center shot question
I took my bow to the shop for a yearly tune up. When I got it back home I inspected it carefully and my centershot is 1/64 right of where it used to be. Yes, I studied this specific tuning point carefully beforehand and recorded its exact position on the bow. I noted this especially because TFOX said that incorrect center shot can spray arrows left and right.
My question is, can string stretch, orthe bow breaking in, or anything like that cause a need for center shot to be re-adjusted? My bow was never bumped or dropped. I handled it like a newborn baby.

It's hard to say. They may have put their lazer on it and made a small adjustment. It's only a means to an end anyway. The bottom line is: does the bow paper tune? Shoot field points and broadheads very close to the same spot? Does it group well? Does the walk back show vertical consistency? Those sort of things.

Ditto on what Roskoe said. I highly doubt the 1/64 makes much difference really since they might have changed your cam timing...added a twist here or there to the cable and/or bowstring....adjusted tiller...messed with your limb bolts, or all of the above. Between any of that and any string stretch, your poundage may have changed some, along with cam timing etc. Time to reshoot it...to retune it to your particular form. A bowshop can get things back into spec..get it good and ready to shoot...but only you can "tune" your bow. They can't do that for you...not w/o a lot of one-on-one time with you personally.
