Hoyt Rx7 Ultra, bought new 2 years ago. Draw length is 31.5, draw weight is just a hair under 60lbs.

For 2 years, same issue. When I draw and anchor, I go through the same process - level, located target in scope, nose to string. And for 2 years, the second I go nose to string, my holding point drops. At 20 yards, it's fairly easy for me to correct by lifting my shoulder a little. However, the farther back I go in distance, the worse it gets. AT 60 yards, I'm holding almost a foot to foot and a half low.

I've consulted Google and found a number of videos of archery pros talking about this and suggesting moving the d-loop point up higher. Basic geometry - d-loop higher, pull angle tilts the bow back from the top while lifting the bow fro the bottom. I had my local store move my d-loop and it helped, but only a little (that said, they only moved it a little too).

What's my next move? Move the d-loop up a significant amount? Torque the limbs unevenly with the top having more torque?
 
Have the top cam hit the stop a hair before the bottom, play with holding weight, play with draw length.

Paige Pearce has had some good videos on the subject.

She just helped the dude from Bow Disciples with improving hold and goes into detail about adjustments and the affects.
 
Is this no stab? Or are you using stabilization? I would start by playing with the draw length a little. I would start going shorter. More holding weight is another easy option if not already maxed on it.
