    This is probably a silly question to most but I can't figure something out sighting in my bow. The arrows keep landing left of center and I'm not sure whether to move my sights to the left or the right. Any help with sighting in a bow would be welcomed. Thanks.

    You want to follow the arrow. If it hits left move your sight left. if it hits high move it high, and so on.

    Just follow your arrow. Be patient and be sure you get 'er sighted in correctly and at the appropriate distances you want
