help with tuning

[jdduffy]

I shoot right handed as well and that's what i can't figure out. when I line up the string and rest at brace my pins are clearly visible to the left which means when I draw and look through the peep my arrow is aiming to the right yet hits where my pins are aiming. How can I tell if it's a riser issue?

if your bow has a cable rod or roller gaurd your pin should be to the left,it's because of the torque that they cause.the pins will only line up with a shoot through cable set up.

Here is an explanaiton of Archer's Paradox.

Thanks for the link TX but know I'm really confused. Does that mean that if my arrows are hitting to the left of where they are pointing out ot the bow that they are too stiff? Kevin?

When I line up my string to the center of my rest my sight pins have always been to the left. I usually don't see any of the pin shaft just the fiber ends sticking out. It's always been this way on every bow I've ever shot. Someone else said it earlier that you may need a different sight that has more windage. I know the extreme sight from a couple years ago didn't have much adjustment. What sight are you shooting?

Just got around to sighting in my GT 500 today. I'm using a Spot Hogg sight and had to do some serious changes from the setup on my Synergy to get the GT shooting straight w/the sight. Once sighted in w/the 20 yard pin I was shooting 2" groups at 30 yards. Yes the pins were showing very much to the left of the string/arrow line but shooting like darts. I'll have to sight in the other four pins later to see if the grouping continues.

I was having major problems with arrow hitting far left of target with my sight maxed out to the left. I'm embarrassed to say I was measuring wrong for center shot. Once I got rest at the real 7/8" I was able to actually move my sight to the right and am now walk back tuning great and also shooting paper bullets. For a while I was hung up on having string-rest-pin alignment which kept pushing everything (including brain) left. Talked to Old Buck as I was about to sell the bow. He expalined about cable guard bows and some other issues. Wish I knew about paradox a couple days ago. Thanks to all for helping.
