I was helping a friend that bought my old bow out. There was a need to move the sight to the right, its good enough for him at this point, however there is no more right adjustment. Does the rest need to be moved? Or would walk back tuning( hasnt been done yet) cure this issue?

Hey Turf. From what I understand from the pros on here you could be looking at alot of things. One is which eye is he using for shooting? What poundage is the bow and what arrows is he using as the arrows could be to stiff or to soft a spine? also it could be as easy as a flight tunning. BT or Mr. Krause can answer this a lot better than I ever could.
Give them the specs and they will have some great suggestions for you.

the dreadedPSE Nova I had lol, he is right handed (using right eye) at about 27 inch draw with 27" carbon fury 4560 and 45lbs and winners choice strings. He used to shoot in his younger days, then hurt his shoulder and couldnt shoot until one day I let him draw that one, was the first bow he had been able to draw in years

Turf, if you are familiar with flight tuning, it definitely has to be done.....  |

Does the rest need to be moved? Or would walk back tuning( hasn't been done yet) cure this issue? Walk back wont help....I assume  Here is what I assume and why it wont help if I am correct...... (alot of assumption here  ) I assume that you did not do your sight adjustment at only one range I assume that once the pins were set that all the pins are in line and that he is hitting on the mark at various ranges such as 10 - 20 - 30 yards I assume that the sight is mounted correctly to the riser and does not have a missing block that was intended to be between the sight mounting base and the riser. I assume that the sight has not been bent I assume that he is holding the bow in a loose manner so as not to torque the riser on the shot ( I have seen this many times...done incorrectly,perfectly every time  ) I assume.... If this is the case then one of two things are an issue which is either the arrow or the anchor point. A weak arrow would hit left and therefore you would need to move the pin to the right to bring the arrow left. (for a right handed shooter) An anchor point that was too far inward would also cause the arrow to impact right and necessitate moving the pins to the right. In such extreme cases as you have described, point weight changes will not correct this  Have you changed the bow weight? Is he shooting open handed? Have you changed arrows? Have you shot the bow?.....is it hitting for you?. |

Who knows lol, nothing has changed since I had the bowI assume that the sight has not been bent Does not appear to beI assume that he is holding the bow in a loose manner so as not to torque the riser on the shot ( I have seen this many times...done incorrectly,perfectly every time ) Everythime I have watched him, I make sure he has a loose gripIf this is the case then one of two things are an issue which is either the arrow or the anchor point. A weak arrow would hit left and therefore you would need to move the pin to the right to bring the arrow left. (for a right handed shooter) Carbon fury 4560 at 27" with 100 grain field point at around 45lbs (havent measure but did turn it wayyyy down for him)An anchor point that was too far inward would also cause the arrow to impact right and necessitate moving the pins to the right. Could be, will watch a bit closer next timeIn such extreme cases as you have described, point weight changes will not correct this Have you changed the bow weight? yesIs he shooting open handed? yesHave you changed arrows? noHave you shot the bow?.....is it hitting for you?. no I havent shot it[/quote] |

from all of that it sounds like a rest or torque issue to me ...
what happens when you shoot the bow?
to far to the right ? In that case it is a torque issue - perhaps his thumb is hitting the riser? I'd try some different grip styles.
to far to the left when you shoot? then probably the rest is bumped or fletch contact.

Also....have you checked to see which eye is his dominate eye?. It could be that he is left eye dominant Sounds like the arrow isn't the issue. shoot it at 10 yards and see if the arrow impacts left of where it impacts at 20. If it is left at 10 then you need to flight tune it |
