When you are sighting in you bow you need to move your pin in the direction you are missing. example if your arrows are hitting right you need to move your pin to the right. If they hit high move your pin up, and so on. good luck

If you are right handed you could be grabbing the riser on release causing the bow to torque right.
Best thing to do is get some one to watch you shoot.

my 2 cents, had similar problem and after period of gradual improvement I hit a " wall" , almost like I started to regress. A pro gave me several possible reasons:
1. are you aiming with your dominant eye? do you close the other?
2. at lower light do you see hallow around your pins?
3. subconciously grabbing the bow at release (said here before re: torque), hold your bow up till you hear the arrow hit. I found bow sling very helpfull and it allowed " surprise" release.
4. punching the release trigger?
It is good to have somebody watch your form, many bad things we do subconciously.
Good luck with determining the cause.

I helped a buddy of mine set up his bow tonight and no matter what I did he kept shooting right just like you. I then went in back of him and watched closely and found he was tipping his bow to the right just slightly. I told him to straighten it and he was hitting bullseyes in no time. I also suggested he get a level because I caught him doing it a few times after that.

I agree with cwilks15, I think you maybe tilting your bow on release, or your jerking a little on release. I agree with everyone else on having someone watch you shoot.

Good Luck

My guess is torquing the bow. When you pull back have you fingers open, and let the force of the draw hold it in place. when you are at full draw, lightly fold your fingers around the grip..Dont grab it!!!!
