help needed

I bought a Darton Maverick extreme this summer, i set it up with a Cobra easyslide extreme and a Quicktune rest. I'm shooting much better than before but i am consistenty shooting to the left. The problem is that i am out of adjustments, i cant move the sight to the left anymore. Earlier i moved my rest to the right (only one hole available to move sight to the right) and moved my sight and this would have worked but my fletching were making contact somewhere causing my arrows to fly eratically. My only other idea is to put little washers where my rest is tightened to my bow, so it moves it to the right but not as much as before when i changed set holes. Any ideas are appreciated. thanks.

can you rotate your fletching so it won't be contacting the cable? what kind of rest? where do you anchor?

A couple of thoughts.....

1. Have you actually paper or group tuned the bow yet? I would do this first before attempting to sight the bow in.

2. If you do tune it and then find that the sight won't adjust far enough to the left then I would suggest getting another sight as you don't want to sacrifice the tune of your bow just so you can use your current accessories. Trust me, you are only asking for headaches later.

3. As for the quicktune rest....can't you just loosen the horizontal setscrew and slide the entire bar to the right...without changing the rest-set holes? It has been awhile since I worked on one but I thought for sure you could do thiss.

Hey friend,
I'm kind of new and also have an older Darton. I askalmost the same question last year. After a year mine finally shoots ok. Here is what I did.
1. Went to a skinnier carbon arrow instead of the aluminum 6075 { The vanes are skinnier on carbons}
2. Bought a cable guard to keep the darn cables out of the way.
That helped a ton. But my arrows were still twisting their way to the target. The other day a man who shoots in tournaments watched me shoot. He found 3 more things tha thelped dramatically.
3. A stabilizer to help balance the front of the bow.
4. Talked me in to using a quick release
5. BIG ONE My nock was 1/2 inch to high causing the arrow to whip and dip. Now I get straight shooting arrows with a much tighter group.
