    I took my bow to have it tuned yesterday. I went to sight it in today and there's something wrong. My arrows seem to be going left and kicking the nock hard to the right. But the weird thing is if I shoot with my dads release its barely to the right, maybe 1/4 inch and the arrow is straight. And if you look down the string with an arrow on it the sight needs to go right to be in line so it all looks like its correct. I've been shooting with my release for the last year and everything was perfect until now. I'm not sure what it is.

    Who tuned the bow and what method did they use? Who shot the bow or did they use a machine? Did you feel the bow was out of tune before?

    I had it tuned by the same shop that has always tuned my bow. I knew it had some cam lean and it was out of time so I wanted to get it back to normal before the season started Saturday. And I was the one shooting my bow to sight it back in today. I've always been dead on and never had a problem with it until today. I'm just at a loss because if I used my dads release its almost perfect at 20 yards. I never went any farther because it was windy and I wanted to figure out what is going on before I go to 60 and put a new tape on my sight.

    I'd take it back to the bow shop and tell them the problem. Maybe they left something out when tuning the bow. They can double check everything there including paper tuning.

    I'm going to try to get back out there today after work. I need to get it all figured out before Saturday since that's opening day and I don't have to work. It may be another couple of weeks before I can hunt again.

    Nothing like waiting till the last min to have your bow worked on. I never get this, you have 10 months where its not hunting season, why wait until a few days before the season

    I had it all done 3 months ago but I changed a few things and wanted it right. Its not like I waited and just decided to pull it out of the closet since the season starts Saturday. But when I decide I want to upgrade something or change my weight and notice that I have a little cam lean it makes sense to me to have it all fixed before I wound an animal with a bad shot.
