    Hey everyone. I'm having a problem with my arrows. When I shoot at a target, they go where I'm aiming, but they come in at an angle, usually from the left. I'm assuming my rest needs to be adjusted?

    It sounds like you need to tune your bow. There's several methods to it but you can't just do it by watching your arrows fly. My favorite is bare shaft tuning but others like walk-back and / or paper tuning. Here's the details;

    A second vote for bare shafting as the preferred tuning method.
