Default sights

I just put a vertical inline sight on my pse. today i was shooting it for the first time with the new sights on and it was shooting about 8 inches to the right. problem is I already have the sight as far as it will go to the right. Any ideas on adjusting the sights. also the bow has been paper tuned.

I'm afraid to say that it can't be tuned or you wouldn't have that problem. How was the bow tuned, laser or paper? Perhaps your torquing the bow....

Are you shooting field points or broadheads?

Need more information. Shooting release or fingers?

Oh, and welcome to the forums. Let's here more about your setup, bow and arrows.

Paper tuning is just a rough starting place. I suggest you do a search on wlak-back tuning as this is finer tuning than paper. Maybe even bare-shaft tuning if you have the patience.

Eyeballing from the back how do your pins line up with the centershot and your arrow? Normally they are just slightly to the left; maybe 1/8" or so. This should give you a visual to see if they are close.

If the bow is indeed tuned and you have sufficient room in the sight window you may just have to add a spacer between the sight mount and the riser. I don't think this is the problem, but it is an option.
