Default help!!!! I can't hit the target!

yesterday and today I was shooting. ALL of my shoots were way right! I adjust my sight as far as it would go and still the same results. What could the problem be? FORM? PEEP SIGHT? I have been shooting for about 3 months with a new bow and have never had 5 arrows in a row not even hit the target!! Any suggestions would be great!!!

Paper tune. If your sights are adjusted as far to the right as they will go, something is outta whack. Get that bow papertuned, shooting good holes, and see what that does.

Your Rest sounds like it moved out or in, depending if your lefty or righty..

Check your Center Shot.

I was trying to paper tune it but not even hitting the paper. I read something on someone elses thread yesterday saying that there string streched and that moved the peep. Could this be the problem for me?

Your peep would effect up/down, not left/right. Something has gone wrong here, ranging from very simple to very difficult. Give it a good head to toe and check everything out.

it could be but more likely, like others have said your rest is prob out of wack. take it to a pro. most (around here any ways) will help you out for free. they will be able to tell you real quick if its out of tune or not.
what kind of arrows you shooting. if aluminum check for straightness. also check fletching.
