was was having concerns with the set up. I called them and they recommended me to there bow tech and gave me his phone #. His name was Rory, I unfortuntley lost the phone # or I would give it too you. He was very helpful and might know what to do.

Thanks Wobble. I will give that a try tomorrow. I will let you know what the outcome is.
