Can anyone tell me what the problem is. Here is the deal. I shoot a 60" 62lb@28 Rocky Mt. Bighorn with 30.5" Goldtip 75/95. I am pulling 29". I jsut got a new string b50 and not realizing what i was doing yesterday i knocked an arrow at 20yds and released. I was so excited to shoot that i forgot to check the brace height and knock point. I shot through my fence 2 feet high and 2 feet to the right. I thought it was a mistake on my part and moved forward to 10 yds . second shot bounced off the top right of the block and stuck in tree. I then looked and saw what was problem. To excited to shoot i guesss. THe question is does anyone know what the brace height should be for bighorn. I thought it was between 8 and 9in but cant remember. also why is it shooting to right. I raised my brass nock and it is still a little high but better. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Are you sure it is shooting to the right? Or is it just shooting high, but because you are canting your bow (I assume) it APPEARS to be shooting right?

Jock, thanks for help. I do cant the bow and it is definately shooting high and right. I moved the brass nock up and it brought it down some but still right. Frusterated.

what is your brace height at now if it is too low you are lenghtening your powerstroke which will show a weak arrow shooting to the right
i have no experience with a bighorn but most of my bows shoot best with 7-8 inch brace height

was 6.5 now it is 7.5. I think this is the problem. I am going to get it around 8 and see if it is better. Thanks for help

I to had a problem shooting high and right. Had an old longbow shooter watch me shoot. I was moving my bow arm to the side when I shot. I now spend time thinking about keeping my bow arm from moving to the side when I shoot. It sure cured my problem.
