RE: More questions than answers
Also try:
-Lower your nocking point incrementally and watch for your groups to lift.
-If the shafts you use are spined to be allowed to shot from a broad range of higher draw-weights, incrementally increase your draw weight and watch for groups to start to come center.
If the arrows you use are on the low side of a range of draw-weights that can be used, and your rest, form, and other unknowns are shedding off energy or creating drag, your shafts could be reacting to an "over-spine" symptom regardless what the"charts" say.
I strongly suspect some severe fletch/vane/shaft contact problems.

RE: More questions than answers
i was able to get out and shoot a little this morning. i tried moving my rest a little at a time and i now have it shooting just about dead center . I was able to move my sight a bit to correct for the low shooting. looks like just a little fine tuning and i will be good to go.
Thank you all for your replies and much needed help.

If you really want to tune your bow,,, do it with a fixed blade broadhead. This will bring out more spine and tuning issues with your set up. Tuning a bow to shoot field points is very easy, fixed blade broad heads will require some fine tuning that will show even better accuracy with field points. Good luck this fall
