I shoot instinctively and have no plans to change. I tried gapping years ago and did not like it especially for bowhunting. However recently I've been experimenting with aiming at long ranges (30+ yards). For target shooting purposes and just for fun. I've never been a great instinctive shot past about 25 yards.

That being said when I aim with the arrow tip I miss significantly left. Probably 6 inches or so at 30 yards. I also noticed that if I just pull up as if going to shoot instinctively and then sight down my arrow with one eye my arrow tip is not in line with the intended impact point but several inches to the right. I've never noticed this until aiming at these longer distances.

Do you guys think this is a center shot ordeal or a form issue? I feel like my alignment is solid and arrows are tuned well. I'm also canting the bow, seems worse when vertical. I shoot right handed and I'm right eye dominant.

It really doesn't bother me because I don't shoot at those distances in hunting situations, but it has me curious as to what the problem might be. One last thing my bow is cut to center and I'm shooting with a bear weather rest so the arrow is pointed left quite a bit when just resting.
