Default Why right of center shot???

I shoot a cybertec at 30" set to 65 lbs.
3d rover converted to drop away,29" ACC 3-60, string loop and caliper release. When I set up for center shot a get a nasty left kick when I shoot through paper. I have to move the rest a long ways to the right to get it even close. Does anybody have a clue why this is happening? Any suggestions would be great. Thanks again.

First, if you are using a strap around your bow hand, I would remove it. Make sure that you are not gripping the bow tightly, your hand should be extremely relaxed.

If you look at the path of the string on one cam bows it is not parralles to the face of the riser. It travels diagonally from the idler wheel down to the cam on the bottom. This sometimes requires a rest to be set up right of true center shot to get good flight.

Vic is right....but the Excel and Versa single cams that are available on the Cybertec utilize the new dual track idler. The string now exits the idler in a parallel line to the center of the riser/limbs. This wasn't the case with previous Hoyt single cams.

If you get a left tear and it is remedied by moving the rest to the right then my guess would be that it is either a torque issue or less possibly a spine issue. It can't be fletching contact if your drop away rest is working effectively.

Try changing the point weight up and down and see if that has any affect. If it doesn't then try different grip styles.

Wow, a jumping bow! <img src=icon_smile_clown.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_clown.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_clown.gif border=0 align=middle>
Sorry to be smart, I just couldn't resist. When I first started I used to have a torque problem, and took off the strap, never put it back on. Actually, there are bow hunters out there that don't use a strap, like me.

Never had one &quot;jump&quot; before. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
