Default BH hitting slighlty right

I am trying to BH tune my bow to my FP. Paper tune, walk back tune have been done. I am shooting very well up to 50 yards with field points. Put my BH on and hitting slightly to the right (4 inches or so), but vertical is perfect. My rest is moved as far left as it will go. I CAN move my sights to get my broadheads to line up (I did just to try and they shot well) but what can I do to have this bow tuned like it should? what am I missing? The arrow spine is within range for my setup. If I shoot to the left to compensate it will hit where I want it to.
Bow is as follows
Bowtech Insanity @ 70 lbs. 29.5 inch draw, QAD ultra, Beman ICS speed 340 arrow...I have shot both the 100 gr Ramcats, and exodus...both hit the same.

You might be able to move the arrow holder on your rest....take the two screws out and see if you can move it over they typically have a third hole.

Weird there is no adjustment left to work with.

Im far from an expert. But exodus flew right for me as well. Took either dropping poundage or dropping toba 85 gr exodus to solve the problem for me. Yet Montecs fly like darts for me and impact with FP way out there. Read many times of exodus flying right.


One thing ive been told and it seems very true... is that alot of broadheads claim.... flies like field points.. but not flies ...with....fieldpoints.
ive tried alot of different heads... and each had its own flight characteristic. But montecs ibcouldnt ....not... get them to fly with FP lol..

I moved my sight for now. Smakin straight out to 50 (as long as I do my part that is lol) with the exodus. What I did find out though which has made me grumpy is that the reason I do not have any more left adjustment is because there is a spacer that comes with the rest to help with certain bows such as mine to get the extra space needed, but its just not installed (found it in the box the rest came in)....The grumpy part comes from the tech at Cabelas who installed the rest and obviously could/should clearly see that it was out of left adjustment when he set it up. He Should have put the spacer in and readjusted. Oh well...I will get it sorted out later, but don't have the time to add the spacer and tune as I am working and headed for elk for the 1st!

Thanks for the "spacer" comment. My buddy (AO member) just bought a new bow and is grouping 4" to left but his pins are as far left as they will go. I think he might have the same issue.

No.

You tune first, then you hunt. Regardless of what your groups look like, terminal performance is critical.

You need arrows that are flying straight to deliver the energy straight through, if it is fishtailing or porpoising it won't penetrate well - setup for disaster on an elk!

Start over, now that you know what to do it won't take as long. Likely less than an hour, if your form is consistent.
