    yes you most certainly should move the rest.
    who set this bow up ?
    was the rest centered ?

    has it been paper or french tuned ?

    If the distance increments as you move further away I would definitely move it. Move it in small increments. Look up walk back tuning and try that. I usually just broadhead tune but everyone has their preferences. Good luck.

    Lay an arrow on the rest then lay another arrow flat against the riser in the shelf window. The two arrows should be running perfectly parallel. If they are not then adjust the rest left/right until they are. This will give you a good start to start getting the bow tuned in for broadheads/bareshafts.
