It has to be tuned before it can be sighted. If it's shooting a proper arrow, tuned and the sights are in line with the string and rest then you likely have some torque issues with your form.

Kodiak is right the bow must be tuned before it can be sighted in. Make sure centershot and nock point are correct then line the sight up with the string and arrow. Then if you are still shooting "way" left, make sure you aren't left eye dominant. Shooting a right handed bow when you are left eye dominant will make the arrow fly way left because instead of lining up inline with the arrow, you are looking at it down a line which is actually a couple inches off of the arrows flightpath.

trigger or fingers? when i shot with my fingers on occasion i would hit left even after being sitted in..error in how i would release my fingers...the middle finger would catch the string a little longer then my pointer finger causing it to hit left.
