Stupid new string...AGHHHH!
I got a new string on my bow. I sighted it in at 10yds, then 20yds, then 30 yds. Ok so it seemed to be going good. I take it back out today and it's all to heck! 4" high and 3" to the left. I adjust and now it's dead on. An hour later I go back at it. 2" low and 2" to the left.
I'm not the best archer in the world, but at 10yds come on!
Any suggestions?

I can't see the new string itself causing this much fluctuation in shot placement. All that I can gather is that when they put your knock point back on the new string it may not have been centered. I would take it to your proshop and have them recenter it to be certain that you arrows are leaving the string correctly. Other then that I can't be of much help. Good luck.

My bow pro is out of town until Friday. I plan on having him take a look at it. I did have some string leeches put on. Wonder if they have anything to do with it?

It sounds like you are changing you anchor point !!
It's probably something stupid and simple I'm not paying attention to.

Is everything tight, especially the rest?
I had something similar happen to me and I kept looking at everything but nothing seemed out of place. Finally I started checking screws and the rest was ever so slightly loose and was moving such a small ammount I didn't notice it.
Another thought. Do you use a Trophy Ridge sight? If so I would look real hard at the sight moving.
