I just strung up an old Bear Super Mag 48" that I have had since,I believe 1966.It was fun to shoot it again,but my shots were high by quit a bit.Any ideas you might have to help me out?

See if raising your nocking point helps,you should be able to raise it quite a bit before it effects arrow flight badl,but it should lower your point on a shoot more to were your looking..
If that doesn't work,,try something else ;)

I shoot my supermag 48 a lot, there is a huge difference between it and my longbow. It shoots way higher than the longbow for me. Its probably not the best solution, but I use a high anchor for the recurve and lean into the shot (I think this results in my bending forward at the waist a little). This puts me right where I want without changing my target picture. I shoot this bow off my back porch (elevated 16 feet), to practice shooting from a tree stand).
I think most of the compensation is from the change in anchor point. I tried changing the nock height, but really had arrows jumping off the shelf and all over the place.

Generally when I start shooting high (known yardage) it's from one of three things: I'm heeling the grip, sliding down out of anchor, or my head position is too high.

Thank you folks.I'll get back to the range and work on the things you metioned.
-
Maybe it's just faster.
-
think you guys just gave me the answer for a ? I had on another post, thanks

pick a bow , aim lower .

I try to match arrow weight to each particular bow so my sight picture remains as constant as possible. Each bow is different though and takes a bit to adjust.

I agree with Jason,,, in my case it is usually heeling the grip. I also seem to shoot high when I cant more,,,, closer to vertical seems to bring my arrows down. Dont know why,,, any thoughts??
