Shooting too far Right

Yup, looks like arrow isn't quite parallel. Try moving rest left until distance between arrows is the same at string and in front. Loosen the Allen head at the back of the black mount bar and move the whole brass bushing over left till arrows are perfect, then retention (lift to correct height) and tighten. Measure height of arrow above front of the bow shelf before you start so you can get that exactly the same again, or you're just creating a new problem.

Update: I moved the rest to a nominal point .875" from the rest. As far as arrow strike, we are on the money. But the sight is still as far right as possible.
In my mind what I would like to see is a sight that, when adjusted, will allow me to move the strike of the arrow left or right of center. Much in the same way a scope works on a rifle.
Today I am going to explore the mount to see if reversing buys me anything in adjustment. ;)
Thanks for everyone's inputs, I have learned a lot!

Backed out too far???? In regards too???
From my engineering days, only three threads are required to hold a bolt securely....
As it turns out Hoyt says no more than 8 turns on most of its bows and no than 10 turns on their Ignite bows... I took them apart to see exactly where 8/10 turns where in the limb bolt and it is half way....
So in regards to my Parker bow, I have a total run of 14 turns and these limb bolts currently are backed out 7 turns....
Five years ago I tore my rotator cuff in my shoulder shooting... The doc said surgery or give up shooting... I chose to give up shooting. Until recently
I spent some time with a forty pound bow and thought that I'd crank my down a bit and try it again...

If you look at the picture your limbs are outside of the pocket on some old bows like the PSE Nova line if you do that the limbs will slip down and you will not be able to turn the bow up in draw weight.

I can tell you how many times I have had to pull a bow apart just so I can put the limb back in the pocket but hey it's your bow your money
