Shooting problem
I am having a problem. I am shooting good groups, but for some reason I am consistantly shooting 2-3 inches to the right. I chased the shot with the sight pins, but am almost into the riser with the pins. I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong. The only thing that I have done recently is have my bow tuned and took off the kisser button. Anybody have an idea what I could be doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

RE: Shooting problem
the rest is not aligned properly
here is a neat little trick to see if you are close, put an arrow on your rest. look down from the top and see if the arrow is in line with the center of your stabelizer if the arrow looks like it runs crooked to the stabelizer the center shot is off, if it is in line you know you are close.
normally if your center is right the string lined up with the center of the rest your sight pins should be very close to being in line with the string also.

Put a spacer between your sight and riser , providing your shooting a right handed bow and it should give you plenty of room to sight in and bring your pins back into the middle of the pin guard.

RE: Shooting problem
Thanks everybody, went to the range last night. Moved the rest 1 click to the left and now I am right down the middle again. Now I am just trying to decide whether or not to go to a less spined arrow. I think mine might be a little to stiff for my setup. 28" Carbon express Terminator w/100 grain head shooting at 58-60 lbs. Any suggestions?

RE: Shooting problem
Yeah. I suggest telling us what size Terminators you're using, so that we can give you a suggestion. [8D]
Seriously, Terminators are a fairly hefty arrow. If you're worried about them being a little stiff, I'd dump the 100 gn tips and go to 125's. The extra tip weight will do two things for you. Improve the arrows' spine match to your bow AND move your FOC further forward, making for a more stable arrow.
