Title: Just a little left.
Post by: Boondocks on August 13, 2023, 03:41:07 PM
Hey y’all, I got a new Black Widow PSA and I have been painstakingly building arrows for it. Bareshafting out to 18 yds I think I have found the magic combo.  Nock perfect left to right and barely high. My concern is this, I shoot a little left. Like Always!  I am grouping within a tennis ball at 18yds and my fletched arrows are grouping with the bareshafts. My old bow, (same poundage) was a little left also. I’m talking like 3-4 inches but consistent. Is it time for me to just hold a little right with my recurve and accept my fate or is there anything else I could consider. FYI -I have tried 4 different bows and 4 different Black Widow PSA demos each with a different grip (standard, low, Snyder and now Cooling). I’ve tried different ways of gripping and release. I have always shot left. Are my eyes just wonky???  Any ideas?  Thanks!

p.s.- I have shot competition compound for years with zero issues with a sight so I don’t think it’s just a mental thing)

Cant your bow over to about 45° and see if it comes over.
Byron Ferguson says to draw a vertical line on paper and adjust the cant until you hit close to the line.

Never mind. I just slow motion videoed a few shots and the back of the arrow is hitting the shelf so bad I’m surprised it stayed on the target. I’ve got a whole new set of problems. Ugh
