Default target tip vs broadhead flight

My broadheads are shooting about four inches to the right of where my target tips are hitting at thirty yards. I know from this chart below what I am suppose to do. Could I just get away with adjusting my arrow rest to the left 1/32" at a time? Do I need to do all of the things listed, or just one at a time. My first thought would be just one at a time...but I would greatly appreciate a more expierenced archers comments! I am also a right handed shooter...

I had a similar problem I just moved my rest 1/16th of an inch and it corrected my problem.

You have a good idea of what you're doing. Yes, do one adjustment at a time to see if things come together. The reason there are a half dozen things listed is in case one thing doesn't work then you may have to try one or all of the changes listed.

The reason they list changing bow weight first is because it's the easiest to do---and free. And often it can confirm what the target is telling you.

I think I would rather wait on adjust the bow poundage. I have the bow sighted in very, very well and I am hoping that just bumping the arrow rest to the left 1/32" and not moving the arrow up / down will fix the problem.
