I shoot a 2006 Bowtech single-cam bow (29" draw, 70#). I recently had my bow tuned, thus correcting the center shot. This has caused my arrow to hit far left from the target's bull's eye. This would normally not be a problem but my tru-glo 3-pin sight has its windage adjusted as far to the left as possible and I'm still hitting left of the bull's eye. Please tell me how to correct this. The only way I know is to move my arrow rest (whisker biscuit) further to the right but that will disrupt the center shot and the bow's tuned state. I believe I have good form and anchor point. Are there sights made specifically for this problem? I should also mention that I am right handed and use a mechanical release.
Something isn't right. You say it's a 2006 BowTech single cam? Are you sure it isn't a Binary cam? If it's a Binary cam (and it is truely tuned, not just set at center shot) it sounds like you're suffering from the excessive cam lean problem inherent to those cams. My suspicion however is that your bow isn't truely tuned. I'm betting that the shop just set it to center shot. If that's the case then you still have some tuning work to do.Get a copy of the Easton Tuning Guide and do some bare shaft tuning. Once you get bare shafts and fletched shafts impacting in the same point at 30+ yards, then you're tuned. You have to be the one shooting the rig to get it tuned, they can't do it for you in a shop.
Need to move the rest to the right in small increments. I would walk back tune and then broadhead tune. My 06 Allegiance did the same thing when center shot was set dead center.

Agree!
Paper tune the bow your self.
I'll tell on myself. I prevoiusly owned a bow that paper tuned with the rest way over to the left, well the sight wouldn't go over that far; I bought an HHA 5000 sight because it would go over further than the sight I had. The problem was the grip / my grip, I don't do well with a fat grip. Bare riser or sideplates help reduce torque. My current bow, and previous bow, have both tuned right on center (or very close) with sideplates only and there is plenty of adjustment for the sight.

Even if this is the case,you should never set a rest out of the normal centershot range,NEVER. You should be able to group tune the bow and get the tightest groups possible and that should be done by the individual but never set a rest outside of center just to shoot good paper.Your groups will suffer.

I know that.
That was a couple of years ago. I didn't like it then either,didn't keep thebow long.

I appreciate all the help you can give.
Thanks!
First off, "HOW TALL ARE YOU????" Some of that sounds like problems I've seen w/ DL being too long. You should NEVER run out of adjustment on a sight, if you do, there's something wrong with the bow's tune. "How far from left of the riser edge is the center of the arrow???" I believe your rest is your problem, I've yet to set up a bow that I couldn't get the sights adjusted when it was set up "right."
Bow sight won't adjust any more to left
