Default HELP!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE

only one month away till deer season, and my bow aint sighted in, i started shooting the other day and my pins need to be adjusted up and down is not my problem, but i checked my bow to see if the string is lined up with the arrow and also the sights, and it is, but my arrows are shooting about 4 inches to the left at 20 yards, and at 30 it is about off the target, what is the problem??????? any advice would help... thanks

My advice; Don't decide to start shooting a month before season opens.

You could start with sighting in left to right the same way you sight in up and down. Start there and if you can't get it where you need it then there possibly other issues! Sounds like a simple sighting in!

Make sure the bow is in centershot, and chase the arrow. Get it sighted in......

In other words, if it is hitting left, move the pins to the left. Follow the arrows with your pins to sight it in. Ideally, you'd have it paper tuned to be sure your broadheads don't go way off the mark.

As was mentioned, if your arrows are hitting left, adjust left...

Did that make the "Best Post Ever, Ver. 2.0"?
