Sight adjustment?

So, About a year ago I broke my sight/quiver off my bow. I think it was due to leaving it out in the truck bed overnight and the hard plastic freezing stiff, which made it very easy to snap. THerefore, instead of making an investment into gettin it fixed or getting a new bow, I used duck tape believe or not (you can use that stuff for anything) and was actually hitting a decent group. But, it was shooting to far left and I began compensating and began hitting more closer inregards, to the center of the target. But, a couple of times it it came off and became harder and harder to remember where I had it positioned at before.

Anywayz, The vertical alignment of sights is dead on and doesn't need adjustment but I'm shooting to far left into the ground, in the exact same place. I think it's horizontally off but it could be a number of factors. Also, I think it's important to point out, last time I retaped the sight, I reglued the little leveler I had on before and moved it more to the center of the sight, then where the edge of the level rested against the inner edge of the sight box.

So, do I adjust the sight and move it outwards horizontally or move the leveler or both?
 
Not sure I completely understand your situation, but the rule for sight adjustment is "follow your arrow". In other words, if your arrows are hitting left, move your sight to the left. Hope this helps...

Sounds to me like you need to bite the bullet. Take it to the shop and get fixed up. Sometimes this can be done for little to nothing. If you don't you will prly wound that buck of a lifetime and be sick forever about it. Just my opinion.
 
Oh my...... Is that you Red Green????? Just kidding.
I have a sight in my closet just sitting there you can have for the cost of shipping. Sounds like yop need to just throw the other one and your tape job away. Your riser takes allot of shock during a shot and it is hard to believe it would ever hold and stay acurate. If you want the sight shoot me a PM.

WTF????? thats like sleeping with your sister, it just dont make sense! I have a sight I will send you for free, but you have to promise to cut the mullett. joking, but seriously.:drink1:
 
This has got to be a joke right!?!? Take these guys up on the free sight or if you are close to Albia you can come pick up a trueglo 5 pin sight that I have sitting in my bench of archery stuff
 
I would use a dab of emlers glue...that should bring those groups back into shape:way:

Seriously, if anything drop a small amount of cash on a cheap sight if money is tight.
