    Are your field points and broadheads the same grain, like 100 grain field points and 100 grain broadheads? How are your arrows fletched...straight? Off-set right?

    List your arrow and it specs.

    Adjust your rest to the left in 1/32" increments until your CT's impact the same point as your field tips (only do this if your arrow spine is correct first).

    As Dubbya said... if your arrow spine is correct and your broadheads are grouping well (not hitting bullseyes, but still consistently grouping tightly together) then it is a tuning problem... download the Easton Bowtuning Guide and follow it. This will also help you understand how a bow should be tuned.

    How long are your arrows? Are you shooting vanes or feathers?

    Local, we were all new at some point. In fact, I have a lot to learn myself. If your arrows are shooting to the right, slowly move the sight to the right at small increments like Dubbya said in his above post. This will bring your arrows back to the left. What kind of broadheads are you using? Best of luck to you this season and ask as many questions as you need to feel comfortable when you go out bowhunting.

    I think Dub said to move the rest, he is trying to get him to center shot before going into anything else.

    Here is the broadhead tune chart from Easton's tuning guide.

    You might want to post your bow and arrow specs so we can eliminate spine as the cause.
