1/32" out is nearly impossible to tell in the distance between your string and your sight. However, over 20 yards that 1/32" could easily be 4".
As long as your arrows are flying true I would just re-sight your bow and carry on.

As for your broadheads flying true, that could only be told by shooting them on a target.
Anyone that would dare to tell you different should be smacked.

X2....on resighting.

If your center shot was off and your rest was adjusted, you need to resight (adjust your bow sights) to the new settings.

....with your broadhead flight being off do you have the correctly spined arrows for your bow?

Did you shoot it when paper tuning? If not then it is not tuned to you. Anchor point, nose position,etc is why you need to sight it in. Everyone one is different and all the people I deal with for maintenance have you shoot your own bow when tuning.

:D X3...Like the old Phyics rule..for every action there is a reaction..same applys to tuning a bow...for every spec you change it will change another or even all to some degree...sights are usually the last change in a tune..once all other specs and tune to perfect arrow flight is changed ..so will the sights most likely have to be changed...
