Default weird paper tune

I' ll admit that I had never paper-tuned my bow before. I read so many posts about it being of little help on a hunting setup, etc. It had always shot well and had no noticeable problems. I put some twists in my stretched out cable the other day and had to realign my loop, etc. I was also setting up to use a no-peep. At the range, things weren' t flying right, so I shot through paper at 5 yards. I had a terrible tear. We moved my GKF hunter ultimate to the left almost as far as it would go, and was getting bullet holes. The problem is, when you line things up with the limb bolts, etc, the rest is obviously pointing way left. I could not even get my sights far enough left to get on the target. What do I do? I have a Martin Panther Mag and have never had any problems with it. The shop owner said he originally sets up all Martins with the rest almost all the way right, because that is where it ends up tuning. That is roughly where it has been all along and has shot very well. I remember reading about a double tuning point on a bow. Is this what I have? I moved it back to the old position, and it is back shooting fine. Should I paper tune farther away?
