Problem with sight
I was shooting tonight and everything was 5-6 inches right of the bull. So I moved by pins further right. My groups may have shifted a half inch or an inch. But I no longer have any room to move my sight further right. Do I have a tuning problem that is causing arrows to fly right? I have great groups from 10, 20, and 30 yds. and arrow flight looks great. I just spent all weekend getting good flight. Am I going to have to move my rest left to compensate for the sight or what are my options. Thanks for the help!

I had problems shooting 3-4" inches to the right and found that If I opened up my stance(make sure that an imaginary straight line drawn through my right to left shoulder is pointing perpindicular to the target), it corrected the problem. I' m a right hand shooter...........
An easy way to test this to see if it will help is to lay an arrow on the ground pointing toward (perpindicular to) your target; Now approach the side of the arrow and butt your toes to the arrow with your feet spread a shoulder width' s apart.......Shoot several rounds and see if your grouping moves to the bulls eye....
Another way to test to see if you are perpindicular to your target is to close your eyes and then draw to full draw pointing toward your target just as you were going to release. When at full draw, open your eyes and see if you are aiming to the right of the target (stance closed too much) or to the left of the target (stance open too much).. If your stance is correct, you will be pointing directly at your target when you open your eyes. This helped me, and I hope it will help you.

RE: Problem with sight
Am I causing the arrows to fly that far right? When I look at my sight now from behind the bow it is noticably right of center. Just wondering if I have awful arrow flight. Althought it looks good.
