out of adjustment, still hitting right
I have a single pin Cobra sight on my Vectrix and am adjusted all the way to the right. Yet, my arrows still hit 3 inches right. I have no more adjustment and am gonna put a spacer plate between the mount bracket and the riser to allow more "right" movement. Before I do that, I have 2 questions:
1- does this indicate something wrong with the bow or its assembly?
2- where can I get a 1/4 inch spacer plate with (bow standard) sizedpre-drilled holes?

If you are new to this,it sounds to me like you may need a knowledgable person set up your rest for you. I agree w/ the other 2 suggestions that your centershot is off. If you want to do it yourself, move the rest in small incraments the opposite direction of the impact. In your case to the left.You should then need to move the sight to the left w/ each change.
If you keep moving the sight out and your point of impact is always to the right the bow is shooting the same based on the present settings.

This would be improper arrow spine or the rest is not set on center shotcould bea combination of both.

What should I do next?

Rather than eyeball your center shot to justyour rest, nock an arrow, line the string up to the center of yourriser (just like you have done already)and relate that to the end of your arrow. This will show if your rest is out much better than just looking at the rests launcher arm.
Kinda like aiming a handgun and aiming a rifle. The longer distance is more accurate.
Gibblet made some good suggestions to check out as well.

I had the same problem with my new Fred Bear. Arrow spined correctly, center shot good, paper tuning looks good . . . And I finally added a spacer and moved the sight to the right 1/4". Problem solved.

nevermind if you read that spine thing...CX has to be goofy lol...your arrow should be fine..gotta be centershot with the rest. id head to a shop and have them help you. thats the best way to get it all fixed and shooting properly. they will re tune it and align the sights...just take your gear in and tell them whats goin on. my shop had me set up and on target within minutes.

I'd think maybe a different style sight may be in store. But I think that you should walk-back tune it.
But it doesn't drift one way or the other??? If the sight is out of alignment, at 60yds, you'd should be WAY right, not just a little bit if the sight is out of alignment. If the sight truly is that far off, then there are lots of questions I'd have. Post a pic, and let us see it, then you may get some better suggestions. If it is this sight Cobra King Cobra 1, then there have been some problems noted with elevation, but not windage, see link: http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/product/reviews.jsp?productid=417603
On top of that, when I shoot the bow, the arrow comes out straight and stays straight the whole 20,30,40,50 and even 60 yards.
