ARROWS NOT HITTING TARGET

I'm kind of ignorant when it comes to trouble shooting the bow. I made 3 red oak bows and have 4 recurves ( bought ) along with some Osage bows. I LOVE making the bows. Trouble is when I shoot them the arrows always hit to the left ( I'm right handed )AND the arrows hit UP. That is the point is higher than the nock ( 0-25 yards ). ?? Whats wrong.

Im no expert but it sounds like you need to match the arrows to the bow's poundage, centercut, etc.
I think left is stiff(spine), but Im sure those that KNOW will be along shortly.

from the sound of it, your arrows are wrong^^
Do you know the specification of the arrows?

Your arrows are stiff, and your nocking point is low.

The arrows are Easton 2219 ( 30") and Terminator 4560 ( carbon ). One bow is a Wing at 36lbs and the others I'm shooting are homemade. They all pull more than the wing.

The 2219's are way too stiff. Don't know carbons.

try aiming the arrow, not the bow. sight down the arrow, use the lie of the shaft to line up with the mark. doesn't matter what arrow spine, either.

What eye is your dominant eye? Are you left or right handed?
