Default Shooting Right

Kindof a dumb question for you guys. I have been having a problem w/ my bow shooting too far to the right. It is 3-4" right. I have my sight & rest moved as far to the right as possible. My pro shop has tried to help me, but does not have any answers. Is this something that can be corrected by my shooting mechanics or is it maybe just my bow and the way it fits me? The only way I can move my sight to the right anymore is to put on some spacers between the bow and sight. If I do this my sight window will be almost non exisant.
I hope I explained this properly. Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks

Why is your rest moved to the right so far? Is it close to centershot? If the rest is to the right then that's the direction the arrows will shot. I suggest moving the rest to center, tune the bow from there and then try resighting.

Actually you should be moving your rest to the LEFT, not to the right. This could be your problem.
