    So I recently had to have my bow replaced under warranty, and Bowtech was really awesome about the situation and actually gave me a bit of an upgrade. After equipping all my accessories, I got my 20yard pin sighted in no problem, but when I step back to 30 yards the arrow is hitting the target way left. If I adjust it at 30, then move back up to 20, it (obviously) now makes the 20 yard pin off. Anyone ever had this problem? I thought it was maybe an issue with the new bow and the spine of the arrow, but according to the charts, the arrows I have are the proper spine. My center-shot and everything else seems to be lined up the way it's supposed to be.

    Measure from the shelf to the arrow at the front and back of the bow. The numbers should be exactly the same. My guess is you need to make an adjustment to get the arrow back in line at all ranges. You can do other things such as yolk tuning if your bow has yokes, but I am betting it's the rest.

    I know this is a silly question but are you shooting more than one arrow? Is it happening with all of them. Thought I'd try the simplest thing first.
    If that is all good I'm going with the rest as well.
