I am consistently hitting left of where I am looking. I am shooting a '72 Bear Super Grizzly 45@28 drawing to 29 shooting a 2016 cut 30.5 with 150 up front. Will building the side plate out help?
Left handed or right handed?
Right handed
Left would indicate stiff. Building up the side plate would worsen the problem . I would try more tip weight first.
I'll try that tomorrow aftrnoon.
Thanks
I recently had a problem with plucking the tring that caused my arrows to go left.
Yep, string pluck or failing to push with my bow hand put me left every time.
overspined arrow
Is this a new problem?
Have you recently changed arrows?
Left can be several things I would steer away from changing your arrows if they once worked and now you just have a slight form glitch.
Bow arm not being pushed forward will cause it to float.
Anchor outside of your face will also.
dont blame the gear for what we mess up is all i am saying.
I'm having the same problem right now. Pretty sure mine is not a spine issue because my bareshafts are grouping with my feathered arrows. So I understand your frustration and I'll be keeping my eye on this thread to see how you fix it. Best of luck!
If all else has been ruled out, you can put a harder, thinner sideplate on. If you are shooting with a soft sideplate such as velcro. Try putting a thin leather or thin calf skin sideplate on. This will move your arrow strike to the right a few inches at 20 yards for a right handed shooter.
If its consistent how about just moving your bow hand to the right?
I could be in your form and have nothing to do with your setup. Most times it's a form issue if you was having proper arrow fligh before hand
Ferret is correct with this statement which IMO is the most overlooked issue "Anchor outside of your face will also". At full draw with only your dominant eye open try to look at the arrow angle and which way it is pointing, I will bet ya it is pointing to the left of your target.
Try to get the arrow directly under your dominant eye and inline with your target.
It may also be a grip torque issue. I have a bow that will hit left if I don't relax my bow hand. As long as I shoot with a gentle grip, I can stack arrows and they fly straight. But as soon as I put a little firmer grip on the bow, they start flying left again.
