I think my bow is tuned pretty well.. looks good on paper. However, I am having a problem where some of my shots go to the left. Before I did the tuning some of my shots would goto the right. I know some of my problem is torqueing, but I think I have figured out that if my sight pins are not adjusted correctly horizontally that I am subconsciously doing something to try to compensate to try to hit center. Sometimes I get excellent 2 inch groups, but then one or more flyers. Today I tried adjusting my sight pins horizontally to the left a little, and this seems to have reduced the amount that my flyers are off. Does this sound right? Has this happened to anyone else? If this is right, I guess I need to keep tweaking my sight pins.
My setup isan older model Jennings compound with dual cams. I have front sight pins, and no rear sight except a nocking bead. I am shooting with a string loop and a mechanical release. My rest is a 2 prong. Carbon arrows with vanes. I get the same results with mechanical BH as with FP.

It sounds like you're either torquing or peeking. If you're getting good groups with "flyers" once in a while, then continue to work on your form. Have someone watch you to see what you are doing. You might even be flinching a little. Or, if there is no one to help you,you could set up a video camera and then watch it to see what you are doing.
Perhaps if you consciously "follow through" you might find that your "flyers" will decrease.
