I'm normally prepared by this time and actually am a little embarrassed that I'm not. A new job has me working 50-60 hours per week, so that's left me with a lot less time to get up to speed...
Here's my issue -- my bow isn't shooting right, and I need to take it to a bow shop. Hermitage Archery is only open on Thurs, Fri and Saturday... was hoping to get it in sooner. Bass Pro is obviously out, so I'm at a dead end it seems unless someone knows of another place.
Thanks for any help.

It's shooting consistently 6-8 inches right. Holding a tight group in the wrong place. Last year PSE replaced a bushing .. not sure if it has something to do with that or not.

If it's holding a good group for you, then I would say just move your sights to the right, and center it up, if your sight pins have gang adjustment it should be a easy fix for all your yardages!
Also it could be your rest out of adjustment and would need to be moved to the left, but if your getting good arrow flight, and the bow is holding good groups I would start with the sight pins first !
Have you changed anything on your bow ? (ie. sights or rest)
Check your form ! a flaw in your form could cause problems as well !
A little more info would be helpful.

How are you so sure your sight isn't off? Are your groups at the same spot at all yardage? Do you have a single pin or multi pin sight? What yardage are your pins set at? When PSE replaced the bushing did they take everything off the bow? Start by doing a walk-back tune to see if arrows stay in vertical line. In other words shoot couple arrows at yardage first pin is set at then move back 10yds and shoot same pin at same spot and repeat at another 10yds back using same pin aiming at same spot. Arrows should be lower on target at each yardage increase but in straight up and down line. If arrows move either right or left as yardage increases then rest needs to be moved. If they are in straight line then move sight.
