I've got a few hundred shots on my Telson 130 and I am currently down to shooting GT Lazer IIIs because I've ruined all but one of my Lazer IIs... Recently my bow has started to group to the right. Today I adjusted the scope to shoot more to left and by the time I was done shooting (roughly 28times) it was shooting back to the right. I've got no idea what would be causing the bow to want to creep its groups to the right???

On occasion I'd get 2 arrows grouping on bullseye and 2 others to the right. I marked my arrows and it didn't reveal anything. On any given group of 4 shots, some or all would group to the right and 1 or 2 would be on target. When I say to the right, I am talking 3"-4" to the right... All of the past 150+ shots I've taken have been at 50yds.

I noticed the bow's tendency to want to group to the right my last time out and today I verified it. Any ideas?

I am using a cocking sled so I don't think it's that...

For a scope I am using a Hawke XB30 with rings so I'd be very surprised if it's the scope. In the event that it might be the scope, any ideas how I could confirm that?

I am not 100% sure how to check the timing, but I am using Viper-X string and cables so I wouldn't think the timing would change with cables that are made the way those are. This is what I am leaning more towards at this time. Each cam appears to be in the same position in relationship to the limbs when it's cocked and not cocked.

Could the problem be with the limbs themselves??? Could the limbs be stressed without any visual signs? I ask this because it seems to shooting differently the more I shoot it. Almost like the limbs are "warming" up after a few shots...

I would try another scope before going any farther. Any scope will do  for  that test.

Check to see if the screws on the scope rail are still tight.Mine did come loose after a number of shot.

I know this is a old thread but did you ever find your problem?

The bow was incorrectly pressed by a dealer... The bow has to be pressed at the tips and it was pressed too far up the limbs. This caused the problem.when new limbs were put on, the problems went away.

How did you determine this? Just wondering. The only work on mine has been at the factory. That was when I went to the T130 upgrade from the 125 original purchase.
