    So I'm trying to tune my broadheads and having a bit of an issue. When I first started, my broadheads were hitting about 6" low and left of my field tips. I've made the adjustments of moving the right to the right and up and then whatever adjustments needed done there after. I've got my broadheads closer and now they impact 3" to the left of my field tips.

    My problem now is that while I have my broadheads closer (about 3" to the left of my field tips) I've run out of room to move my rest to the right anymore- If I do it appears that I'm going to get contact with my cables and riser.

    What do I do now?

    How long are your arrow's?

    From all indications you are under spined.

    The 3555 are a 500 spine shaft and you should be using a 400 spine shaft.

    Sorry! I used to shoot the 3555 but have switched to the 5575. My mistake.

    I'm shooting the 5575's at 27.5" from the throat of the nock.

    Do you use a hook release?

    Mark the current location of your rest & try going "backwards".(away from you riser) See what happens.

    I use just a regular Team Realtree release and loop.

    I thought about going the other way- I was wondering if there was a chance that I went to far and screwed something up?

    You may need a spacer where your sight bolts into your riser. I had the same problem and a spacer fixed it.
