Sideplate so far left I need a turn signal!
« on: September 14, 2017, 08:52:00 PM »
Damon Howatt 62' 50 lbs at 28
Stupid me cut center shot area back approx. 1/4 inch
long ago now I'm at least learned enough that I made a big boo-boo..I cut a hole and added a Berger type button with solid area for rest mounting. I've added a Flipper rest 2 and 1 layer Velcro to my rest. I centered just right of center shot with only end of arrow showing. I've even tried moving center shot way out to the left (right hand shooter)but no matter I still hit an inch or 2 left at 10 yards. grouping is practically touching,,,just left. I've tried 2016's then 1916's 31'' with 175 grains. Vertical Bow,SRF sight I'm trying out. Any opinions other than safety flagging?? THANKS---Greg

I think your arrow is probably too stiff, stiff arrow bounces off riser and hits to the left. Shoot a bare shaft and see if it isn't tail right coming off the bow. I don't know aluminum arrows well enough to give you much advice on them other than add more tip weight and see if things improve

Can you raise your brace height it shouldn't take much. Take up 3-4 turns until your shooting center.

Brace is at 8 inches now---think 81/4 be ok??
arrows are rated weak but I can pick up some 1816 and try them...

Are you sure you aren't weak? Try lighter FPs on the 2016s and see how they fly. You never said what your draw length is either. That would help a lot. Possibly could cut them down and decrease tip weight? Easton chart recommends a 2219 when cut to 31 inches with 150 gr tip at 50# draw.

I recently had a similar problem where arrows all hit left, about 4 to 6 inches at 15 yards.  Tried a stiffer arrow and problem went away.

Start with the tip of your arrow just barely to the left of the string not to the right of it
Change point weight or arrow length until your bare shafts are down the middle
I like wood bows. They fit my style and mentally simple self

Are you sure that you are not shooting them to the left, it seems with all of the prior adjustments that it may be something more than your bow or your arrows.
