    My bow is dialed in right now and I have no reason to move my sight any, just a what if question. My sight pins are just to the left of my buss cable (the cable that attaches to the slide). Hopefully my terminology there is right. Heres my question if i needed to move my sight much to the right then I would not be able to see my sight pins when I'm drawn back because the pins would be in line with the buss cable. Anyone had this happen before? Its not a problem now I'm just thinking ahead in case I'd need to adjust my sight right.

    How is that possible? I must not be understanding what you're saying clearly. What you're telling me is that your sight pins are aligned inside of your string. If you're arrow is on the string and traveling in a straight line across the rest it has to be clearing your cable. Your sight should be positioned on this same plane. So, if your arrows are flying true then your sight can't ever be behind your cable. What your scenario tells me is that your arrows can't be flying true. You need to do some tuning.

    Anyway you could post up some pics? That would give a clearer picture of what you are talking about.

    Never heard of this extreme. Is this by chance a Bowtech? I know some of the binary cam bows have the cables in the sight picture. Not to the point where you can see the pins, but inside your sight window nonetheless.

    Speaking for myself , i've probally owned 25 bows in my lifetime and set up hundreds for my customers , but on all my previous bows including my new Destroyer 350 my pins always end up being to the left of my shooting string about the thickness of the string , i'm right handed and thats the way it always seems to end up ...........if yours is just of the buss cables i would seem to think you may have a problem .........LOL

    Post up some pics i gotta see this
