    I am consistently hitting 3-4 inches to the right when I shoot. From 10 yards to 30 yards it's consistent. I have moved my sight but it is still consistently off

    I recently had my string and cables off and I know now that I shouldn't have done it without someone with experience assisting me. I do have everything back together the way it is supposed to be and the bow is shooting just as good as it always has with the exception of being off to the right.

    So for my question. I have been seeing people on here talking about yolk tuning and cam lean and from what I'm thinking this is where I might be out of tune. So in order to get my arrows hitting back where they are supposed to be which cable do I need to add twist to ?

    If you all have any other suggestions besides yolk tuning please feel free to share.

    I hope this makes sence and any and all help will be greatly appreciated

    Here is my set up :

    2001 Hoyt ultratec
    HTM Precision Last Word sight
    Trophy taker original fall away rest

    Easton carbon raider 400 with 100 gr field tips

    I would suggest that you first set centershot correctly.

    I prefer the french tune method just because it's easier.

    Draw a plumb line on your target using a carpenter level for reference.
    Sight bow in to line at 3-5 feet
    step back to 20-40 yards(whatever your comfortable with) and shoot at line. Move REST ubtil arrows are grouping on or around line.

    Repeat process until you hit line at both distances.


    Once you have done this,then you need to shoot through paper.

    If you have a tear,you will need to twist the yoke to get the tear out,assuming you are not torquing the bow.
    If you have left tear,twist the right side and untwist the left equal amountst.
