Title: Arrows seem crooked
Post by: Machino on August 18, 2012, 01:05:00 AM
Hi all.  I have been shooting for a short bit and feel like I have improved drastically.  I feel accurate with my "instinctive" shooting.  Problem is it seems I'm getting a lot of crooked arrows. They still are accurate but not straight. Tonight I shot with my buddy and noticed my arrows looking crooked in the target.  Looking at the target the arrow is coming out and to the left.  Consistently, my were crooked and his were straight shooting the exact same bow and arrows.  I'm shooting a Toelke whip 52# @28.  These arrows were CE heritage 250 Toelke suggested.  I'm shooting  what I would call a modified split.  2 under and the index stays straight lined up on the temple pocket. Focusing on a deep hook, though I do feel some friction.  What Toelke referred to as milking the string.  Shooting Toelke's tabs as well.  Any suggestions, advice?

Reading another post it could be a torque issue.  My ring finger is sometimes on fire!.  Thanks for any help.

For me it is always a form issue when my normally laser arrows start going into the target at an angle.  If my ring finger starts hurting it is that my elbow is too high.  Bring the elbow down and it goes away.  Sometimes I over draw slightly and torque the string.  Sometimes it's a last second collapse.  Recently I have found that if I concentrate as much on the 'push' as I do on the 'pull' my arrow flight gets much better and more consistent.
