    I just swapped a whisker biscuit out and installed a Fuse drop away.

    My windage is off to the right.

    Do I assume the rest is correct and I simply need to move my pins to account for the windage, or do I move the rest?

    is there an easy way to tell?

    Has it been paper tuned? If so then just adjust windage on your sight and you should be fine! I just changed rests and paper tuned and it was off by a couple inches, I then adjusted my sights and checked with broad heads, same point of impact!

    I'm going to do a french tune and see where I'm at.

    This is the best way to see if it is your rest or not. I think that the french tune is the best way to ttune, hands down. If you are going to paper tune, form has so much to do with the paper tear pattern, you can actually get false tear readings because of form causing you to adjust things that you really don't need to. Don't get me wrong, form is very important and will affect your shooting; but from my experience, paper tuning is best for finding form flaws. That's why I have gone to the French tune for setting up new equipment. Good shooting!

    Go ahead and broadhead tune it. So aiming at the same point, shoot a field point, then a fixed blade broadhead. If the broadhead goes high and left of the field point, move your rest down and to the right. Your aim is to get the broadhead and field point to have the same POI. Then your good to go. Hope this helps mate.
