Imo when you release instead of your fingers releasing uniformly and smooth the string comes off the fingers with part of the finger or fingers draging on the string.half bend your fingers and lightly pull them across your string like you are releasing and let them drag a little and you will hear the pluck. wwhhhaaaanngg! Oh and it makes for an inconsistent (not smooth)launch.thats what could make an arrow go astray.

I have had the same problem on numerous occasions and it has always boiled down to either a poor release or a form problem. I have to watch myself because I have a habit of dropping the bow arm to peek at the shot. I also pluck the string or twanging as I call it. When one of these things goes wrong I am instantly aware that the shot is bad but not always sure why.

I shoot right handed. Two thing which cause high lefts are 1) not bringing your right hand to a firm solid anchor 2) tilting your head too far foreward over the arrow.

MY errant arrow is the nut behind the bow. I just don't tend to pay attention when shooting groups so I am working on it. However, when I miss high and right (I'm a leftie) is is because I have the weight of the bow to high in my hand and that applies to both recurve and HH bows.

Anyway, I get a couple of fliers at every practice. I would say 9 out of 10 it's concentration. When I get loose and start shooting too many arrows too fast one goes "oops" and I have to pull myself back.
Try shooting 3 arrows at a time. One thing I've done is put 2 targets 20 yards apart. I shoot 3 to one target and then turn around, pull them and shoot 3 back the other way, etc. The walk between keep you from rushing shots. I also don't pull all 3 arrows at once. I pull one and shoot, pull another and shoot, etc
Works for me.

I Don't have enough room for 2 Targets 20 yds apart from the center, but do put 20 yds between 2 target and walk back and forth.
