David,
Please excuse my manners. Welcome aboard
You should be able to remedy this with a $2.00 spacer. I had the same issue where I couldn't get my pins far enought right to shoot straight. I moved my pins as far right as I could and was still shooting 2-3" right. It's an easy fix. If you've moved your rest around you might want to retune your bow. If you've never done it before read through this info and then apply it. It's much easier than you'd think.

I have found that a shoe insert like a foot pad cut to size works well for a spacer quiet and you can get it in black and cut it so there is no excess hanging over on the sides.

What bow are you shooting?
Which pendulum sight are you using?
Is it dovetail mounted or bracket mounted to the riser?
What is your draw-weight?
What arrow type and size are your shooting?
What length of arrows are you shooting?
What grain weight are your broadheads?
Are you using fingers or mechanical release?

davidw........there are alot of guys trying to give you some good advice....sounds like they may have it figured out for you.
My only suggestion has to do with tuning your bow/arrows. It is a extremely important part of hunting. If your arrow is comming out of your bow perfect....you can have several problems like broadhead planing, and extremely poor penetration. Many people and unfortunetly some proshops just bolt the stuff together and send you out in the woods. Just because you can consistently hit the target, doesn't mean your set-up is ready. If your not sure how, find someone who can show you how, its valuable to understand how this works!
Best of Luck!

Welcome DavidW !!!
I had a very similar problem centering the whisker biscuit on my wife's bow. Kept adjusting my sights right to compensate - I'd start with simply moving the biscuit left to center.
