this will be the reason you miss the big buck, poor attitude will likely lead to a poor shot

If you use a peep....that sight light isn't likely going to help you.

Hell I bought an entire new RIG in '06 on a Thursday. Sighted in on Fri....and shot my best ever buck at 8:15 Sat. morning (33 yd shot).

I can't see changing sights affecting arrow flight.

The new sight has nothing to do with how your BHs fly relative to your FPs.

Just tune your rest as suggested above. Simple, but do be careful to move in increments of 1/16" or even 1/32". Also only move in one direction (up/down or left/right) at a time.

I'll bet that moving the rest up and right, both about 1/16 or less, will cure it.

Moved the rest today just like you said. Took it to the right and it took a while to fine tune but eventually it shot pretty much right on once again with my FPs. Thanks everyone for the advice, minus the poor attitude guy, that was was a joke. If I have anymore problems ill let ya know.
