Cut past center problem

The ragim impala recurve I am currently shooting is cut past center. This makes the 2117s I am shooting point left. I shoot left handed. This might be causing accuracy issues, but I get good arrow flight. Should I build the side out to make it point straight? Is this going to throw my spine way off?

If it shoots good, leave it alone. If you absolutely have to, put some material under your strike plate to shim it out.

Hey Tim,
What weight is the Impala? Wouldn't hurt to build it out enough to where it is shooting where you are looking-that is what is important with a bow. Depending on how far you build it out could require a little weaker spine (add a little point weight). Still shooting around 55#?
Bet you are glad to be back home!
If you get back this way, let us know!

Always good to hear from you Steve. It is 55# at 28 so I am guessing 56# at my 28.5
Wanted to go to the Appling Archers shoot but airfare was just too crazy. Wife and I are actually thinking of moving out there in a few years.

On bows that are cut past center, I adjust the sideplate (or plunger) this way: With an arrow on the string and looking from the string side, align the string down the center of the limbs and check the position of the tip in relation to this line. You want the inside edge of the shaft (at the tip) aligned with the string.
This gives you a position slightly left (or in your case, right) of centershot which is perfect for a finger shooter.
As SOS said, this may require a re-tune.

I do just like Kyle and start from there.Sometimes depending on what arrow I want to shoot I might have to adjust just a bit from that point.

I guess I better pull out the velcro and get to building.

Built it out about another 1/8" and it made a world of difference. Thanks for all the help
