    Hey guys I've got a quick question for ya, when my girlfriend shoots she's dead on at 20 but at 30 and 40 she's a little bit to the right is that a rest issue or should we move her sight just a tad? It's not her form because the same thing happens to me when I shoot her bow

    I had that problem and it was my sight. Start out at 40 and then go down from there. Or at least that's what I had to do.

    Trying doing a French tune.
    We did it the other day to finish dialing in our HHA sights.
    Start at about 3 yards and use your 20 yard pin. make sure that when the arrow hits the target that the windage is good ( left and right). If it is off move your sight chasing the arrow to get it to be right in line. Don't worry if the arrow is high or low while shooting at 3 yards.
    Now go back to 10 yards and shoot again using the 20 yard pin. Shoot at the spots and if it is high or low move your rest slightly to adjust it until you are dead on the spot.
    Once you have done that you can go back to 30 and make minor adjustments to the sight if needed to be spot on.
    If that is not working you make a fletching clearance issue that is more dramatic at longer distances or you may need to have your bow tuned.
