Hello, so I bought a Toelke whip back in January and have been shooting it more and more this year. I have never shot traditional before so it has been a learning experience and a lot of fun.
I have noticed that a large majority of my shots are right and slightly low. I went to RMSGEAR here in town when I got the bow and we confirmed what Dan Toelke had suggested for arrow spine and point weight. So I think I am pretty tuned. I think this is the indian and not the arrow:)
My guess is that I am dropping my bow arm on release and am watching for that. Is there anything else in my form that could be causing a consistent low right impact? Thank you

I would recommend moving this post to the Shooters Form Forum, and adding the following information:
Are you a RH shooter?
Are your low right misses consistent, i.e. do 8 of 10 shots miss low right and form a group? Or do your arrows hit different places on the target, but more than the average hit low right?
What is your nock point set at, and do you shoot split fingers or 3 under?

Assuming that you shoot RH, consistent low and right arrow impact could be caused by letting your draw hand (or draw fingers) creep forward slightly at the release, creating a slight string pluck (loss of draw length, pulls arrow to the right). You might trying focusing on getting to a good anchor and then extending slightly beyond it as you release.

Clips would get us all a better idea of what's going on. Film a shot sequence from the side your draw hand is on...and one from overhead, and one from the rear...that will cover pretty much what we need to see.
