Default sighting in for the very first time

Can any give me some advice on sighting in my bow. I tried it alone but am having a hard time. I can consistently miss the middle of the bull's eye
each time. Although the arrows are grouping very well. Sometimes five will
touch. The arrows are hitting five inches low and about the same to the right. My magor adjustment on the elevation of my sights are maxed out I can't push them any further and see them. I thought maybe my rest was not right but I don't know hardy anything about archery this is my first year. Any help would be greatly appericated.

You might have a tuning problem.. Read this article first.

your form or bow needs to be adjusted....slight adjustments to your rest or nocking position on your cable will make a large difference in your shooting....also your peep....trying adjusting these then re-sight in your bow..

I would strongly advise against knocking an arrow on the cable you will be better off nocking it on the string[8D]

go easton's website and download the tunning chart and setup manual it will give you alot of insight, and get you started,
after that you can work on fine tuning,

as for up and down, first move the nocking point, the right and left move ment, is poundage up or down quarter turn at a time, as long as your grip is not torqueing the bow
