Default need help with sights

well i was shooting my bow today and i noticed all of my shots were going to the left on my target..i took a look to see if my sights were lined up with my rest and they werent..they were to the left of my rest by a few inches which is a lot..the only problem is i would bring my sights in closer but it wont come in any closer because thats as far as it will come in..is there a special spacer that i can put in between the bow and the pin square so the pins will come in closer??..please let me know..thanks

sounds like your rest may have shifted. check to make sure everything is squared. The boe may need to be retuned.

good luck

Can you post a picture of your set-up?

Your launcher may be off center.
Turn your bow around to face you, adjust your rest launcher and pins where they're lined up with your peep and bisected by your bowstring and start over.
Sit in a chair with bow between your legs at arms length, using both hands to hold your bow and keep both eyes open when aligning your pins, peep, and string.
I like to set the bow on a foot stool instead of holding it between my knees while sitting in my chair.
You can open and close your dominate eye to check for exact centerline of your launcher, bowstring, and peep when you get them close.
If you've already done all this, forgive my pointless post.
Can you post a pic of your set up like mentioned above?
May help to determine what you need to do.

Bigbuck, If im readingyour post correct you said your arrows are shooting to the left then you wouldnt bring your site in you would move it out you always follow your arrow while sighting in your bow. Hope that helps.. Walt
