Bow tuning help

[Nooch2222]

Picked up a new hoyt Alpha X 30 a couple months ago, and is shooting good with field points. Tried fixed blades and it shoots way left. Paper tuned with field points again and is shooting bullet holes. Noticed rest is way left and arrow tip points pretty far left is this normal or is the timing off? My Archery shop is about and hour drive so just asking here for suggestions? I might be missing something. Picture of the target group is at 80 yards with field points.

Move the rest to the right to within the recommended centershot measurement range (13/16" ± 3/16" per Hoyt) then tune by shimming the cams. You'll need a bow press to adjust shims

I'll give that a try. Thank you

What he said above about moving the rest. I’ll add if you’re going to rely on paper tuning as a first step you should go it at two distances. One a few feet in front of the bow and the other at around 15’ - 20’.

Lastly, how far left are the broadheads hitting and at what yardage?

Yeah I bare shaft tuned, paper tuned and walk back tuned. The field tips are flying great. Broadheads were hitting about 6 to 8" left of the field tips

6” to 8” at what distance? If at 40-50 yards a rest adjustment will likely take care of it. If at 20 yards, then you might need to shim cams.

Can try adding a little different grip pressure to see if it clears up. I use this to figure out what im doing wrong based on my tears. If I can't clear it up then I will check ATA, CAM timing

Thats a lot of tuning steps to do and still have the rest that far left.
I am a bit different as i Hillbilly mine.
I center the arrow on the sting by lining up the arrow with looking down the string and the center of the limb bolt head. that gets me close. Then all I do is BH tune.
I havent shot a bow through paper in 15 years. Never bareshaft tune and never walk back tuned.
Maybe I am lucky but its worked for me this way for years and on multiple bows.
Just how I do it.

Took it to the archery shop. Needed to be shimed, timing was off and strings stretched! Being a new bow was thinking it wouldn't need all that. Thanks for the help

The shop should have shimmed on the set up. Really not all that much work. Bow companies can’t set up bows for every individual and the shops are supposed to address that.

Got me for $65 too. Lesson learned!

Well that’s crap. You need a new shop or invest in a press.
