    Hey ya all,

    I recently started archery for bow hunting once I have the skill set to do so. I got a Bear Cruzer.
    I've been shooting it everyday since I got it however I've run into an issue in sighting in the bow.
    At 10 yards in still shooting off center, I adjusted my sights "chasing the arrow" but now my sights are maxed out at the high and right and in still shooting high and to the right. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. But I can't chase the arrow anymore.
    I'd appreciate any and all suggestions.
    Thanks

    Your centershot is probably off, I'd take it back to your local pro shop and ask them to papertune it and then they'll probably move the rest over and it'll fix the issue, only other thing I guess if you were torqing the crap out of it that could effect it badly as well but I'll bet its just not centered up, easy fix.

    what he said! you can also move the rest yourself if you feel comfortable enough doing it. its the opposite of the pins so instead of following where you are shooting you move it opposite. best bet thought is to bring it to a shop and have them paper tune it

    could be grip unless shop sent bow home with ya out of tune. I would have em' check draw/ATA and set rest centershot. I personally don't papertune new bow's instead going straight to bareshaft then broadhead tuning.

    I prefer to yoke tune over moving rest very much if bow has yokes. anyway good luck to ya.

    I'd take bow to pro shop have spec's checked and make sure it's tuned (timing,centershot etc.) if still having problem could be a form issue which is common with new archers

    Thanks for all the advice. I checked my bow and the rest, a basic whisker biscuit, was definitely not center. I'll adjust it and see if that helps if not then off to the local bow shop I go. Thanks again for all the info.
