Default Spot hog fast Eddie xl sighting in

Got my new nexus 4 with a fast Eddie xl triple stack. It’s shooting way left and wondering how I can adjust it, I can get it close with my windage knob but then it’s cranked all the way to one side . Any tips would be great

Well when in doubt go back to the basics..

bow torque / gripping bow
did you change your stance
did you change your anchor point
is your bow out of tune

step back and re-evaluate

Loosen the Allen key on the piece that holds the windage bar. Should be on the top of the sight. Then slide the bar in the desired direction. Then tighten back down. You can take the scope right off that housing by doing this, so adjust as desired then you can use the micro adjust you speak of to do any final adjustments.

I believe Spott Hogg came out with a bracket this year to help with this

If there have been no issues with your form, you may need an offset plate. I had put one on an old bow of mine when I installed a more modern sight.

Check your center shot. You are trying to compensate for a tune issue with a sight adjustment.

OR… you need to move your whole sight housing, if it’s mounted to a bar loosen it and adjust, then tighten.

From what you are describing, your most likely problem is your center shot. For most manufacturers, center shot (inside of riser to center of arrow) is listed as 3/4" to 7/8" with 13/16" as optimal.

Here are 2 ways to test center shot other than just measuring off the riser

1. Nock an arrow. Put the bow between your feet facing forward, and look straight down from the top. If you are able to line up your arrow with the direct center of the 2 limb bolts, then your center shot will be close.

2. This is easier to do with a friend: nock an arrow and then had your friend hold the bow. Take a 2nd arrow with the field tip remove. Run the 2nd arrow on the inside of the riser (tip end towards the shooter), over the berger hole and running parallel with the nocked arrow. The arrows should be the same distance apart (approx. 1/2 inch) for the full length of both arrows. This will prove the nocked arrow is running perfectly parallel to the riser. Basically you are using the 2nd arrow as a long straight edge off the riser.

The 2 other issues, but less likely are:

1. Fletching contact. If you are still shooting good groups then this probably not the issue. An easy test is to rubs a little red lip stick on the outside edge of the vanes. If there is contact, there will be lipstick on your bow or rest. This will not work with a Whisker Biscuit.


2. Improper sight set up. I believe some spot hogg have the ability to mount the sight housing on either side of the vertical mounting bar. If it is on the wrong side you could run out of windage adjustment.
