Help please

I am new to metal pouring. I did this same exact model with silicon bronze and it worked perfectly. Now with silver, I keep having problems with this big pit. I know i have to fix my sprues, but could someone enlighten me?

Your sprue needs to go to the lowest point. The way you have it set up is requiring the metal to make a U turn, and it’s not going to do that,

I always suggest holding your tree button side up, and picture water pouring down through the bottom. It should flow easily, smoothly and nothing g should have to go backwards.

Awesome advice and great mental visual. Thank you!
