Unhappy aiming issues at 100yds

Hi there,

I shot a York over the weekend, and at 100 yds I had to aim at 2o'clock blue to get anywhere near the gold. Yet at 80 yds I aimed at the gold with no issues. The wind was blowing from behind.

Does anyone have any idea as to why I had to aim off so far the get a result at 100 yds?

Does it just boil down to tuning ?
Does the button need a stiffer spring ?
Do I need a softer spring ?

Hope someone out there can help me.

Regards

Littlejohn

Sounds as if you need to do a walk back tune to set your center shot up.

Have you done any tuning at all with your setup? If so what have you tried?

If you can hit gold at 80y without altering the sight, I can't imagine that the problem is a set up one that only shows at 100y. It could be that you were tense at 100y as that is max distance and first distance so your technique may have been a little in need of settling in or warming up.
Were you using a sight mark for 100y that was working properly on an earlier occasion?

I would suggest a button problem or the sight not square with the riser.
