Thanks guys, but when I said I was grouping on 50cent pieces I wasn't lieing but its so far away from bulls eye... Like a good 3inches, so some sight adjustment would work better, problem is I don't know what to mess with to change sights... I'm leaning on the allen wrenches on the side of the sight pinsto change up and down and I haven't figured left right.
I need to make sure I have this straight, you can get groups about the size of a half dollar - but the groups themselves are consistently not on the bullseye (or the point of aim)? This is how I understood you post, so if this is true, then the next question is do you group to the left or right, high or low? These things can be fixed very simply by adjusting the sight itself in the direction of the arrows, no tuning to the bow is necessary it sounds (as your group size is already pretty good). So if your grouping left consistently, adjust your sight left. To adjust the sight, try to fix one problem at a time (ie: one smal adjustment at a time) and make very small adjustments moving the sight aperature up or down as needed in only very small amounts. Same goes for left and right.

Also before you start moving sights around, mark the original location of sight, both on the vertical and horizontal axis. This way if things get worse for some reason, you can pretty easily return it back to the original settings.

The key to this is consistency. If your groupings are consistently left, right, high, or low of the POA then adjustment is needed.
Some good info! If your shooting left, move sight slightly left. If shooting low, lower your sight slightly.Same goes for shooting high or right. Like AW said, do small adjustments at a time. After I adjust mine I will shoot a few arrows just to make sure the arrows are hitting the same area.
