Arrow keeper off centre
I was doing some range work on the weekend and noticed my arrow keeper seems to be a little bit off centre. Does it matter and is it worth trying to get it straightened out?

If it’s not loose and the bow is accurate to your hunting range, I would leave it alone.

I would leave it alone. Chances are it has a groove worn into it on the bottom side already, especially if it's rubber wrapped. Leave it be unless it's a problem for you or you may find yourself chasing your tail

I fixed mine on my Matrix 380. Had to fix the spring on the anti dry fire system anyway, so while I had it all apart I straightened the arrow retainer out pretty easily. Only two screws holding it in place and it's done now. Looks much better (I have O.C.D.)
Having said that I would leave it until off season to do the repair, just in case anything goes wrong. I've heard that some guys will strip the screws taking the scope mount off. I learned from a different thread on this site that a member suggested using a T handle driver to get the most direct power into removing the scope mounting screws. That was excellent advice! Using an allen wrench is NOT recommended.

I would leave it alone for now but after the season gently grab and move in the proper direction and it should go back in place if your talking a sixteenth of an inch or so it's rubber mounted it will move a tiny amount. I moved my buddys almost an eighth last year it probably took a hit out in the field.
If it moves again your probably gonna have to take the scope mount off and retighten the screws.
