Trophy Ridge React 5 Sighting Issues

Just had a quick question regarding my Trophy Ridge React 5-pin sight (not the Pro model). As the title suggests, I took the bow out this morning shooting a 65lb PSE, 28-29 inch draw length, 340 spine Gold Tip Hunters, and 100-grain field tips. I know I am supposed to sight in the 20-pin by moving the whole housing using micro-adjustments.

While shooting at 20 yards, my arrows were shooting high at about 6-8 inches over. Since my arrows were shooting high, I knew I had to move my housing up. After moving my housing up to follow the arrow, I noticed that the next few arrows shot were still too high, but my housing was maxed out on height. Any shots I was getting on target at 20 yards were grouping perfectly fine, but I had to aim way low.

As a test, I used the 20-pin to shoot out to 40 and 50 yards while aiming a few inches low from the center and was still hitting high (but this time I was actually hitting the target). I didn't even get to touch the 30-60 pins using the react system trophy ridge has implemented into the sight due to this 20 yard elevation issue.

What is going on with this sight And what could I be doing wrong?

Welcome to AT from northern Illinois. Can you provide us any pictures of your bow from the side with an arrow nocked so we can see how the arrow sits, nocking point, peep sight, and how your sight is mounted. Before switching over to a single pin HHA, I used a Trophy Ridge React 5 pin and never had an issue sighting it in.

I appreciate everyones responses in such a timely manner, I have taken a few photos of the bow setup I currently am running and will attach them here. As you can see in the photos, the housing is in the highest position it can be mounted in on the bow. The sight cant only be moved down.

In terms of consistency within my own shot, I hate to say it like this, but my buddies I went out with yesterday also have the same general draw length, weight, peep placement, and overall setup (not including the React 5 sight), and when shooting their bows, I stayed pretty consistent in terms of shot placement at 20-60 yards.

The mounting bracket looks upside down, all the trophy ridges I'm aware of the extended slant that connects to the housing goes the otherway.

I had the the same issue with there vertical pin sight I ended up selling the sight could not get to work with my set up called the company was told it was mathematically impossible for the sight to be wrong called again got anthor guy he said to sight in the 60 yard pin and the rest should fallow if that helps any . Don’t get me wrong used a lot of there sights over the years have one on my current set up. Just that style did not work for me
