New bow with 5 pin spott hog, adjustable in all 3 planes. Dead on at 20 and 30 but consistently hitting right about 4" at 40. Maybe it's a form breakdown or maybe a tuning issue. Thoughts?

Yup, walk back. You could start by french tuning and of course working on your form.

I’d bet it a rest issue I’d also watch for string contact

Just shoot at 30. You'll be dead on.

Unethical????? Shooting with anything you choose is "unethical" whether its 20 yards with a bow or 200 yards with a rifle. Man or women, errors can happen. I bet you have made a bad shot at 20 yards with a bow and have lost animals (antelercollector). Practice at whatever yardage you choose and you increase your success.

You know I had the same exact same issue. I went to a bow shop and my lower cam was out of adjustment. I was tuning up it to 70 yards and the arrow would hit 4 inches to the right then progressively move further right the further I was shooting.
Good luck to you |

I once shot a deer at 108 yards with my bear whitetail hunter set at 45 lbs. But that was in 1985 and before the SJWs ran rampant on social media. Oh wait, there want social media either!

Would the bubble level on the sight being off cause that problem also?

I think it is the Coriolis effect at those extreme distances

likely you are not "dead on" at 20 and 30
more likely you are slightly left at 20 and slightly right 30 your issue could be a number of reasons, arrows spine, grip torque, etc but it really helps to know more about the specific style of longbow or recurve you are shooting |

I've been on here for some years, I know how it is. It's called hunting. Bad shots happen from any weapon. Ps. Texas Born!!!

I would double check the level of the sight bubble vs the bow as well as walk back/ BH tune. You could also be torquing the bow during the shot or be a weak spine reaction |

Ethical shots have been taken out to 1004 yards, so past 30 isn’t an issue. Might be form, as tuning should show up at all ranges.

Does it get worse at 50?
You have the 2nd axis adjustment to deal with. Each individual pin can be adjusted as well on a spot Hogg and they might be off a little bit |

Thanks for all the ideas and even the humor. I'll walk back tune as soon as I get a chance. If that doesn't work, I'll head back to the bow shop and have them recheck 2nd and 3rd axis adjustment as well as cams.

Walk back tune?? 2nd and 3rd axis adjustments?? What in the heck??
Man shooting these new fandangled bows accurately sure has become complicated.... We were shooting knocks off at 40 yards, in the early 80's, while shooting bows that might break 220fps, with our fingers, using brass sight pins, slinging aluminum arrows and yarn string silencers... |

I would put it on a bow vise leveling the bow out then check axis settings... depending on how solid you feel out to 40 I don’t think it’s necessary to walk back tune that far out as you should see the rest possibly out of alignment out to 30... definitely need to make sure the cams are not out of time.... most people do struggle with leaning their heads further right as they stretch their distance and the infamous watching your arrow could get you as we always want to move the bow out of the way so we can see where we hit the target... just my thoughts on what I would check first. Good luck!

Just before CO for my Elk hunt I had a new sight put on and had to get the tuning done I was fine until 40 then it was moving at 60 WOW make the change and it was a bunch . I thought that back at 20 it would be wrong nope dead on . The further the shot the more the minor adjustments get to working against you

Sounds like your second axis is off. In addition you third axis will really be off.
