Have you checked the center shot on your bow. It sounds like it could be off not letting you see the whole site picture. Try group tuning to see if you need to move the rest.
_________________"Group Tuning ______________________
Bow Tuning 3: Tuning for groups Most tuning check are checks for alignment and clean arrow flight. The following exercises
demonstrate some tests used in tuning directly for group size. They are sometimes called ‘micro tuning’ tests. Because each test is based on observation of group size changes, the tests cannot
be used easily as quick checks on setup; use other tests (parts 1 and 2) for that. To tune for group size typically takes an hour or more in addition to setting up targets etc. 1 Short distance fine tuning For the present exercise, carry out ONE of the following checks: 1.1 Vertical tuning (Example: Nocking point) i) Measure your nocking point height. Shoot fletched shafts along the top of
a target face or other straight line. Note the height of the resulting group. relative positions of bare and fletched shafts
(use the ‘targets’ below). Repeat to confirm if necessary. Note ‘flyers’ separately; they may be influenced differently by micro tuning. ii) Move the nocking point by not more than 3mm (1mm is the normal recommendation). Either direction will do; upwards is often considered ‘safer’. Repeat the check, recording (on the target or using the sheet overleaf) the group height. Is there a visible change? If the group is worse, move the nocking point back the other way; if better, continue in the same direction.
iii) Continue adjusting in the ‘favourable’ direction until the group worsens. iv) Set the nocking point height to the ‘best’ setting.
Note: Vertical tuning can also be used to tune tiller, arrow rest height or any other ‘vertical’ adjustment. 1.2 Horizontal tuning (Example: Button tension) i) Write down the present button setting. Shoot groups alon
