Just bought the carbon knight a couple weeks ago and I'm at my wits end on sighting the darn thing in. 10 and 15 I'm ok get back to 20 and I'm all over the place no consistent shots at 20 whatsoever. Any advice? Could it be me or something about bow needs adjusting? Shooting 28" draw at 65lbs with GoldTip XT 5575 100grain tips

so here is my take and I'm not an expert.
when i shoot a new bow I don't worry about the target. Your getting good groups at 15 and 20 then its inconsistent.
- inconsistent in terms of bullseye but groups are good . . . . i'd bet tuning issue
- inconsistent in terms of spraying at longer distances . . . . it's you, just shoot more.
it usually takes me a good bit to get decent distance consistency with a new bow, especially when it's a dramatic change from the previous design.
I will say that for 10 years I chased long distance accuracy and when i was shown how to tune my bow I saw my long range accuracy improve dramatically. Eventually take that great bow you've just invested in and do a walk back and broadhead tune. Also if your sight has 3rd axis have that set. . . . especially for a single pin.

If you have a peep sight, throw it away and use a kisser just to see if that's the deal.
I've shot kisser since day 1 and when I try to shoot a peep, my arrows do just what you say. Couple in a group and then spray city.

Had my bro in law over today and we shot a bunch. I shot his arrows and was surprised how much better I shot with them. He shoots carbon express maxima 250 not sure why but I shot them a lot better and had tight groups at 20 for the most part. Gonna try them again tomorrow to make sure and if I still shoot better with them I may get me some. Any idea why this is???

Use center of your nose for anchor point? Have peep height set properly? (Put nose center of string with eyes closed in comfy position and when you open eyes, you should be looking through peep). Keep in mind minute differences in anchor point means inches at 20 and 12-14" at distance (40+).
