Hi dig,

I just went through the same thing.

First you need to make sure nothing is hitting your rest.

Get a spray can of foot powder (or jock itch) and spray the last foot of a couple/three arrows. Shot each one and inspect where the rest marks the arrow. It should be even on all sides that contact the arrow. You may need to adjust both the prongs on your rest and/or your center-shot position.

Once you have determined that nothing else is touching the arrow you can proceed to step two.

Step Two. I will have more on this after you accoumplish step one

Take your time on step one to get it right.

Good Luck.....JessTheArcher

I find it hard to believe a good pro shop would just say here you are good luck
they should for the money you pay atleast help you tune it in and make any adjustments that are needed

<font face='Comic Sans MS'></font id='Comic Sans MS'>First off what type of rest do you have on your havoc. They may not have it lined up for center shot properly. The best way to line up for center shot is, If you are right handed place a piece of masking tape at the base of eacxh limb where it meets the riser. Then measure the width of your limbs and put a mark on the tape at center of the limbs. Now if you are right handed shooter put another mark 3/16&quot; to the left of the center mark. Just the opposite if you are left handed. Next nock an arrow on the string and lay it on your rest. Line the marks on the tape up with your bow string and your arrow should also line up with the string down the center of the shaft as well as with the marks on the tape.
