    Hey there, I noticed when I am shooting my bow just about all my shots are to the left of the target. Do I need to move sight to the right a little? I have everything aligned correctly but seems to go to the left of the target. For instance I am aiming for the lung and it goes near the neck, yes a little high but mostly to the left. any suggestions wouild be great. thanks.

    Follow your shot when sighting in a bow. If shots are to the left move your sight to the left. Good luck!

    With your sight always follow the arrow.

    no I mean to the left....follow your shots. Move your sight to the left and up a little and try again. If you are still off, continue to make adjustments following your shots. Always move your pins/sight housing to follow the arrows.

    The thing here to remember is consistency. If you are always shooting left and its consistent grouping move your pins to accomodate Like other said chase your arrow with the pins. Also might want to try broad head tuning. Torquing the bow could cause that but if you torque the same way every time that is consistent. Don't be afraid to make adjustments...

    Now move the sight not the pins themselves, correct?
